Terminology

Question 1

What is a feedback loop

Answer 1

• the controlled variable moves too far from the set point and a response from the body attempt to move the variable back to ‘normal’
• responding to a change that’s happend

Question 2

what is a feedforward loop

Answer 2

• responding to an anticipated change

Question 3

what is the anatomical position (show what it is)

Answer 3

• upright
• face forwards
• feet together
• palms face forwards
  remains the same regardless of movement

Question 4

what is the terms of direction (forward and backward)

Answer 4

• Anterior/Ventral (in front)

- Posterior/Dorsal (behind)

Question 5

What are the terms of direction for above/top and below/bottom
(give examples)

Answer 5

• Superior (closer to the top)
  Her head is superior to her shoulders
• Inferior (closer to the bottom)
  Her feet is inferior to her knees
• Proximal (for limbs, closer to the attachment)
  Her shoulder is proximal to her elbow
• Distal (for limbs, further away to attachment)
  Her wrist is distal to her shoulder

Question 6

what is the word the describes when a body part is closer and further away from the middle.
Give examples

Answer 6

Medial = closer to middle
- Her hips are medial to her hands

Lateral = further from middle
- Her hands are lateral to her hips

Question 7

What are the internal terminologies

Answer 7

Deep - further from the surface
- the organs are deep to the skin

Superficial - closer to the surface
- the skin is superficial to the organs

Question 8

what are the names of the 3 different planes

- also show

Answer 8

• Coronal = divides the body into anterior and posterior sections
• Sagittal = divides the body into left and right pieces
• Transverse = divides the body into superior and inferior sections

Question 9

Describe and show what flexion and extension is

Answer 9

flexion =

• decreases angle
• fleshy parts of limb brought closer together

extension =
- increases angle

Question 10

Describe and show what dorsiflexion and plantarflexion is

Answer 10

dorsiflexion =

• special movement at the ankle
• toes brought up towards face

plantarflexion

• special movement at the ankle
• tows pointing to the ground

Question 11

what is lateral flexion

Answer 11

• is when your vertebral column bends to the side

Question 12

what is opposition

Answer 12

• it is the movement of your thumb

Question 13

what is protraction and retraction

Answer 13

protraction = moving a body part anteriorly in the horizontal plane

retraction = the reverse movement of protraction - moving backwards

Question 14

Describe and show what abduction and adduction is

Answer 14

abduction = movement at a joint that moves the limb away from the body

adduction = movement at a join that moves the limb towards the body

Question 15

what are the transverse plane movements

Answer 15

• rotation

- supination/pronation

Question 16

what are the coronal movements

Answer 16

• abduction/adduction

- inversion/eversion

Question 17

what are the sagittal movements

Answer 17

• flexion/extension

- plantarflexion/dorsiflexion

Question 18

describe and show what circumduction is

Answer 18

• combination of 4 movements
• flexion - abduction - extension - adduction
• NO ROTATION

Question 19

Describe what pronation and supination is

Answer 19

pronation = palm faces posterior, forearm bones are crossed 
supination = palm faces anterior, forearm bones are parallel

Question 20

Describe and how what inversion and eversion is

Answer 20

both at your feet
inversion = sole of your foot faces towards midline
eversion = sole of foot faces away from midline
