    Study Notes

    Adduction

    • Adduction refers to the movement of a limb towards the body's midline.
    • In the arm, adduction involves bringing the arm from an abducted position (away from the body) back down to the side of the body.

    Palm towards inner wrist

    • The movement of bringing the palm towards the inner wrist is called ulnar deviation.

    Lateral rotation of the arm

    • Lateral rotation of the arm involves rotating the arm outward, so that the palm faces away from the body.

    Thumb away from midline

    • Moving the thumb away from the midline in anatomical position is known as abduction of the thumb.

    Touching thumb to other digits

    • Opposition is the movement of touching the thumb to other digits.

    Anatomical Position

    • The anatomical position is a standardized reference point used to describe the body.
    • This position involves standing upright, arms at the sides, palms facing forward, and feet slightly apart.

    Sagittal Plane

    • The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right portions.

    Nose vs. Ear

    • The nose is anterior (front) in relation to the ear.

    Proximal & Distal

    • Proximal describes a structure closer to the origin or point of attachment of a limb.
    • Distal describes a structure farther away from the origin or point of attachment of a limb.

    Superficial

    • Superficial refers to structures located near the surface of the body.

    Shoulder and Elbow Relation

    • The statement that the shoulder joint is proximal to the elbow indicates that the shoulder is closer to the point of attachment of the arm (the trunk) than the elbow.

    Bottom of the Foot

    • Plantar is the term used for the surface of the foot that touches the ground.

    Axial (Transverse) Plane

    • The axial (transverse) plane divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions. This plane is used for describing movements such as rotation and twisting.
