The standard body position used for all anatomical descriptions is called the anatomical position.
In anatomical position:
1. The person stands upright.
2. The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
3. The arms are at the sides with palms facing forward.
4. The eyes are looking straight ahead.
5. This position serves as a reference point for describing the body's structures and their relationships.
The prone position refers to lying face down, while savasana is a yoga relaxation pose. In anatomy, the anatomical position is the key standard reference point.
