Lecture 1: Into to Anatomy

Question 1

The ___ plane is the vertical plane that passes
longitudinally through the body dividing it into equal right
and left halves. It is also known as the ____ plane.

Answer 1

median; midsagittal

Question 2

____ planes are vertical planes that pass through the
body parallel to the median plane, dividing it into unequal
right and left halves (______)

Answer 2

Sagittal
(parasagittal planes)

Question 3

________ are vertical planes that pass
through the body at right angles to the median plane,
dividing the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions.

Answer 3

Coronal (frontal) planes

Question 4

_______ planes pass through the body at right angles to the median and
coronal planes, dividing it into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions.

Answer 4

Horizontal (transverse)

Question 5

____ structures that are closer to the surface while ___ structures are farther from the
surface

Answer 5

Superficial ; Deep

Question 6

____ structures that are closer to the median plane; ____structures are farther from the
median plane

Answer 6

medial ; lateral

Question 7

closer to the back

Answer 7

Anterior (ventral); Posterior (dorsal)

Question 8

_____ structures that are closer to the head; _____ structures are
closer to the feet

Answer 8

Superior (cranial) ; Inferior (caudal)

Question 9

____ structures that are closer to the point of origin or the trunk; ____ indicates farther
from the origin or trunk

Answer 9

Proximal ; Distal

Question 10

____ is a bending action that decreases the
angle between two body parts; ____ is a
straightening action that increases the angle
between two body parts.

Answer 10

Flexion ; Extension

Question 11

Flexion and
Extensions occur in the ____planes.

Answer 11

Sagittal

Question 12

____ moving a body part away from
the median axis in the coronal plane;
____ is moving a body part closer to the
median plane. These movements occur in the
___ plane.

Answer 12

Abduction ; Adduction ; coronal

Question 13

___ is turning or revolving a part of the body about its longitudinal axis

Answer 13

Rotation

Question 14

_____ rotation brings the anterior surface of a limb closer to the median plane; _____rotation takes the anterior surface away from the median plane.

Answer 14

Medial (internal)
Lateral (external)

Question 15

_____ is rotation of the hand and forearm about
its longitudinal axis so that that palm faces anteriorly (helpful hint –think how you could
carry a bowl of soup);

Answer 15

Supination

Question 16

____ involves rotation of the hand and forearm so that the palm
faces posteriorly.

Answer 16

Pronation

Question 17

of the foot towards the midline (raising the
medial side of the foot)

Answer 18

Eversion ; Inversion
