Chapter 1 Flashcards
Define “Intermediate”
In between a superficial and a deep structure
eg. muscle
Define “Adduction”
Moving toward the median plane
What is this?
Anatomical Position
What axis is number 1?
Frontal
“Supination”
Movement of the forearm and hand
Latera rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces anteriorly
Define “Palm”
- Flat surface of the hand
- Does not include thumb and fingers
Define “Elevation”
- Movement in the frontal plane
- raises or moves a part of the body SUPERIORLY
What plane is this?
Median / Sagittal Plane
Define “Sole”
Inferior / Bottom of the foot
What two main parts make up the skeletal system?
Axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton
“Eversion”
Turning the sole of the foot outward
Define “Protrusion”
Move the jaw anteriorly
Define “Proximal”
closer to the trunk of the body
Define “Medial”
used to indicate that a structure is near or nerarer to the median plane of the body
Define “Distal”
further from the trunk of the body
The skeletal system is composed of…
Bones and Cartilage
Appendicular skeleton
limbs
Define “Dorsum”
Superior / Dorsal surface of the foot and hand
(back of the hand)
Define “Abduction”
Moving away from median plane
(remember getting abducted-point to the sky)
Define “Inferior”
a structure that is nearer the soles of the feet
eg. foot is inferior to the hand
Define “Deep”
further from the surface
eg. bone
Retraction
Posterior movement of the shoulder
The articular system is composed of…
Joints & Ligaments
Define “Superior”
a structure that is nearer the vertex
eg. upper limb is superior to the lower limb
