Soc 21-Planes And Axes Of Movments Flashcards
What are 3 different planes used to describe movement in the body
Frontal Plane
Sagittal Plane
Transverse Plane
Planes
An imaginary flat surface that divides into the body sections
Sagittal Plane
An imaginary line diving the body vertically into left and right sides
Frontal Plane
An imaginary line dividing the body vertiacally from front to back
What are the Sagittal Plane Movements
Flexion and extention (forwards and backwards)
A sporting example of Sagittal Plane being used
A gymnast doing performing a somersault
Frontal Plane movements
Adduction and Abdution (sidewards)
A sporting example of the Frontal plane being used
A gymnast performing a cartwheel
Transverse Plane
An imaginary line dividing the body horizontally from top to Bottom
Transverse Plane movements
Rotation
A sporting example where the Transverse Plane is being used
A gymnast doing a twist on a trampoline
What do Planes do to the human body
That divide the human body into sections
What sides does the Sagittal Plane divide the body into
Left to right resulting in a left side and a right side
What direction does the Frontal Plane make the body divide into
Divides the body in front to back, resulting in a front and back
What sections does the Transverse Plane make the body divide into
Divides the body across the middle,giving a top and a bottom section
Axes
An imaginary straight line around which something turns
What side does the frontal axis run from
Side to side
What is the frontal axis movement
Flexion and extention
Frontal axis
Imaginary line passing horizontally through the body from left to right, allows flexion and extention
What direction does the Sagittal axis run from
Front to Back
What is the Sagittal axis movement
Adduction and Abduction
Sagittal axis movement
Imginary line passing horizontally through the body from front to back, allows adduction and abdcution
What diretion does the vertical axis run from
Top to bottom
What is the vertical axis movement
Rotation
Vertical axis
Imaginary line passing vertically through the body allows rotation of the body in an upright position
What plane and axis does a somersault use
Sagittal Plane/ frontal Axis
What Plane and axis does a Cartwheel use
Frontal Plane/Sagittal Axis
What plane and axis does a trampoline twist use
Transverse plane/Vertical axis
