Question	Answer
runs longitudinally dividing the body into front and back parts	Frontal or Coronal plane
Flexion	decreases the angle of a joint and brings ventral surfaces together Ex: making fist
Superior/Inferior	above/below
Superficial/Deep	towards the surface (external)/away from the surface (internal)
Plantarflexion	movement of the ankle joint so that you are pointing your toes
Extension	increases the angle of a joint moving ventral surfaces apart Ex: open hand, extending fingers
Adduction	movement towards the midline Ex: fingers all together
Abduction	movement away from the midline Ex: spread fingers apart
runs horizontally dividing the body into top and bottom or upper and lower parts	Transverse plane
Proximal/Distal	towards the trunk/away from the trunk (usually refers to directions along the limbs)
Medial/lateral	towards the midline/away from the midline
Inversion	turning inward
Dorsal/Ventral	back side/belly side
Rotation	movement of a bone around its vertical axis Ex: turning the arm inward or outward
Anterior/Posterior	front/back
eversion	turning outward
Circumduction	movement of the bone so that the proximal end is stable but the distal end outlines a circle - involves flexion, extension, adduction and abduction.
Cranial/Caudal	towards the head/towards the /feet or tail
Runs longitudinally dividing the body into left and right parts	Sagittal plane
Dorsiflexion	movement of the ankle joint so that you are standing on your heels
