Study Notes
Movement Types
- When hands come together above the head, the movement is flexion.
- When hands are at the sides after jumping jacks, the movement is extension.
- When the head tilts to bring the ear to the shoulder, the movement of the neck is lateral flexion.
Anatomy Fundamentals
- Anatomy is the study of the structure and organization of living things.
- Gross anatomy involves the study of structures large enough to be seen with the eye.
- The anatomical position is a standard reference position where the body stands upright, feet together, and arms at the sides.
Body Position and Orientation
- The term for lying on the spine is supine.
- The part of the body that includes the head, neck, and trunk is the torso.
- The term used to describe the position of a structure with reference to the nose is medial.
Movements and Planes
- The movement that involves moving a limb away from the midline/median plane is abduction.
- The term that refers to structures on the opposite side of the body is contralateral.
- The plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts is the sagittal plane.
- A cross-section is a type of section made perpendicular to the long axis of the body.
Body Cavities and Joints
- Organs are housed in the ventral body cavity.
- When Ann stands on her tiptoes, her ankles exhibit plantarflexion.
- When Mark sits with his legs out in front, his knees are in a flexed position.
