The -ad ending means " toward " or " in the direction of. " So caudad means

toward the tail. Cephalad means toward the head. Craniocaudad would mean

toward the skull and tail. Wonder why the term wasn't " cephalocaudad, "

which would mean " toward the head and tail " ?

That's an anomaly. Anybody know why it's that way?
