A
  • ventral means towards the front of body

- dorsal means towards the back

17
Q

Proximal and distal

A

/Towards the attached end of a limp

  • farther from
18
Q

Dorsum

A

This is the superior aspect of a body part protruding anteriorly

19
Q

Hand and feet front and back

A
  • palmar and dorsal

- dorsum and plantar

20
Q

Superficial , deep and intermediate

A
  • Towards the the surface of the body
  • farther from
  • in between superficial and deep structure
21
Q

Bilateral, Unilateral , Ipsilateral and contralateral

A
  • Paired structure is having right and left members
  • structures on one side of the body
  • structures on the same side of the body
  • structures on different sides of the body
22
Q

Flexion and extension

A
  • occurs in sagittal plane and around transverse axis
  • Flexion is the decreasing of the angle between body parts or movement in the anterior direction
  • Extension is the increasing of the angle between body parts with a straightening of limbs or movement in the posterior direction
23
Q

Knee 180 rotation so !?

A

It’s flexion is in the posterior direction and extension in the anterior direction

24
Q

Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion

A
  • Movement of raising the toes at ankle joint

- movement of bending feet towards the ground

25
Q

Abduction and adduction

A
  • occurs along the coronal plane
  • movement away from the midline in the coronal plane
  • movement toward the midline in the coronal plane
26
Q

Abduction and adduction in digits and thump

A
  • spreading apart ( abd) and closing the gap ( addu)

- thumps at 90 degrees rotation so abduction away from the fingers and adduction towards the other fingers

27
Q

Circumduction

A

Sequential flexion abduction extension and abduction in such a way that the distal end of the path moves in a circle

28
Q

Pronation and Supination

A
  • Medial rotation of the forearm such that the palm faces posteriorly
  • palm faces anteriorly
29
Q

Protraction and Retraction

A
  • to move forward

- to move backward

30

movement of the foot such that the sole faces meet you direction

31
Q

Elevation and depression

A

Raises or moves apart superiorly

raises or move the part inferiorly
