Module One, Lecture Two

Question 1

What is the Definition of Homeostasis?

Answer 1

The body maintains a stable internal environment, or balance, in response to external conditions

Question 2

Describe the process of Maintaining Homeostasis…

Answer 2

When a controlled variable moves too far from the set point, responses from the body attempt to move the variable back to normal ( e.g. Shivering to create warmth )

Question 3

Describe the Anatomical Position…

Answer 3

Body is standing upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides, palms facing forward, feet flat on the floor also facing forward

Question 4

Define Anterior….

Answer 4

The front or direction toward the front of the body

Question 5

Define Posterior…

Answer 5

The back or direction toward the back of the body

Question 6

Define Superior…

Answer 6

A position above or higher than another part of the body

Question 7

Define Inferior…

Answer 7

A position below or lower than another part of the body

Question 8

Define Medial…

Answer 8

The middle or direction toward the middle of the body

Question 9

Define Lateral…

Answer 9

The side or direction toward the side of the body

Question 10

Define Proximal…

Answer 10

A position in a limb that is nearer the point of attachment or trunk of the body

Question 11

Define Distal…

Answer 11

A position in a limb that is farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body

Question 12

Define Deep…

Answer 12

A position farther from the surface of the body

Question 13

Define Superficial…

Answer 13

A position closer to the surface of the body

Question 14

What are the Divisions of the Body? ( 3 )

Answer 14

1. Coronal
2. Sagital
   3.Transverse

Question 15

What are the movements demonstrated in the Coronal Plane? ( 6 )

Answer 15

1. Abduction
2. Adduction
3. Elevation
4. Depression
5. Inversion
6. Eversion

Question 16

Describe the Coronal Plane… ( Bread Loaf )

Answer 16

Frontal Plane which separates the front ( anterior ) and back ( posterior ) of the body. Movements that occur are lateral ( side-to-side )

Question 17

Describe the Sagittal Plane… ( Hotdog Bun )

Answer 17

Longitudinal place, divides the body into left and right halves. Movements that occur are forward and backwards

Question 18

What are the movements demonstrated in the Sagittal Plane? ( 4 )

Answer 18

1. Flexion ( Decrease angle at joint )
2. Extension ( Increase angle at joint )
3. Dorsiflexion
4. Plantar Flexion

Question 19

Describe the Transverse Plane… ( Bagel )

Answer 19

Axial pane, divides the body into upper ( superior ) and lower ( inferior ) halves. Movements that occur involve rotation or horizontal movement

Question 20

What are the movements demonstrated in the Transverse Plane? ( 3 )

Answer 20

1. Rotation ( Limb moves around its vertical axis )
2. Horizontal Abduction ( moving away from midline, 90-degree angle in front of you )
3. Horizontal Adduction ( moving toward the midline, 90-degree angle to the side )
