Introduction Flashcards
Flection (TOM)
Bending of body parts which decreases the angle between body parts
Extending (TOM)
increases the angle between body parts e.g straightening movement
Abduction (TOM)
away from medial plane
Abduction
draw away from the medial plane (alien)
Adduction
draw toward medial plane
Roatation
bone revolving around longitnal axis. T
Circumduction
movement of distal end of body pard in circle
Opposition
brings similar surfaces to touch eachother
Plantar flexion
decreasing the angle between the foot and the ground
Dorsilflexion
Extension- decreases the angle between sperior surface of foot and leg
Coronal Plane (TOO)
vertical plane passing longitudinally through the body from side to side
divides into front and back
Saggittal Plane (TOO)
Virtical plane bisecting body into right and left
Mid sagittal/Median (TOO)
dividing the body along its midline into symetrical halves
Transverse (TOO)
Horizontal plane bisecting the body upper and lower parts
Superior
