Lecture 2: Superficial Back Muscles Flashcards
Draw superior view of vertebrae
In anatomical position what are the 3 cardinal planes
1) Sagittal plane
2) transverse plane
3) frontal plane
Cardinal planes aka
“True planes”
Transverse planes…
-Gives cross-sections of the body
-a lot of movement comes from here (throwing, twisting, etc.)
Proximal
Closer to the midline
Sagittal plane
Cuts the body right down the middle
Frontal plane
Cuts the body into posterior and anterior
Distal
Further from midline
Cranial
Towards the head
Caudal
Towards the foot/floor
Superior
Up
Inferior
Down
What 3 terms can mean front..
Ventral, anterior, volar
Rostral
Towards the nose/beak
What is an example of using the terms rostral?
The facial muscle is weaker rostrally.
Radial
Towards the thumb side
Ulnar
Towards pinky finger
Anterior/volar
Towards the front of body
Posterior/dorsal
Towards back of body
Palmar
-The palm
-anterior portion of hand
Dorsal part of hand
-Back of the hand
-posterior portion of hand
Plantar of foot
-Sole of foot
-inferior food surface
Dorsal of foot
Top of foot
-superior foot surface
Superficial and example
-Nearer to surface
-the muscles of the arm are superficial to its bone (humerus)
Intermediate and example
-between a superficial and deep structure.
-the biceps muscle is intermediate b/w the skin and humorous
Deep and example
-further from surface
-the humerous is deep to the arm muscles.
What are the sections of the limb?
Longitudinal, transverse, and oblique.
Bilateral
Both sides or extremities
Example of bilateral
Kidneys and your lungs
Define unilateral and example
One extremity, spleen
Define ipsilateral and give an example
Same side or extremity, your left arm and left leg being ipsilateral
Define Contralateral and give example
Opposite side or extremity, your left leg and right hand
Flexing
Bending of joint
Extension
Straightening of joint
Opposition
The joining of your pinky and thumb
Reposition
Separating you thumb and pinky
Ulnar abduction
-3rd digit going towards your pinky
-medial abduction
Radial abduction
-3rd digit going towards you thumb
-lateral abduction
Eversion
-Sole of foot faces outward
-ankle twists inward
Inversion
-sole of foot faces inward
-ankle twists outwards
Lateral rotation of arm and leg
-rotating arm out first
-rotating leg out first
Medial rotation of arm and leg
-twisting arm inward first
-turning leg inward first
Lateral bending
-also known as lateral flexion and side bending
Elevation
Shrugging shoulders up
Depression
Shrugging shoulders down
Retrusion
-Movement of a structure in a posterior or backward direction
-putting jaw back from protrusion
Protrusion
-a movement going straight ahead or forward
-sticking jaw out (underbite)
Protraction
-The act of moving an anatomical part forward
-squeezing shoulders together
Retraction
-movement that pulls back
-pulling shoulders back
