Soc 21- Planes And Axes Of Movements

Question 1

What are planes?

Answer 1

-planes are theoritical divisions that divide the human body into sections

Defenition:an imaginary flat surface that divides the body into sections

Question 2

What are sagittal plane? Movements? Defenition? And example?

Answer 2

The sagittal plane divides the body in left to right, insulting in a left side and a right side.

Movements-flex and extension(forwards and backwards)

Defenition:an imaginary line dividing the body vertically into left and right side

Example:a gymanstics athlete performing a somersault

Question 3

What are frontal plane?movement?defenition?example?

Answer 3

The frontal plane divides the body in front to back, resulting in a front and back

Movements-adduction and abduction (sidewards)

Defenition:an imaginary line dividing the body vertically from front to back

Example:a gymnastics athlete perfoming a cartwheel

Question 4

What are transverse planes? Moevemnt? Defenition? Example?

Answer 4

The tranverse plane divides the body across the middle giving a top and bottom section.

Movement: rotation

Defenition: an imaginary line dividing the body horizontally from top to bottom

Example: a trampolinist perfoming a twist

Question 5

What are axes and defenition?

Answer 5

Our joints rotate around axes. And these axes allow movements to takenplace in one of the planes.

Defenition: an imaginary straught lune around which something turns

Question 6

What is frontal axis? Movement? Defenition? And what plane does it link too?

Answer 6

Frontal axis from side to side

Movement: flexion and extension (somersault)

Defenition: imaginary line passing horizontally through the body from left to right,allows flexion and extension

Sagittal plane—-frontal axis

Question 7

What is sagittal axis?movement?defenition?what plane does it link too?

Answer 7

Sagittal xis runs from front to back

Movement: aduuction and abduction (cartwheel)

Defenition: imaginary line passing horizontally through the body from front to back,allows adduction and abduction

Frontal plane—–sagittal axis

Question 8

What is vertical axis?movement?defenition?what plane does it link too?

Answer 8

Vertical axis runs from top to bottom

Movement: rotation (twist on trampoline)

Defenition: imaginary line passing veryically through the body, allows rotation of the body in an upright position

Transverse plane—–vertical axis
