Origin vs Insertion Dorsal vs Plantar Superficial vs Deep Superior vs Inferior Agonist vs Antagonist
Agonist does what?
produces force
What is open for free movement during a Open Chain Movement?
the distal segment
think dumbbell bench
What is fixed during a Closed Chain Movement?
the distal segment
think push up
What is the word for opposite sides of the body?
Contralateral

What occurs during an axes?
rotation
Sagittal Plane
makes the body become left and right halves
What is the typical motion that occurs in a Sagittal Plane?
flexion and extension
Frontal Plane
makes the body become anterior and posterior halves
What is the typical motion that occurs in a Frontal Plane?
Abduction and Adduction
Transverse Plane
makes the body become top and bottom halves
What is the typical motion that occurs in a Transverse Plane?
internal and external rotation
What is a MID Plane?
a plane that divides the body into equal halves
What is a PARA Plane?
a plane that is parallel to a MID plane but divides the body into more parts not halves
Where do all the planes cross?

What is the center of mass?
the point at which all of our mass acts
