Question 2

Axis

Answer 2

An imaginary straight line around the body

Question 3

Third class lever

Answer 3

The effort is applied between the fulcrum and the load

Question 4

Sagital plane

Answer 4

The Sagittal plane divides the body from top to bottom, (vertically), resulting in a left side and a right side - flexion and extension

Question 5

Frontal axis

Answer 5

The Frontal axis runs from side to side, formed by the intersection of the frontal and transverse planes. (This allows flexion and extension)

Question 6

Saggital plane

Answer 6

Saggital Plane (flex and ext) = Front Axis (flex and ext) - Front Somersault

Question 7

Vertical axis

Answer 7

The Vertical axis runs from top to bottom, formed by the intersection of
the sagittal and frontal planes. (Allows rotation of the body in an upright position)

Question 8

Saggital axis

Answer 8

The Sagittal axis runs from front to back, formed by the intersection of the sagittal and transverse planes. (Allows abduction and adduction)

Question 9

Load

Answer 9

The force that is applied by the lever system

Question 10

Effort

Answer 10

The force that is applied by the user of the lever system
