means moving away from away from the median plane (except for digits)

57
Q

means moving toward the median plane (except for digits)

58

circular movement that involves sequential flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction in such a way that the distal end of the part moved in a circle

A

circumduction

59

emphasizes aspects of bodily structure and function; incorporates regional and systemic and stresses clinical application; often involves inverting or reverting the thought process

A

clinical anatomy

82
Q
