Introduction to Gross Anatomy Flashcards
(93 cards)
This is the study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Anatomy
Latin: Tem- Nein
Means: To Cut
Latin: Anatomia
Dissection
what is the correct anatomical position
Standing Erect
- eyes and face forward
- arms at side faicing forward
- feet pointing forward
How many imaginary anatomical planes are there
4 anatomical planes
Anatomical Plane is
passing through the body
- divides body left and right
- middle and equally
Medial saggital plane
Anatomical Plane that
- divides body into 2 but not equally
- parallel to the medial S. plane
Paramedial Sagittal Plane
Anatomical Plane that
- divides body into anterior and posterior
- right angle with the medial plane
Frontal/ Coronal Plane
Anatomical Plane that
- divides the body superior and inferior parts
- right angle with medial and frontal planes
- like holding food tray
Axial plane / horizontal / transverse
how manyy anatomical axes are there
3
what are the anatomical axes
- X
- Y
- Z
these are the pairing with anatomical planes
Anatomical axe
Anatomical Axe
- pairs with Axial horizontal plane (superior and Inferior)
- vertical
Y axe
Anatomical axe
- pairs with sagittal plane (left & right)
-
X axis
Anatomical axe
- its anteroposterior
- pairs with frontal/coronal
-
Z axis
This movement occurs at the Saggital plane at the x axis
Flexion and extension
This is the decrease in angle of the muscle
- flex upward
Flexion
this is the release of tension of the muscle
- increase in angle
Extension
this is going beyond the neutral position
Hyper extension
these are the movements pertaining to angkle joint
- occurs in the x axis and saggital plane
Plantar and Dorsiflexion
this movement bends the foot towards the floor
Plantar
this movement picks up the foot off the floor and towards upward
Dorsiflexion movement
this movement occurs in the z axis and coronal plane
Adduction and abduction
movement moving away from the medial plane
Abduction
