Chapter 1 Flashcards
Where is ventral part directed
toward anterior
Where is dorsal part directed
toward posterior part
The face is on the (anterior/posterior) side of the head?
anterior
The hair is (superior/inferior) and (anterior/posterior) to the face?
superior and posterior
The tip of the tongue can be considered as the
apex
A plane parallel to the median plane
sagittal plane
Another name for frontal plane
coronal plane
A line that divides the body (at any level) into anterior and posterior parts
frontal plane
a line that divides the body (at any level) into superior and inferior parts. The line is also always perpendicular to the median plane)
horizontal plane
The structure located at the median plane (ex. nose)
median
An area closer to the median plane of the str. or body is the
medial or mesial within dentition
Area farther from median plane
lateral
The eyes are (medial/lateral) to the ears, and the ears are (medial/lateral) to the eyes
medial, lateral
In the upper limb, the shoulder is (proximal/distal) and the same side fingers are (proximal/distal)
proximal, distal
The right leg is (ipsilateral/contralateral) to the right arm, but (ipsilateral/contralateral) to the left arm
ipsilateral, contralateral
The (?) plane divides body into right and left halves
median
(?) is an area of the body that’s farther from median plane
lateral
(?) means on the same side of the body
ipsilateral
An area of the body that faces toward the head is
superior
which plane is perpendicular to midsagittal
horizontal
the transverse section is also the
horizontal section
the (?) divides body into anterior and posterior
frontal
(T/F) Ears are lateral to the nose
True
? is the body part that is
closer to the point of attachment of the body than another part
median plane through body divides right arm and
left leg
frontal plane through body ALWAYS bisects
arms
Bones can very in size of processes (T/F)
True
Variations of anatomy don’t impact treatment
False
The shoulder of upper limb is proximal, the ipsilateral fingers are
distal
