Q

Flexion

A

Bending or decreasing

  • above the knee flexion means to bend forward. Anterior movement
    - bend at the hip, bend the bicep forward, bring the arm forward
  • below the knee is bending backward.
    - flexion is done by bending the knee back or curling the toes back

Q

Hyperextension

A

Extension of the limb beyond the normal limit

  • this has to have work done to it in order to bend because we cannot physically do this alone

Q

Abduction

A

Moving away from the median plane

Abducting the arm away

17
Q

Adduction

A

Adding the limb back to the medial plane

18
Q

Rotation

A

Turning around a body part around its axis

19
Q

Medial rotation

A

Rotation to bring back to the medial plane

  • You are looking left or right and you turn your head to look straight is an example of medial rotation
20
Q

Lateral rotation

A

Moving your head to look left or right. Rotation away form the median plane

21
Q

Circumspection

A

Is moving of the loving on all direction in a circle

  • special sequence of abduction, adduction, extension, and flexion

“CIRCLE”

22
Q

Lateral flexion

A

Special form of abduction for only the neck and trunk. Touching ear to shoulder

23
Q

Pronation

A

Rotated the radius medially so the palm of the hand is facing down

  • palm is facing posterior and the dorsum is facing anterior
24
Q

Supination

A

Lateral movement of the radius so the palms are facing up

  • the palms are now facing superior and the dorsum is facing posterior
25
Q

Eversion

A

Moved the isle of the foot away from medial plane. Moves sole of foot to point outward

26
Q

Inversion

A

Turning the sole of the foot to the median

Turning the sole of the foot “IN”version

27
Q

Protrusion

A

Anterior movement

  • protruding chin, lips, or tongue
28
Q

Retrusion

A

Posterior movement

  • pilling the tongue back in the mouth, moving the jaw back, pulling lip back in
29
Q

Protraction

A

Anteriolateral movement

  • moving shoulder blades forward
30
Q

Retraction

A

Posteriomedial

  • pulling shoulder back
31
Q

Anatomical variation

A

All out structural differences that make us who we are

  • some have the tendency to and wrist and some don’t
32
Q

Tissue

A

recognizable collection of cells plus material (matrix) between cells that function as units

Tissue are thought of as fabrics use to construct organ systems

33
Q

What are the four basic types of tissues

A

1 - epithelium
2 - connective tissue
3 - muscle tissue
4 - nervous tissue

34
Q

Epithelium

A

Is the outer later that is used for protection, secretion, and absorption

  • cells are tacked very tightly with little intercellular matrix fluid
  • forms the linings and coverings of the bodies surface, cavities, organs, and major tissue glands
35
Q

How are epithelium cells attached to underlying connective tissue

A

Basement membrane

36
Q

Epithelium shapes?

A

Squamous, cuboidal, or columnar

Can be arranged in single or multilayers
