There are three body views (front, back and side) that may be
helpful if you are uncertain of a body area. Many areas are
referred to by both descriptive and technical names. For example,
the back of the knee is called the popliteal fossa. However, areas
like the "flank" may not have both names, so the location may be
unclear.
