Lecture 1: Orientation, Integument, & Epithelium Flashcards
a straight line that divides the body
axis
axis of rotation of medial/lateral rotation
cranio-caudal axis
or vertical
axis of rotation for add/abduction
anterior-posterior
or
dorsal-ventral
axis of rotation for flexion/extension
left-right = transverse
axes of the human body
cranio-caudal = vertical ant/post = dorsal/ventral transverse = left/right
formed by two intersecting axes
plane
planes of the human body
median = median sagittal frontal = coronal transverse = cross-section
plane cutting right and left halves
median sagittal
cranio-caudal + anterior posterior
median sagittal plane
vertical+dorsal/ventral
plane creating front and back halves
frontal = coronal plane
cranio-caudal + left-right
frontal plane = coronal plane
vertical + transverse
plane creating upper and lower halves
transverse or cross-section plane
dorsal-ventral + transverse =
transverse plane = cross-section plane
ant/post + left/right
