Veterinary Anatomy Directional Terms

The video tutorial introduces directional terms and anatomical planes used in veterinary and animal sciences. It covers terms like cranial, caudal, rostral, dorsal, ventral, medial, lateral, proximal, distal, palmer, and planter, explaining their meanings and applications. The tutorial also discusses supination and pronation, and various anatomical planes such as mid-sagittal, sagittal, transverse, and dorsal planes. The video aims to provide veterinary students with a foundational understanding of these essential anatomical concepts.
