Module 3 Anatomy & Injury Prevention Flashcards
What is Anatomical Planes?
Standing in an Upright position, arms by the side and palms facing forward
What are the 3 imaginary planes the body can be divided into from the anatomical position?
Transverse plane
Sagittal plane
Frontal plane
Directions and positions of body structures
Towards the back : ________________________
a) Distal
b) Lateral
c) Posterior (Dorsal)
C Posterior (Dosal)
PROXIMAL is used to describe which positions of body structure?
a) Away from the trunk or centre of the body
b) Closer to the trunk or centre of the body
c) Away from the mid line of the body
d) Closer to the surface of the body
B Closer to the trunk or centre of the body
Towards the mid line of the body can be described by the term:
a) Anterior
b) Posterior
c) Medial
d) Lateral
C Medial
In the upright position, the Transverse Plane is where the body is _____________________
divided into upper (superior) and lower ( inferior) parts. Rotation happens along this plane
In the upright position, the Sagittal Plane is where the body is _____________________
divided into left and right halves. The midline runs down the cenrre of the body, dividing the body in two symmetrical halves. The action of flexion and extension occur along this plane
In the Frontal plane, which of these actions happens along this plane:
a) Rotation
b) Abduction and Adduction
c) Flexion and Extension
B Abduction and Adduction
True or False?
Abduction is movement AWAY from the centre line
True
Explain the movement term: Adduction
Movement towards or across the centre line to the other side of the body
Flexion
Extension
Medial rotation
Lateral rotation
Supination of forearm
