Kinesiology
Study of movement
Sagittal plane
Median or midsagittal
Splits body into R and L halves
Frontal plane
Coronal
Divides body into anterior and posterior parts, front and back
Transverse
Horizontal plane, upper and lower, or superior and inferior parts
Axes of movement
Right angle to plane in which movement occurs
Frontal axis
Movements in SAGITTAL plane have frontal axes
Sagittal axis
Movements in FRONAL planes have sagittal axes
Vertical axis
Movements in transverse plane occur around vertical axes
Linear movement (translatory)
Movement in relatively straight line, all parts of object move same distance in same direction at the same time
Rectilinear
Movement in straight line (Car on road, w/c on path)
Curvilinear
Curved path, skier down slope b/w flags
Angular (rotary) movement
Movement of object around fixed point traveling through an arc
All parts move through the same angle, same direction, but not the same distance
Bones at joint
Osteokinematics
Bone movements in space
Skeletal system functions
Support and shape to body, protects vital organs and body systems, manufactures blood cells
Axial
Head, thorax, and trunk
80
Appendicular
Extremities
Arms, legs, pelvis and shoulder girdle
126
Compact bone
Outer shell
Cancellous bone, spongy bone
Porous, inside of bone, resists strain and stress, makes up end of most articular bones
Diaphysis
Main shaft of bone
Medullary canal
Hollow, center of diaphysis, contains marrow
Endosteum
Membrane lining the medullary canal
Epiphysis
Area of end of diaphysis, wider than shaft, growth occurs here in children
Metaphysis
Flared end of the diaphysis which supports the epiphysis
Periosteum
Membrane covering bone except articular surfaces (hyaline cartilage)
Contains nerve and blood vessels
ATTACHMENT point for tendons and ligaments
