Human anatomy |
the study of the structures of the human body and their relations to each other |
|
|
Anatomy |
the branch of science that focuses on the structure or morphology of the body
|
|
|
Anatomical position
|
* standing erect
* facing forward * arms hanging at sides * palms facing forward with thumbs out * legs straight * heels, feet and toes parallel to each other |
|
|
Plane (of the body)
|
Imaginary surfaces dividing the body for further identification of particular areas. They describe different movements/actions.
|
|
|
sagittal
|
*Runs front to back
*Divides the body into left and right |
|
|
Midsagittal
|
a vertical plane that bisects the body into right and left halves
|
Aka: median plane
|
|
Frontal plane
|
*runs left to right
*divides body into front and back |
|
|
coronal plane
|
a vertical plane that bisects the body into front and back
|
AKA: frontal plane
|
|
Transverse plane
|
*divides body into top and bottom
|
|
|
Horizontal plane (Define)
|
a horizontal line that divides the body into top and bottom
|
|
|
Centre of Gravity |
the point at which the medial, frontal and transverse planes intersect |
|
|
Lateral vs Medial: Give an example. |
ex. ears are lateral to cheeks, cheeks are medial to ears |
|
|
Distal vs Proximal: Give an example. |
ex. with respect to the trunk, hands are distal to arms, and arms are proximal to hands |
|
|
Anterior vs Posterior: Give an example. |
ex. lips are anterior to teeth, teeth are posterior to lips |
|
|
Superior vs Inferior: Give an example. |
ex. lips are superior to chin, chin is inferior to lips |
|
|
Supine (Define + example) |
lying on back ex. when performing bench press |
|
|
Prone (define + example) |
lying face down ex. when performing a push-up |
|
|
Superior |
above
|
|
|
Inferior |
below |
|
|
Anterior |
in front of body |
|
|
Posterior |
behind/back of body |
|
|
Distal |
further from a specified region |
|
|
Proximal |
closer to a specified region |
|
|
Lateral |
away from midline of body |
|
|
Medial |
towards midline of body |
|
|
3 Planes of the body
|
Saggital, frontal and transverse
|
|
|
"Ana-," and "-tomy" (Define) |
* "Ana" = seperate, apart from
|
|
|
Flexion
|
Reduces the angle between 2 bones and a joint
|
|
|
Extension |
Increases the angle between 2 bones at a joint |
|
|
Dorsiflexion |
Bringing the top of the foot toward the lower leg/shin |
|
|
Plantar flexion |
"Planting" the foot |
|
|
Abduction |
|
Abduct = take away |
|
Adduction |
Moving a segment towards the midline of the body |
Adduct = add |
|
Circumduction |
a cone of movement that doesn't include any rotation; occurs when flexion-extension movements are combined with abduction-adduction movements |
|
|
Rotation
|
The turning of a bone on its longitudinal axis
|
|
|
Medial Rotation |
rotation towards the midline |
|
|
Lateral Rotation |
rotation away from the midline |
|
|
Pronation |
when the palm is moved to face posteriorly |
|
|
Supination |
when the palm is moved to face anteriorly |
You hold a bowl of soup |
|
Inversion |
when the sole is turned inward |
As when you "go-over" or "roll-over" your ankle -Pinky toe down |
|
Eversion |
when the sole is turned outward or away from the median plane of the body |
Pinky toe up |
