Q

What does external mean?

A

further from the centre of body/organ

27
Q

What does internal mean?

A

nearer to the centre of the body/organ

28
Q

What does it mean when structures are described as major and minor?

A

These are relatively larger and smaller structures with the same names.

29
Q

What does middle mean?

A

anything found between anterior and posterior is middle

30
Q

What does superior cranial/rostral mean?

A

Nearer to the top of the head

Cranial and Rostral are used when talking about neurology.

31
Q

What does inferior/caudal mean?

A

Nearer to the soles of the feet

32
Q

What are 4 examples of dorsal surfaces?

A

Posterior surface of wrist
Posterior surface of hand
Posterior surface of tongue
Superior surface of foot

33
Q

What are 4 examples of opposite of dorsal surfaces?

A 
Volar = anterior surface of wrist
Palmar = anterior surface of hand
Ventral = anterior surface of tongue
Plantar = inferior surface of foot
34
Q

What are dorsal surfaces?

A

Dorsal generally refers to a surface of something that protrudes posterially from the body

35
Q

What does unilateral mean?

A

A structure is normally found only on one side of the body e.g. appendix

36
Q

What does bilateral mean?

A

These are normally paired structures, a right and a left structure e.g. lungs

37
Q

What does midline mean?

A

This is a single structure located at (or near) the midline/median plane e.g.sternum, nose, umbilical

38
Q

What does ipsilateral mean?

A

This structure lies on the same side of the body as the other structure/location it is being compared to e.g. right arm and right leg

39
Q

What does contralateral mean?

A

This structure lies on the opposite side of the body to the other structure/location it is being compared to e.g. right arm and left leg

40
Q

What does flexion mean?

A

This means decreasing the angle between the bones at a joint

All anterior movements at joints superior to the knee joint are flexions (back, neck, shoulder)

41
Q

What does extension mean?

A

This is increasing the angle between the bones at a joint

All anterior movements inferior to the knee joint are extensions (knee, ankle, toes)

42
Q

What does abduction mean?

A

movement away from the medial plane

43
Q

What does adduction mean?

A

movement towards the median plane

44
Q

What does internal/medial rotation mean?

A

Anterior surface of a limb rotates towards the medium plane

45
Q

What does external/lateral rotation mean

A

Anterior surface of a limb rotates away from the median plane

46
Q

What does circumduction mean?

A

circular motion at a joint

47
Q

What does eversion mean?

A

The sole of the foot rotates away from the median plane such that the sole faces laterally

48
Q

What does inversion mean?

A

The sole of the foot rotates towards the median plane such that the sole faces medially.

49
Q

What does pronation mean?

A

Anterior surface of the forearm rotates such that the palm of the hand faces posteriorly).
Palm turns posteriorly from anatomical position (this is an internal rotation).

50
Q

What does supination mean?

A

The forearm rotates from the pronated position back into the anatomical position.
The forearm is in a supinated orientation while in the anatomical position.

51
Q

What does semi-prone mean?

A

This is a term commonly used to describe position of forearm and hand midway between the supine and prone positions.

52
Q

What is abduction of the thumb?

A

taking the thumb anteriorly away from palm

53
Q

What is extension of the thumb?

A

taking thumb laterally away from palm.

54
Q

What is opposition of the thumb?

A

touching each finger with the thumb

55
Q

What is adduction of the thumb?

A

“Adding” thumb back to palm after abduction

56
Q

What is flexion of the thumb?

A

folding thumb across palm

57
Q

What is the reposition of the thumb?

A

Reposition of thumb after opposition with digits

58
Q

What is lateral flexion?

A

lateral bending

59
Q

What is rotation?

A

Rotation of had and neck. Rotation of upper trunk, neck and head.

60
Q

What is elevation?

A

Elevation is a superior movement e.g. shrugging shoulders

61
Q

What is depression?

A

Depression is an inferior movement e.g. relaxing shoulders

62
Q

What is protrusion and retrusion?

A

e.g. moving jaw in and out

63
Q

What is protraction and retraction?

A

Protraction is an anterior movement
Retraction is a posterior movement
Protraction and retraction of scapula on thoratic wall
