Anatomical position is a stance in which a person stands erect with the feet flat on the floor and close together, arms at the sides, and the palms and face directed forward. This position provides a precise and standard frame of reference for anatomical description and dissection. Without such a frame of reference, to say that a structure such as the sternum, thyroid gland, or aorta is "above the heart" would be vague, since it would depend on whether the subject was standing, lying face down, or lying face up. From the perspective of anatomical position, however, we can describe the thyroid as superior to the heart, the sternum as anterior to it, and the aorta as posterior to it. These descriptions remain valid regardless of the subject's position.
