Define Elevation and Depression
Elevation- upward movement of a structure
Depression- downward movement of a structure
Define Retraction and Protraction
- Protraction- movement of the shoulders in the anterior direction
Retraction- movement of the shoulders in the posterior direction
Define Radial and ulnar Deviation
Radial Deviation: when a person in anatomical position, moves their wrist laterally towards the radius
Ulnar Deviation:when a person in anatomical position, moves their wrist Medially towards the ulna
This body division includes the head neck and trunk?
Axial Eskeleton
This is a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left parts
Sagital
These planes lie vertically and divide the body into anterior and posterior parts

A transverse plane divides the body into these two parts:
Superior and inferior
These cuts/sections are made diagonally between the horizontal and vertical planes.
