inside
Frontal Plane
divides body into front and back sections
Saggital Plane
divides body into left and right sections
Transverse Plane
divides body into top and bottom sections
Longitudinal Axis
Extends from head to toe (Rotation- shawarma spin)
Horizontal Axis
extends from one side of body to another (bending forword and backward at hip)
Antero-posterior Axis
Extends from front to back (cartwheel)

Anterior-Posterior
Flexion
bending joint to decrease angle between two bones
Extension
straightening joint to increase angle between two bones
Abduction
movement away from median (away from body)
Adduction
movement towards media (towards body)
Horizontal Adduction
shoulder moves posteriorly (move arms towards back)
