Clinical Practicum 1 Week 1 Flashcards
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
Sagittal Plane
Passes vertically from front to back, divides the body into left and right halves
Midsagittal Plane
Passes vertically from front to back, divides the body into EQUAL left and right halves
Coronal Plane
Passes vertically from side to side, dividing the body into anterior and posterior parts
Midcoronal Plane
Passes vertically from side to side , dividing the body into EQUAL anterior and posterior parts aka” Midaxillary”
Horizontal Plane
Passes through the body parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the sagittal and coronal planes aka “Transverse Plane”
Oblique Plane
Passes through a body part at any angle between the previous three planes
Occlusal Plane
Formed by biting surfaces of the upper and lower teeth with jaws closed
Interiliac Plane
Transects the body at the pelvis at the top of the iliac crest (Upper of hip bones level of C7)

What are the four major types of body habitus?
1.Sthenic
2.Hyposthenic
3.Hypersthenic
4.Asthenic
Skeletal Divisions - Axial
Supports and protects the head and trunk
Skeletal Divisions - Appendicular
Provides means for movement
What are the five classifications of bones? Where are they found?
1.Long (Only in limbs, Femur humerus and phalanges )
2.Short (Hands and feet, Carpal and tarsal bones)
3.Flat (Sternum, Cranium, Scapula)
4.Irregular (Vertebrae, Pelvic bones, Facial bones)
5.Sesamoid (“Small and oval” patella) [Think sesame seed]
The joints that connect the metatarsal bones of the foot to the proximal bones of the toes are called…
Metatarsophalangeal
The joints that connects the metacarpal head to the proximal phalanx of each finger are called…
Metacarpophalangeal
Condyle
Rounded process at an articular end
Coracoid or coronoid
Beaklike or crownlike process
Crest
Ridgelike process
Epicondyle
Projection above a condyle
