Here, I present a summary of the differences between the terms Hazard Analysis and risk assessment, and provide a brief description of the origin of the terms to highlight the intended meaning and the fact that the results, or outputs, from performing Hazard Analysis and risk assessment also differ in nature.
Anterior and Posterior. Anterior (ventral) refers to the âfrontâ, and posterior (dorsal) refers to the âbackâ. Putting this in context, the heart is posterior to the sternum because it lies behind it. Equally, the sternum is anterior to the heart because it lies in front of it. Examples. Pectoralis major lies anterior to pectoralis minor. The triceps are posterior to biceps brachii. The patella is found in anteriorly in the lower limb.
The sternum is located in the middle of the thorax, in between the two sets of ribs. 1  Early on during development, the sternum is divided into 3 regions, each known as sternebra. 2  The average length of the sternum is approximately 17 cm. 3  The sternum connects to the ribs via cartilage.
