Anatromy - Intro Flashcards
1
Q
Anatomical position
A
- Upright position.
- Upper limbs next to trunk.
- Palms facing forward.
- Feet parallel.
Reference used for human movement analysis and goniometric measurement.
2
Q
Axial skeleton
A
- Head (cranium and face)
- Neck
- Trunk (chest (thorax), abdomen, pelvis)
3
Q
Appendicular skeleton
A
Upper limb - Shoulder girdle - Free upper limb Lower limb - Pelvic girdle - Free lower limb
4
Q
Cranium
A
Part of skull protecting the brain.
5
Q
Thorax
A
Rib cage.
6
Q
Clavicle

Scapula
A
Wing.
8
Q
Arm
A
Upper part, humerus.
9
Q
Forearm
A
Radius
Ulna (closer to the trunk in anatomical position)
10
Q
Leg
A
From knee to ankle
Fibula (lateral)
Tibia (medial)
11
Q
Sagittal (anteroposterior) plane
A
Splits you in right side and left side. Frontal horizontal axis Flexion and extension. From sagittal plane body parts can be: Anterior/Posterior Ventral/Dorsal Palmar-Plantar/Dorsal
12
Q
Frontal (lateral) plane
A
Divides the body in left and right, cuts the body through from anterior through to posterior. Sagittal horizontal axis. Abduction and adduction. From sagittal plane body parts can be: Medial/Lateral Internal/External Cranial/Caudal Proximal/Distal Superior/Inferior Interior/Exterior
13
Q
Horizontal (transverse) plane
A
Superior and inferior.
Vertical axis.
Rotation (internal/external, medial/lateral)
Rotation of the forearm (pronation/supination) NOT wrist
Inversion/Eversion
14
Q
Axis
A
Axis of a plane is always perpendicular to it’s plane.
15
Q
Ventral/Dorsal
A
Same as anterior/posterior.
