outwardturned

Outwardturned is a term used to describe a specific anatomical orientation or position, particularly in the context of biological structures. It refers to a turning or pointing away from the center or midline of an organism or body part. This outward direction can be observed in various anatomical contexts, such as the limbs, organs, or even cellular structures. For example, a limb that is outwardturned would be extended away from the body's core. Similarly, a surface that is outwardturned would be facing away from the interior of a structure. The opposite of outwardturned is inwardturned, which describes a position or orientation directed towards the center. Understanding the outwardturned position is crucial in fields like anatomy, medicine, and zoology for accurate description and diagnosis.
