planes and axes

Question 1

describe the coronal plane

Answer 1

also known as the frontal plane it divides the body to ventral and dorsal

Question 2

describe the sagittal plane

Answer 2

Divides the body left and right. Its perpendicular to the frontal and makes a 90 degree angle

Question 3

describe the transverse plane

Answer 3

also known as the horizontal plane it divides the body to proximal and distal and cranial and caudal

Question 4

what is the location terminology for the frontal/coronal plane

Answer 4

cranial/caudal, medial/lateral and not ventral and dorsal

Question 5

what is the location terminology for the sagittal plane

Answer 5

cranial/caudal, ventral/dorsal and not medial and not medial and lateral

Question 6

what is the location terminology for the transverse/ horizontal plane

Answer 6

ventral/dorsal, medial/ lateral and not cranial and caudal

Question 7

what are other names for the frontal axes

Answer 7

ML axis, Transverse axis

Question 8

describe the location of the sagittal axis

Answer 8

it crosses between the sagittal plane and is perpendicular to the frontal plane

Question 9

describe the location of the vertical/longitudinal axis

Answer 9

is perpendicular to the transverse plane

Question 10

what are the movements that happen on the sagittal plane on the transverse/frontal axis

Answer 10

flexion , extension, dorsiflexion, plantarflexion (ankle) dorsiflexion, palmar flexion (wrist/hand) protraction, retraction

Question 11

what are the movements that happen on the frontal plane on the sagittal axis

Answer 11

abduction. adduction, lateral flexion(spine)

Question 12

what are the movements that happen on the transverse plane on the longitudinal/vertical axis

Answer 12

internal, external rotation (spine), pronation, supination (elbow)
