Terminology in Anatomy
Anatomical terminology is a standardized language used to describe the locations and relationships of body parts. This terminology includes terms like 'proximal' and 'distal' to indicate relative positions, as well as specific regional terms such as 'axillary' for the armpit area. Understanding this terminology is crucial for accurately identifying and discussing body regions.

Regional Anatomy
Regional anatomy focuses on specific areas of the body and the structures contained within those areas. It allows for a detailed examination of the relationships between different organs and tissues in a particular region. For instance, studying the brachial region involves looking at the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that are found in the arm.
