Soc 21- Planes And Axes

Question 1

Sagittal plane

Answer 1

Divides the body from left to right - flexion and extension

Question 2

Frontal plane

Answer 2

Divides the body from front to back - abduction adduction

Question 3

Tranverse plane

Answer 3

divides the body across the middle (horizontally),
giving a top section (also known as ‘superior’) and a bottom section (‘inferior) - rotation

Question 4

Frontal axis

Answer 4

runs from side to side - this allows flexion and extension)

Question 5

Saggital axis

Answer 5

runs from front to back - allows abduction and adduction)

Question 6

Vertical axis

Answer 6

runs from top to bottom, - allows rotation of the body in an upright position)

Question 7

• Front Somersault

Answer 7

Saggital Plane (flex and ext) = Frontal Axis (flex and ext)

Question 8

Cartwheel

Answer 8

Frontal Plane (abd and add) = Saggital Axis (abd and add)

Question 9

Trampoline twist

Answer 9

Transverse Plane (rotation) = Vertical Axis (rotation)
