Anatomy and Physiology: Anatomical Position and Directional Terms If the anatomical position is placed face-down, it is in the prone position. If the anatomical position is placed face-up, it is in the supine position. Up, Down, Side-to-Side: Directional Terms Imagine that when you’re studying a (correctly anatomically positioned) body you’re looking at a map.emember, the anterior is the front view and the superior is the top view—combine the two and you’ve got yourself a bird’s-eye view of the front of the body. And there you have it: a crash course in anatomical position and directional terms. Stay tuned for part two on planes and cavities!
