| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| anatomical position | standing upright, facing forward, feet slightly separated & arms hanging at sides w/ palms facing forward |
| sagittal plane | (vertical) divides body into left & right w/ imaginary line running vertically down body |
| midsagittal plane | plane that divides the body/organ into right and left halves |
| coronal plane | (frontal) imaginary line that divides body into anterior (ventral) & posterior (dorsal) halves of the body |
| transverse plane | imaginary line that divides the body horizontally into an upper and lower portion |
| superior | (cranial) higher than/above, toward the crown of the head |
| inferior | (caudal) lower than/below, farther from the crown of the head, toward the feet |
| anterior | (ventral) before/in front of, toward the front |
| posterior | (dorsal) behind or in back of |
| medial | relating to the middle/center, nearer to the midline |
| lateral | on the side, farther from the midline to the center |
| distal | farthest point from the origin of a structure or point of attachment; farther from the median, trunk, or center |
| proximal | nearest the origin of a structure or point of attachment; relatively nearer to the trunk or median |
| flexion | bending movement that results in decrease of angle in joint by bringing bones closer together |
| flexion (example) | the elbow joint when the hand is drawn to the shoulder |
| extension | straightenting movement that results in an increase of the angle in a joint by moving bones apart |
| extension (example) | movement of hand away from shoulder |
| abduction | lateral movement medially away from the midline of the trunk |
| abduction (example) | raising arm to the side |
| adduction | movement medially toward the midline of the trunk |
| adduction (example) | moving the arm back to the anatomical position |
| circumduction | circular movement of a limb, combining the movement of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction to create a cone shape |
| circumduction (example) | doing arm circles |
| rotation | twisting or turning of a bone on it own axis (i.e., shaking head to say, 'no.' |
| internal rotation | rolling TOWARD midline (i.e. pigeon-toed) |
| external rotation | rolling AWAY from the midline |
| pronation | turning the palm DOWNWARD |
| supination | turning the palm UPWARD (i.e. 'more porriage, sir.') |
| eversion | turning the sole of the foot outward/laterally |
| inversion | turning the sole of the foot inward/medially |
| dorsal flexion | bending/flexing movement of the top/dorsal surface of the foot the anterior tibia/shin |
| plantar flexion | bending/flexing movement of the plantar/sole surface of the foot downward (i.e. ballerina) |
| elevation | raising a part of the body (i.e. 'turtle, turtle') |
| depression | lowering a part of the body (i.e. eeyore would shrug) |
| protraction | thrusting a part of the body (i.e. forward movement of shoulder girdle away from spine) |
| retraction | pulling a part of the body backward (i.e. backward movement of shoulder girdle toward spine |
| opposition | act of placing part of body opposite another (i.e. opposable thumbs) |
