Answer 1

head and eyes looking fwd, mouth closed, jaw relaxed, palms facing forward, thumbs away from body, feet parallel but slightly apart and flat on floor

Question 2

cranial is another word for

Answer 2

superior

Question 3

caudal is another word for

Answer 3

inferior

Question 4

ventral is another word for

Answer 4

anterior

Question 5

dorsal is another word for

Answer 5

posterior

Question 6

the coronal (or frontal) plane divides the body into

Answer 6

anterior and posterior

Question 7

sagittal plane cuts the body into

Answer 7

left and right

Question 8

transverse plane cuts the body into

Answer 8

superior and inferior

Question 9

whats the difference bn axial and appendicular skeleton

Answer 9

axial has the ribs, sternum, skull, spine while

appendicular has the upper and lower extremities

Question 10

from proximal to distal, list the bone divisions in the upper extremity and lower
-hint: 3 for each

Answer 10

upper: arm –> forearm –> hand
lower: thigh –> leg –> foot

Question 11

tiny holes aka____ are where what travels through

Answer 11

foramen, where vessels or nerves travel through bone

Question 12

the site where two skeletal elements come together

Hint: 2 names

Answer 12

joints aka articulations

Question 13

what’s the anatomical difference between synovial joints and solid joints?

Answer 13

synovial joints have cartilage on each end that is also surrounded by a joint cavity
solid has the 2 bones fused by CT

Question 14

which type of joint allows for more movement/mobility? synovial or solid

Answer 14

synovial

Question 15

what does the inner synovial membrane produce

Answer 15

synovial fluid that provides lubrication for the 2 bones to move against each other w little friction

Question 16

t/f: movement occurs only at the insertion point

Answer 16

F: greater degree of movement usually happens at the insertion bt movement happens at origin too

Question 17

in what direction does movement occur

Answer 17

direction of the muscle fibers

Question 18

what is the purpose of muscles/tendons crossing a joint

Answer 18

to produce direct or indirect motion

Question 19

the transverse (or horizontal) plane occurs around what axis

Answer 19

longitudinal axis (superior-inferior)

Question 20

along what axis does frontal plane motion occur

Answer 20

anterior-posterior axis

Question 21

sagittal plane motion is along what axis

Answer 21

medio-lateral axis

Question 22

give examples of movement along each plane

Answer 22

horizontal plane 
-internal/external rotation
-pronation/supination
frontal plane 
-abduction
-adduction
-eversion/inversion
sagittal plane
-flexion
-extension

Question 23

circumduction combines what motions

Answer 23

flexion/extension and abduction/adduction

Question 24

what movements are special to the shoulder/ scapulothoracic joint *
*also happen at the mandible

Answer 24

elevation/depression and protraction/retraction

Question 25

what movement of the elbow joint and forearm happens in the horizontal plane

Answer 25

pronation and supination

Question 26

which joint(s) in the lower extremity produce abduction and adduction

Answer 26

hip joint

NOT the knee or ankle

Question 27

what are the special names for the motions produced in the ankle joint

Answer 27

sagittal - dorsiflexion(toes point up) / plantar flexion (toes down)
frontal - eversion and inversion
