Rostral-Caudal

Last updated on Friday, June 7 2013 by jdmiles

Rostral-Caudal

Rostral means "towards the nose," and Caudal means "towards the tail." In humans, this axis takes a sharp turn when it reaches the brain. This makes the rostral-caudal axis different from the anterior-posterior axis and from the inferior-superior axis.
