Anatomy Flashcards
lateral
further away from the midline
medial
close to the midline
closer to middle
proximal
farther from middle
distal

superior
below
inferior
vertical axis
midline
center
middle
front
anterior
back
posterior
close to the skin
superficial
closer to the bones
deep
laying on back/spine
supine
laying face down on stomach
prone
right in the middle
saggittal
frontal
coronal
horizontal rotation
transverse
These types of movements add to the midline
adductions
These types of movements take away from the midline
abductions
flexion example
fetal position when the entire body is fully flexed
extension example
upward arm in side angle
horizontally flexed
lateral flexion
The ability to sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position, motion, and equilibrium
Proprioception

proximal
insertion is more…

Spinal column consists of
7 cervical “joints” (C1-C7), thoracic, lumbar, sacrem, coccyx, pelvis, femur, patella, fibula=tibia, metatarsals, tarsals,
thigh bone
femur
knee cap
patella
lower leg bones
fibula, tibia
heel
calcaneous
back “wings”
scapulae
funny bone
ulneus nervae
scoop up motion
supenate
cartilage
cushions the ends of joints, absorb impact and reduces friction
synovial fluid
brings nutrients and oxygen to the joints because blood supply does not support this.
What sort of bone is the patella
It is a sesmoid bone that is completely wrapped within a tendon.
Major muscle used in plank
Pec Major
Pec Major
responsible for flexing the arm from extended position. It can internally rotate. Major muscle used in plank.
Muscle that attaches to the scapulae. Can help lift the ribs to assist in breathing.
Pec Minor
SCM
Sterno Clydo Mastoid. neck muscles
Boney protuberance at the base of the skull
Mastoid process
Muscles that attach to the front ribs (1-7) from the base of scull
Anterior scallenes
Muscles that attach to the back ribs (1-7) from the base of scull
Posterior scallenes
“six pack”
rectus abdominus (attaches from the xiphoid process, at ribs and pubic bones.)
“White line” running down the center of the rectus abdominus
Linea alba
What are abdominals really good at?
Stopping and controlling movement.
2 types of obliques?
External oblique and internal oblique
Rectus abdominus is superficial to the…
external obliques
External obliques are superficial to the…
internal obliques
Muscles of the hips
Gluteals
Illiopsooas (referred to as hip flexers…but, that’s an action; includes Psoas Major)
Abductors
External rotator
Performs primarily hip extension
gluteus maximus
IT band
Illium-Tibia band (longest piece of connective tissue)
TFL
Tensor facial line - helps contract the IT band for abduction
Pigeon can help…
External rotators
Extend the knee and help with hip flexion
quadraceps
rectus means
straight
Quadraceps consist of…
Vasci
Rectus femurus - crosses with hip joint
vascus medialis obliques
Adductors consist of…
pectimius adductor brevis adductor longis adductor magnus adductor gricilis
Hamstrings consist of…
semitendinosus (front)
semimembranosus (back)
Biceps femoris (extends hip…flexes the knee)
ESG
Erector spine group (muscles along the spine that help with lateral flexion)
Lats - help you to stay upright
Latissimus Dorci
Helps the latissimus dorci
Terris major
rotator cuff muscles
TISS - major job is stabilization
Flexes the elbow joint
biceps
The muscle under the bicep (helps push bicep upwards)
breakealis
Extends the elbow joint..attaches to the ulna
triceps
flexes the wrist
flexors
extends the wrist
extensors
