Anatomy Unit 17

QuestionAnswer
Flexion vs Extension (Actions) Flexion - decreasing the angle of a joint - ex: bringing your arm up Extension - increasing the angle of a joint - ex: bringing your arm down
Flexion vs Extension (joints) - spine - neck - elbow - wrist - fingers - thumb - shoulder - hip - knee
Abduction vs Adduction (actions) Abduction - moving a body part away from the midline - ex: jumping jacks (move arms out) Adduction - moving a body part towards the midline - ex: jumping jacks (move arms back in)
Abduction vs Adduction (joints) - scapula (same as protraction) - shoulders - wrist - thumb - fingers - hip
Protraction vs Retraction (actions) Protraction - moving a body part forward - ex: moving scapula forward Retraction - moving a body part backwards - ex: moving your scapula backwards
Protraction vs Retraction (joints) Mandible Scapula
Elevation vs Depression (action) Elevation - raising a body part - ex: raising scapula (shrugging) Depression - lowering a body part - ex: lowering the scapula
Elevation vs Depression (joints) Mandible Scapula
Rotation vs Lateral Flexion (actions) Rotation - moving a body part on an axis - ex: turning the head Lateral Flexion - bending the body laterally - ex: bending at the waist to the right
Rotation vs lateral Flexion (joints) Rotation - neck (atlas, axis) - spine Lateral Flexion - Neck - spine
Medial vs Lateral rotation (action) medial rotation - rotating the body part towards the midline of the body - ex: keep humerus in, move forearm inward Lateral rotation - rotating the body part away from the midline of the body - ex: keep humerus in, move forearm out
Medial vs lateral rotation (joints) Shoulder Hip
Shoulder Special Movements Horizontal Abduction - moving the arm across the body away from the midline of the body Horizontal Adduction - moving the arm across the body toward the midline of the body
Ankle Special Movements Dorsiflexion: pointing the toes up Plantarflexion: pointing the toes down Eversion: turning the foot so the sole faces laterally Inversion: turning the foot so the sole faces medially
Forearm Special Movements Supination - turning the forearm so the palm is up Pronation - turning the forearm so the palm is down
Thumb Special Movements Opposition: bringing the thumb across the palm of the hand to touch the fingers
Spine + Thorax - All movements Flexion Extension Rotation Lateral Flexion
Neck - All movments Flexion Extension Rotation Lateral Flexion
Mandible - All movements Elevation Depression Protraction Retraction
Hip + knee - all movements - flexion and extension (both) - medial and lateral rotation of hip - adduction and abduction of hip
Fingers - All movements Finger extension Finger Flexion Finger Adduction Finger Abduction
Ankle - all movements - Dorsiflexion of ankle - Plantarflexion of ankle - Inversion of foot - Eversion of foot
Elbow + forearm - all movements - Flexion and extension of elbow - Supination and Pronation of forearm
Wrist - All Movements - Extension - Flexion - Adduction (radial) - Abduction (Ulnar)
Thumb - All movements - Abduction - Adduction - Opposition - Flexion - Extension
Scapula - All movements - elevation - depression - adduction - abduction
Shoulder - All movements - flexion - extension - abduction - adduction - horizontal abduction - horizontal adduction - medial rotation (internal rotation) - lateral rotation (external rotation)
Joint muscle crosses - muscles make movement by pulling on their attachments (tendons) - tendons are attached to different bones - thus muscles crosses a joint - when a muscle crosses a joint, it moves that joint
Rule #1 for body movement whatever joint a muscle crosses, it moves that joint
Fiber direction - if the sarcomeres were to contract, which way would they shorten the muscle - the muscle would shorten along the muscle fiber direction
Rule #2 for body movement muscles contract in the direction of muscle fibers
location of muscle - where a muscle is located can also tell you what movement that muscle performs - if a muscle is on the anterior side of the body = anterior movements -posterior muscle = posterior movement - medial muscle = medial movement
Rule #3 for body movement the location of the muscle (where the muscle crosses the joint - anterior, posterior, medial, lateral), tells you what type of action it will perform - anterior - anterior movement - posterior - posterior - medial - medial - lateral - lateral
Muscle movement specifics - skeletal muscles almost always work in groups - when you want to do a movement, the appropriate group of muscles is stimulated - Prime mover: main muscle responsible for producing the action
Synergists - while the prime mover is acting, certain nearby muscles also contract - help the movement, not the prime mover but assist - synergists are muscles that produce the same movement
Antagonists these muscles resist a prime movers action, usually perform opposite action
Origin - Insertion - muscles have attachment points (tendons) - origin: the fixed attachment - closer to trunk of body - insertion - moveable attachment, away from trunk of body
Muscle fiber direction = movement - if muscle contracts and shortens, bringing the two ends (tendons) together, we can understand movement
Vastus Straight Muscle
Serratus Jagged Muscle
Quadriceps four parts
Biceps two heads
Brevis shortest
Dorsi Pertaining to the back
Oblique at an angle
rectus big
minimi smallest
Oris pertaining to the mouth

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
