Lecture1. Introduction Flashcards
What are the 3 planes for position
- midsagittal
- frontal/coronal
- transverse
Which plane do we have the anterior and posterior position?
frontal, coronal plane
What does anterior and posterior mean? Draw shapes and identify which is in the anterior/posterior position
anterior means how much more in front are you. posterior -refers to the back position. so if I have x y | z x is anterior to y and z y is anterior to z but posterior to x | is the midsagittal plane
Describe what is the medial and lateral position- which plane do we evaluate this?
Medial means closer to the mid-sagittal line, and lateral means further from the mid-sagittal line.
mid-saggital plane is used as reference
What is superior and inferior. Which plane do we use as reference?
Superior: above the organ of reference
Inferior: below the organ of reference
Transverse plane
What does proximal / distal mean or refer to
proximal means closer to the joint and distal means further from the joints. the joints are used as reference
What does flexion and extension refer to
Flexion refers to where the angle of the joint decreases, whereas extension refers to when the angle of the joint increases
What does abduction and adduction mean?
Abduction refers to moving laterally away from the mid saggital plane. adduction is moving more medially towards the mid-sagittal plane.
What is lateral and medial rotation?
Lateral rotation involves rotating away from the mid-sagittal plane and medial rotation is rotating towards the mid-sagittal plane
What is supination and pronation
supination: palm’s facing you
pronation: palm’s not facing you ( facing down)
* supination and pronation is only valid for the forearm
What is the dorsi and plantar flexion
The dorsi flexion when toes are brought closer to the shin. the plantar flexion when the toes are brought further away from the shin.
** only present in the ankles
What is the anatomical/ latin name for the head
cephalic
What are the components of the cephalic
- cranial/ skull
2. facial/face
What is the anatomical/ latin name for the ear
otic
What is the anatomical/ latin name for the cheek
buccal
What is the anatomical/ latin name for the neck
cervical
