Study Notes

Anatomical Position

Always the starting point when discussing orientation, location, or movement of a body structure or part.
This is the reference position in anatomy.

Directional Terminology

Contra-lateral: Opposite side. For example, the right shoulder is contralateral to the left shoulder.
Bi-lateral: Both sides. For example, having right and left kidneys, lungs, or eyes.
Superficial: Closer to the surface, closer to the skin.
Deep: Away from the surface, away from the skin.

Planes of the Body

Frontal/Coronal Plane: Divides the body into front and back parts.
Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into right and left parts.
- Mid-sagittal Plane: A sagittal plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves.
Transverse Plane: Divides the body into top and bottom parts.

Axes of Movement

Sagittal Axis: Runs from front to back of the body.
Frontal Axis: Runs from one side of the body to the other.
Longitudinal/Vertical Axis: Runs lengthwise through the body.

Anatomical Terms of Movement

Flexion: Decreases the angle between two body parts, usually in the sagittal plane.
Extension: Increases the angle between two body parts, usually in the sagittal plane.
- Hyperextension: Extension beyond anatomical position.
Abduction: Movement away from the midline, usually in the frontal plane.
Adduction: Movement towards the midline, usually in the frontal plane.
Rotation: Movement around the longitudinal axis.
- Medial/Internal Rotation: Rotation towards the midline.
- Lateral/External Rotation: Rotation away from the midline.
Circumduction: A combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
