Question
Answer
What are planes   slices in spa ce, continue on infinately in all directions  
🗑
Planes within the body   divide body into panels within which movement occurs-unify the language that is used to describe a movement-MOTION OCCURS WITHIN A PLANE  
🗑
three anatomical planes   sagital, frontal, transverse  
🗑
Sagital   seperates body into left and right  
🗑
frotnal plane   separates body into front and back sections  
🗑
Transverse/horizontal plane   serperates body into top(superior) and bottom sections  
🗑
Axes   perpendicular to each plane-MOTION OCCURS ABOUT AN AXES-  
🗑
Axes in the body   bilateral, antero-posterior, polar  
🗑
Bilateral   passes from left to right, perpendicular to the sagital plane, motion in the sagital plane occurs about this axis  
🗑
Anterio-posterior   passes from front to back, perpendicular to the frontal plane, motion that occurs in frontal plane is about this axis  
🗑
Polar   pases from top to bottom and perpendicular to the transverse plan-motion in the transcerse plane always about the polar axis  
🗑
Example of Motion in the Sagital Plane   standing in anatomical neutral-elbow flexes **about the bilateral axis  
🗑
Example of motion in the frontal plane   standing in anatomical neutral-arm is swung up like a jumping jack(ABDuction) **about the anterio-posterior axis  
🗑
Example of motion in the transverse plane   standing in anatomical neutral-head is rotated from side to side(cervical rotation) **about the polar axis  
🗑
