Describe the anatomical position (body, hands, feet)
Body: Standing and facing forward with the arms to the side
Hands: Palms face forward with extended fingers and the thumbs pointing away from the body
Feet: Slightly apart and toes pointed forward
Define Anterior (ventral)
viewing the body or parts of the body from the front
Define posterior (dorsal)
viewing the body or parts of the body from behind
Define Superior (cranial)
toward the head
Define Inferior (Caudal)
Toward the feet
Define Proximal
being closer to the body midline or origin of a body structure
Ex: knee is proximal to the ankle
Define distal
being farther away from the body midline or origin of a body structure
Ex: knee is distal to the hip
Define Flexion
decreasing the angle between limb bones at a joint, bending
Define extension
increasing the angle of limb bones at a joint, extending
Define abduction
movement of limbs away from the body
Define adduction
movement of limbs toward the body midline
Define rotation
movement of a limb along its axis at a joint
Define circumduction
movement of a limb in a conical shape at a joint
Define supine
the body is laying facing upward
Define prone
the body is laying facing down
Define supination
forearm: The forearm rotates palms facing forward/anterior
foot: the foot leans inward relative to the lower leg
Define pronation
forearm: forearm rotates palms facing backward/posterior
foot: foot leans outward relative to the lower leg
Define the coronal/frontal plane
divides the body into anterior and posterior sections
Define the sagittal/longitudinal plane
divides the body into left and right sections
Define transverse/axial plane
divides the body into superior and inferior sections
describe day 1 of early embryogenesis
a zygote forms (2N)
describe day 4 of early embryogenesis
cleavage produces a morula
describe day 5 of early embryogenesis
a fluid-filled cavity forms inside the morula, producing a blastula
describe day 6 of early embryogenesis
the blastula splits into 2 cell masses: the inner embryoblast and an outer trophoblast.
implantation begins.
