Function of Standard Anatomical Position • The purpose of standard anatomical position is to be able to clearly talk about different parts of moving organisms no matter how they are moving or what position they are in. This makes it easier to avoid confusion when discussing anatomy. In humans, standard anatomical position is with the body standing up straight and facing forward, with arms by the sides of the body and palms facing forward. The legs are straight, and the feet are slightly apart from one another and turned outward slightly. This is used as a starting point for describing the body. In animals that are quadrupedal, or walk on four legs, standard anatomical position is with all four feet on the ground so that the belly of the animal is roughly parallel with the ground.
