Anatomy Planes Flashcards
describe the anatomical position
body erect, feet together arms at the sides and palms facing FORWARD
sagittal plane or ___ cut divides the body intomidsagittal cut results in cut in the frontal or ___, divides the body intocut in what plane divides the body into superior and inferior portionsmedian plane
-sagittal or parasagittal unequal left and right parts -equal halves of the body-frontal or coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions-the horizontal or transverse planes-divides body into equal right and left parts
anterior or ___ meansposterior or __ means..superior inferior or __ means…
-ventral, near the front-dorsal, near the back-upward or near the head-caudal; downward or near the feet
mediallateralproximaldistalsuperficialdeep
-toward the midline or median plane-farther from the midline or median plane-near a reference pointaway from a reference point-closer to the surface-farther from the surface
mid-sagittal plane
median plane
sagittal plane
divides body into unequal right and left parts
frontal or___ plane
coronal plane; divides body into equal or unequal anterior and posterior parts
transverse plane
divides body into equal or unequal superior and inferior parts
body movements occur at the
joints; muscles act on joints
define joint
where two or more bones or cartilages articulate with one another
anatomy, etymology?
ana= part and tome= cutting
flexionextension
closes a joint angle so you go from 180 to 90opens a joint angle so from 90 to 180
what are the 5 things in anatomy?
bones (206), tubes (have a lumen v, a, lymph) , cords (don’t have a lumen), muscles (attachments ,joints) , organs (visceral structures)
abduction and adduction of the arm of the arm
abduction is away and adduction is towards
abduction and adduction of the leg
abduction is away and adduction is towards
lateral rotation and medial rotation of arm
lateral is clockwise and medial is counterclockwise
lateral and medial rotation of leg
lateral is clockwise and medial is counterclockwsie
elevation and depression of arms
up and down
flexion and extension of neck
flexion is forward and extension is back
flexion and extension of elbow joint
flexion is up and extension is down
flexion and extension of wrist
flexion is down and extension is up
supination and pronation of wrist
supination is palm up and pronation is palm down
retrusion and protrusion of jaw
retrusion is back and protrusion is forward
flexion and extension of knee
flexion is back and extension is forward
circumduction of leg
circle
eversion and inversion of foot
inversion is moving it laterally and eversion is moving it back down
dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of foot
dorsiflexion is up and plantar flexion is down
axial skeleton is…
skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, hyoid
appendicular skeleton
limb girdles- clavicle and scapula; coxae (hip), lims
