Chapter 1 Flashcards
Define “Intermediate”
In between a superficial and a deep structure
eg. muscle
Define “Adduction”
Moving toward the median plane
What is this?
Anatomical Position
What axis is number 1?
Frontal
“Supination”
Movement of the forearm and hand
Latera rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces anteriorly
Define “Palm”
- Flat surface of the hand
- Does not include thumb and fingers
Define “Elevation”
- Movement in the frontal plane
- raises or moves a part of the body SUPERIORLY
What plane is this?
Median / Sagittal Plane
Define “Sole”
Inferior / Bottom of the foot
What two main parts make up the skeletal system?
Axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton
“Eversion”
Turning the sole of the foot outward
Define “Protrusion”
Move the jaw anteriorly
Define “Proximal”
closer to the trunk of the body
Define “Medial”
used to indicate that a structure is near or nerarer to the median plane of the body
Define “Distal”
further from the trunk of the body
The skeletal system is composed of…
Bones and Cartilage
Appendicular skeleton
limbs
Define “Dorsum”
Superior / Dorsal surface of the foot and hand
(back of the hand)
Define “Abduction”
Moving away from median plane
(remember getting abducted-point to the sky)
Define “Inferior”
a structure that is nearer the soles of the feet
eg. foot is inferior to the hand
Define “Deep”
further from the surface
eg. bone
Retraction
Posterior movement of the shoulder
The articular system is composed of…
Joints & Ligaments
Define “Superior”
a structure that is nearer the vertex
eg. upper limb is superior to the lower limb
Define “Anterior”
Ventral/ Front surface of the body
Define “Lateral Rotation”
Takes the anterior surface away from the median plane
Axial Skeleton
head, neck and trunk
“Pronation”
Movement of the hand/foot
Medial rotation of the forearm and hand so the palm faces posteriorly
“Inversion”
Turning the sole of the foot inward
Define “Posterior”
Dorsal/ Back surface of the body
What plane does Flexion occur in?
Sagittal Plane
Define “Depression”
- Movement in the frontal plane
- Lowers or moves a part of the body INFERIORLY
What axis is number 3?
Sagittal
What axis is number 2?
Longitudinal
Protraction
Anterior Movement of the shoulder
Define “Medial Rotation”
Brings the anterior surface of a limb closer to the median plane
What makes up the muscular system?
Muscles
Defne “Superficial”
near to the surface (shallow)
eg. skin
Define “Lateral”
a structure that is farther away from the median plane
Retrusion
Move the jaw posteriorly
Which anormal curvature is associated with the thoracic curvature?
Kyphosis
Which abnormal curvature is “the hunch back”?
Kyphosis
Kyphosis and ____________ are exagerations of the vertebral curve
Lordosis
There are __ vertebrae
33
How many regions of the vertebrae are there?
5
What is C1 of the cervical vertebrae called?
Atlas
Axis, is which part of the which vertebrae?
Cervical
The “Dens” is part of which vertebrae?
Axis/Cervical vertebrae
A Thoracic curve is a ________ curvature
Primary
Which abnormal curvature does this picture represent?
Scoliosis
Which abnormal curvature is represented by #2?
Lordosis
Which abnormal curvature is represented by #1?
Kyphosis
What is #1?
Vertbral body
What is #2?
Spinous Process
What is this called?
Sacrum
