Different Directional AP Axes in Three Body Segments of a Horse

Axis (A) (in red) shows the AP axis of the tail, (B) shows the AP axis of the neck, and (C) shows the AP axis of the head.

In this image, a horse is labeled with directional terms including anterior, posterior, distal, ventral, dorsal, and proximal. In addition, three red arrows indicate potential axes: one the length of the horse's tail, one the length of the neck, and one the length of the head.
