| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe how the sagittal plane divides the body | extending from front to back vertically... it divides the body into right and left parts |
| Describe how the frontal plane divides the body | extending from side to side vertically... it divides the body into an anterior and posterior portion |
| Describe how the transverse plane divides the body | the transverse plane is horizontal and divides the body into upper and lower portions at about waist height |
| List the three axes that movement takes place around | Vertical/Longitudinal axis, Sagittal axis, Frontal axis |
| Which planes intersect to create the sagittal axis? | The sagittal and transverse planes intersect creating a line from front to back |
| Which planes intersect to create the vertical/longitudinal axis? | The sagittal and frontal planes intersect creating a line from the top of our head, right down to our feet. |
| The frontal and transverse planes intersect to create which axis? | The frontal axis... which extends horizontally from one side of the body to the other side. |
| A spheroidal or Ball and Socket Joint allow which type of movement? | Flexion/extension/hyperextension, abduction/adduction, rotation and circumduction |
| Which joint type allows simply flexion and extension? e.g. elbow joint | Hinge or Ginglymus |
| The Ellipsoidal or Condyloid is found in the radiocarpal joint, where is that? | Wrist |
| The saddle joint allows for all movements except....? | Rotation |
| Plane or Gliding joints are found...? | in the feet or hands and intertarsal or intercarpal joints |
| Pivot or Trochoid joint allows for which movement? | Pronation and suppination of the forearm. |
| ............ is moving away from the midline of the body. | Abduction |
| Flexion and extension are performed primarily in the......... plane. | sagittal plane |
| What are some common movements found in the transverse plane? | medial and lateral rotation, transverse abduction and adduction |
| What is the axis of rotation for the frontal plane? | Sagittal axis (runs front to back) |
| What is the axis of rotation for the sagittal plane? | Frontal axis (runs side to side) |
