Terminology Flashcards
Movement in the coronal plane away from the midline is called…
Abduction
Adduction is movement………….. in the ……… plane
towards the midline , coronal
Where is something that is Ventral
on the front
Where is something that is anterior?
Towards the front
Where is something that is Lateral
Further from the middle of body
Transverse plane divides the body into what sections?
Top/ bottom
Circumduction is…
Movement is the sagittal and coronal plane in a circle with no rotation
external rotation is called….
lateral rotation
Transverse movement is….
rotational movement
What sections does the coronal plane divide the body into?
Anterior/ posterior
Name 4 variables controlled by homeostasis
- Temperature
- Ion concentration
- Blood glucose concentration
- Blood pressure/ volume
Where is something that is Proximal?
Closer to the limb attachment
What is dorsiflexion?
flexion at ankle joint- flexing foot
Where is something that is Distal?
Further from the limb attachment
Where is something that is Inferior
Closer to the bottom
movement of the foot so the sole faces towards midline is called….
inversion
Movement of the forearm to the palm faces posterior is called
pronation
Where is something that is Deep?
Further from the surface
Pointing the foot is called…
plantarflexion
Supination is…
Movement of the forearm so the palm faces anterior
What movement decreases the angle of parts around a joint
flexion
Where is something that is Superficial?
Closer to surface
Where is something that is Dorsal
On the back
What is Homeostasis?
Regulatory mechanisms to ensure the maintenance of the internal environment at the ideal conditions, despite external conditions
What is extension
movement that increases the angle of parts around a joint
What is a feedback loop
An action that occurs when the controlled variable moves too far from the set point which returns it to normal e.g. shivering when cold
Where is something that is Posterior
Towards the back
Medial rotation is
internal rotation
Rotation is…
Movement around the long axis of a joint
side to side movement is…
coronal
eversion is…
movement of the foot so the sole faces away from midline
Sagittal movement is…
forwards and backwards movement
Where is something that is superior
closer to the top
What plane divides body into left/ right sections?
Sagittal
Where is something that is Medial?
toward the middle of body
