- Proximal?
2. Distal?
- Towards the origin (nearer to the trunk)
2. Away from the origin (further from the trunk)
The arms are proximal to the hands is an example of what type of directional term?
Proximal
The hands are distal to the arms, is what kind of directional term?
Distal
- Supine position?
2. Prone position?
- A person lying on his back
2. A person lying face down
- Superior?
2. Inferior?
- Nearer to the head
2. Nearer to the feet
The head is _____ to the thorax
Superior
The stomach is _______ to the heart
Inferior
- Anterior?
2. Posterior?
- Nearer to the front
2. Nearer to the back
Quadriceps are _______ to the hamstrings
Anterior
Hamstrings are ________ to the quadriceps
Posterior
- Superficial?
2. Deep?
- Nearer to the surface of the body
2. Farther from the surface of the body
Which is more superficial? Muscle or skin?
Skin
Which lies deeper? Heart or ribs?
Heart
- Medial?
2. Lateral?
- Nearer to the median plane
2. Farther from the middle of the body
The nose is ____ to the eyes, but the eyes are _____ to the nose
Medial
Lateral
Median or Sagittal plane
Vertical plane that bisects the body into right and left halves
Frontal plane (coronal)
- Divides the body into front and back halves
- Does adduction and abduction
Transverse plane (horizontal plane)
- Divides body into upper and lower halves
- Does rotation (circles, rotation)
- Flexion?
- Extension?
They happen in which plane?
- Reduces the angle between two bones at a joint (closing a joint)
- Increases the angle between two bones at a joint (opening a joint)
Both happen in the sagittal plane
- Abduction?
- Adduction?
They happen in which plane?
- Movement away from the body
- Movement towards the body
Both happen in the frontal plane
Circumduction?
- The combination of flexion-extension movements, with adduction-abduction movements
- A cone of movement occurs, but there is no rotation
tracing a circle in the air with your finger while the rest of your hand doesnt move is what type of movement?
Circumduction
Define rotation?
What are the two types?
- Bones rotate along its longitudinal axis
1. Internal (medial) - inwards rotation
2. External (lateral) - rotation back to original position
- Supination?
2. Pronation?
- Describes movement relative to the forearm and hand; hand is moved so you can see the palm (hold a bowl)
- Palm is moved to face anteriorly - Palm is facing downwards
- palm is moved to face posteriorly
