Soc21- Planes And Axes Of Movements

Question 1

What is the Sagittal plane?

Answer 1

The Sagittal plane divides the body from top to bottom,(vertically),resulting in a left and right side-flexion and extension

Question 2

What is the Frontal plane?

Answer 2

The Frontal Plane also divides the body from top to bottom(vertically), but front and back sections-adduction and abduction

Question 3

What is The Transverse Plane?

Answer 3

The Transverse plane divides the body across the middle(horizontally),giving a top section and a bottom section-rotation

Question 4

What is the Frontal axis?

Answer 4

The Frontal axis runs from side to side,formed by the intersection of the frontal and transverse planes-allows flexion and extension

Question 5

What is the Sagittal axis?

Answer 5

The Sagittal axis runs from side to side,formed by the intersection of the Sagittal and transverse planes-allows abduction and adduction

Question 6

What is the vertical axis?

Answer 6

The Vertical axis runs from top to bottom,formed by the intersection of the sagittal and frontal plane-allows rotation of body in upright position

Question 7

What does a Front somersault use?

Answer 7

Sagittal Plane(flex and ext)=Front Axis(flex and ext)-Front Somersault

Question 8

What does a cartwheel use?

Answer 8

Frontal Plane(abd and add)= Sagittal Axis(abd and add)- Cartwheel

Question 9

What does a trampoline use?

Answer 9

Transverse Plane(rotation)=Vertical Axis(rotation)- Trampoline twist
