what is the plane that divides into UNEQUAL right and left halves
sagittal
what is the plane that divides the body into dorsal (posterior) and ventral (anterior) sections

what joints only move in one plane
elbow, digits (flex and extend)
what joints flex, extend, abduct, adduct
Knuckles, shoulder

what is the plane CT scans are commonly generated in?
axial/transverse/horizontal
what is the x-axis movement?
sagittal (think to cross the t’s would make an x)

inferior
what is the anatomical term for away from the midline
lateral
what is the anatomical term for pertaining to body wall
parietal
what is the anatomical term for pertaining to internal organs
visceral
what is the anatomical term for towards the head/brain
rostral (associated with CNS)
“you create a roster in your head”

Caudal (associated with CNS)
what is the anatomical term for towards surface of body
external/superficial
what is the anatomical term for away from surface of body

proximal
what is the anatomical term for towards END of limb
distal
what is the anatomical term for decreasing an angle
flexion
what is the anatomical term for increasing an angle
extension
what is the anatomical term for movement towards the body/midline
adduction (think “im adding” in)
what is the anatomical term for away from the body/midline
abduction (think “im abducting the girl away from her parents”)
what is the anatomical term for internal rotation
medial rotation
what is the anatomical term for lateral rotation
external rotation
what is the anatomical term for circular motion? combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction
circumduction
what movements can the spine do?
extension/flexion, rotation, lateral bending (NO adduction or abduction)
what is more functional, pronation or supination?
pronation (typing, writing, etc)
what is the most mobile AND unstable joint in the body
shoulder
most common dislocation

opposition
what is the anatomical term for return thumb to anatomical position after opposition
reposition
what is the anatomical term for rotation of forearm, palm faces posteriorly
pronation
what is the anatomical term for rotation of forearm, palm faces anteriorly (NORMAL anatomical position)
supination
what is the anatomical term for elevation of medial side of sole
inversion (think cleft foot, moving into the body)
what is the anatomical term for elevation of lateral side of sole
eversion
is the thumb a finger
technically NO
metacarpals however are 1-5
