Introduction Flashcards
What is the anatomical position of the body?
Body facing forward, with limbs fully extended and palms facing forward
Describe these regions of the body.
1) cephalic 2) Caudal 3)cervical 4)thoracic 5)abdominal 6) Lumbar
7) Sacral
1)Head 2)Tail 3)Neck 4)Chest 5) B/w chest and genitals 6)Lower back 7)Over the sacrum
Define these surfaces of limbs
1) Dorsal 2) Ventral
1) back or posterior
2) front or anterior
The Horizontal plane is in line with what? What is it also known as?
In line with the horizon and AKA transverse
Where does the vertical plain lie?
@ a right angle to the horizon
Where does the sagittal plane lie?
from the top-bottom plane separating left from right
Where does the coronal plane lie?
vertical plane that separates the back from the front
Where is the median plane?
In the sagittal plane
where is the median plane
close to the midline
where is the lateral plane
away from midline
Define flexion and extension
Flexion- bending toward the trunk
Extension- bending away from the trunk
Define Abduction/Adduction
AB-move away from midline
AD-move toward midline
Define supination and pronation
Sup- turned upward
Pro- turned downward
Define medial and lateral rotation
Medial- turn inward
Lateral- turn outward
Define ulnar deviation and radial deviation
Ulnar- bent toward ulnar side
Radial- bent toward radial side
Define proximal and distal
Proximal is closer to the origin of the limb
Distal is further from the origin of the limb
