Intro to Anatomy, bones, and anatomical terms

Question 1

Sagittal Plane

Answer 1

-Bisects the body in left and right halves

Question 2

Coronal Plane

Answer 2

-Bisects the body from front to back halves

Question 3

transverse plane

Answer 3

-bisects the body horizontally into superior and inferior halves

Question 4

Flexion

Answer 4

-brings two bones closer together and decreases the angle between them

Question 5

extension

Answer 5

-brings two bones farther apart and increases the angle between them.

Question 6

abduction

Answer 6

pulls a structure away the midline

Question 7

adduction

Answer 7

pulls a structure toward the midline

Question 8

what typical movement occurs in the sagittal plane and rotates about what axis

Answer 8

• flexion and extension

- transverse axis

Question 9

what typical movement occurs in the frontal/coronal plane and rotates about what axis

Answer 9

• abduction and adduction

- anterior-posterior axis

Question 10

what typical movement occurs in the transverse plane and rotates about what axis

Answer 10

• rotation

- vertical (longitudinal) axis

Question 11

Meatus

Answer 11

canal like passageway to the interior of the body

Question 12

fissure

Answer 12

narrow slitlike opening that houses nerves and blood vessels

- tends to be on the skull

Question 13

sinus

Answer 13

cavity within a bone filled with air and lined with mucous membrane

Question 14

fossa

Answer 14

shallow baseline depression in a bone often serving as an articular surface site for muscle attachment or even to support the brain of the body

Question 15

trochanter

Answer 15

very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process that allows for muscle/ligament attachment
*the only example on femur

Question 16

tuberosity

Answer 16

roughened site for muscle or ligament attachment to bone

Question 17

tubercle

Answer 17

small rounded projection or process for muscle/ligament attachment to bone

Question 18

foramen

Answer 18

round or oval opening through a bone

Question 19

Head

Answer 19

bony expansion (a joint surface (expansion)) carried on a narrow neck

Question 20

articular surface

Answer 20

any skeletal formation (bone cartilige) that makes normal, direct contact with another skeletal structure

Question 21

notch

Answer 21

indentation at the edge of a bone often where nerves/tendons/blood vessels travel across the bone

Question 22

groove/sulcus

Answer 22

surface passageway on a bone for nerves, blood vessels and tendons

Question 23

line

Answer 23

narrow ride of bone less prominent than crest and allows for ligament/muscle attachment

Question 24

process

Answer 24

any bony promnance for ligament/muscle attachment

Question 25

facet

Answer 25

smooth nearly flat articular surface

Question 26

epicondyle

Answer 26

raised area on or above a condyle for muscle and ligament attachment

Question 27

condyle

Answer 27

rounded articular projection; often articulates with corresponding fossa

Question 28

spine

Answer 28

sharp, slender often pointed projection for muscle/ligament attachment

Question 29

crest

Answer 29

-narrow ridge of bone; usually prominant

Question 30

what is the white part of an XRAY

Answer 30

the white parts on an xray are what are most dense and the rays do not pass through

Question 31

fluoroscopy

Answer 31

allows to see a patient real time so swallowing or ingesting something like barium to detect issues

Question 32

how does an MRI work

Answer 32

the magnet alligns all the hydrogens in the water in the body and alligns them using radio waves
