Anatomical positions are basic roadmap style
directions when talking about the human body
The four main directions we will be using will be lateral,
medial, proximal, and distal.

Superficial -- a superficial cut is a cut that is at or toward the body surface
Deep -- a deep cut is a cut away from the body surface; usually to go more internally
