Anatomy Flashcards
Divides body upper and lower
Superior/Inferior
Rotation
Transverse Plane
Closer to the head/closer to the feet
Ex shoulders superior to the knees , knees inferior to the shoulder
Superior/Inferior
Closer to the head/closer to buttocks or feet
Cranial/Caudal
Further to the front/Further toward the back
Ventral/Dorsal
Anterior/Posterior
Closer to the midline/Away from the midline
Medial/Lateral
Structure further away from the trunk/Structure closer to the trunk
Only when referring to the arms and legs
Elbow proximal to the wrist
Ankle distal to the knee
Distal/Proximal
Closer to the body’s surface/Deeper to body surface
Pec Major is superficial to the ribs
Superficial/Deep
Movement opens or straightens joint/ movement bends joints brings bones closer together
Takes place in the Sagittal plane
Extension/Flexion
Bring joint toward the body/move away from the body
Happens in frontal plane
Adduction/Abduction
Internal/external rotation
Occurs at shoulder and hip joints
Medial/lateral rotation
Pertains to the axial skeleton only head and vertebral column
Happens in transverse plane
Rotation
At shoulder and hip joints
Cone shape movement
All movements together
Circumduction
Occurs at axial skeleton
Bends lateral side
Lateral Flexion
Turn upward/turn downward
Radius crosses the ulna
Can occur at the feet
Supination/Pronation
Turn in/ Turn Out
Inversion/Eversion
Push jaw forward/Push jaw back inosition
Protraction/Retraction
Wander from the usual course occurs at the mandible during talking and chewing/ happens only at the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb pad crosses the palm toward the last pinkie
Deviation/Opposition
Retracts when performing Adduction
Protraction performing abduction
Upward and downward rotation
Scapula movements
To push downward/push upward
Plantar Flexion/Dorsiflexion
How many bones
206
The skeleton’s center, cranium,vertebral column, ribs, sternum, and hyoid bone.
Axial Skeleton
Divides the body into left and right halves
Medial and lateral
Flexion and Extension occurs here
Midsagittal plane here
Sagittal Plane
Is composed of the arms and legs, including the pectoral girdle( scapula and clavicle) and pelvic girdle (hips)
Appendicular Skeleton
The second veterbra
Axis
(C2)
