Q

What is the anatomic position and why is it important?

A

The anatomic position is a person standing upright, facing forward, with the arms at the sides, the palms facing forward, and the fingers and thumb extended. The anatomic position is important because it is used as a reference position for mapping the locations, structures and points of the human body.

Q

What skeletal body is the pelvis girdle apart of?

A

36
Q

What is proximal/distal often in reference to for the skeletal body?

A

Appendicular skeleton only

37
Q

What plane does flexion and extension occur?

A

Movements that occur in the Sagittal plane around the mediolateral axis.

38
Q

What is flexion?

A

Movement of a joint whereas the ventral (soft) surfaces of the two body parts come closer together. (Basically bending the arm).

39
Q

What is extension?

A

Movement of a joint whereas the dorsal surfaces of the body parts comes closer together. (Basically straightening the arm.)

40
Q

What plane does abduction and adduction occur?

A

Movements which occur in the appendicular skeleton that occur in the frontal plane.

41
Q

What is abduction?

A

Moving away from the midline of the body (mid-Sagittal Plane)

42
Q

What is adduction?

A

Moving closer to the midline of the body (mid-Sagittal Plane)

43
Q

What plane does right/left lateral flexion occur?

A

Movement within the axial skeleton that occurs in the frontal plane around the anteroposterior axis

44
Q

What is right lateral flexion?

A

Movement at a joint that bends a body part to the right side (laterally)

45
Q

What is left lateral flexion?

A

Movement at a joint that bends a body part to the left side (laterally)

46
Q

When a muscle rotates an axial body part toward the same side of the body where the muscle is located.

A

Ipsilateral rotation

47
Q

When a muscle rotates an axial body part toward the opposite side of the body where the muscle is located.

A

Contralateral Rotation

48
Q

Movement of the ankle joint (talocrural joint) where the foot moves interiorly, toward the plantar surface of the foot.

Plantar Flexion

49
Q

Movement of the ankle joint (talocural joint) where the foot moves superiorly, toward the dorsal surface of the foot.

50
Q

Movement between the tarsal bones whereas the plantar surface of the foot moves away from the midline of the body.

51
Q

Between the tarsal bones whereas the plantar surface of the foot moves closer to the midline of the body.

A

Inversion

52
Q

Radioulnar joint movement wherein the radius crosses the ulna.

A

Pronation of the Foot

A

Supination of the Hand

55
Q

A combination of three movements inversion, adduction, and plantar flexion.

A

Anterior Tilt

62
Q

Movement of the pelvis where the superior aspect of the pelvis tilts.

A

Posterior Tilt

63
Q

A movement at a joint that brings the body part anteriorly.

Protraction

64
Q

A movement at the joint that brings the body part in posteriorly.

A

Retraction

65
Q

This is a combination of 4 actions 1) adduction, 2) extension, 3) abduction, 4) flexion. No rotation is occuring although it appears that way as the 4 corners of the other movements are rounded out.

A

Circumduction

66
Q

Typically, when a muscle contracts usually the more fixed (proximal) attatchment stays fixed while the more mobile (distal) attatchment moves. With this action, when the muscle contracts the usually more fixed attatchment moves, while the normally mobile attatchment remains fixed.

A

Reverse Action

67
Q

What is the difference between a tendon and a ligament?

A

A tendon serves to move bone. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

68
Q

This allows for and restricts movement in different directions. They are always situated around the junction between two bones. You find them at joints or articulations.

A

Ligaments

69
Q

These are the ends of muscles that attatch to the bones. They connect muscles to bones and allow the muscle to contract and move the bone at a joint in a particular way.

A

Tendons

70
Q

The science and study of the function of the human form and its parts.

A

Physiology

71
Q

What is the difference between anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology?

A

Anatomy is the science of shape and structure of the human form and its parts.

Physiology is the science and study of the function of the human form and its parts.

Kinesiology combines the study of anatomy and physiology, however, adds the mechanics of movement of the human form and the application of the principles to evaluate and treat postural and muscular imbalance.
