Study Notes
Body Planes and Directional Terms
- Anterior (ventral): Refers to the front surface of the body.
- Posterior (dorsal): Indicates the back side of the body.
- Deep: Describes a position that is further from the body surface.
- Proximal: Nearer to the point of attachment to the trunk or the beginning of a structure.
- Distal: Farther from the point of attachment to the trunk or the beginning of a structure.
- Inferior: Positioned below another structure.
- Superior: Positioned above another structure.
- Superficial: Toward or on the surface of the body.
- Medial: Pertains to the middle or closer to the median plane of the body.
- Lateral: Pertains to the side of the body.
- Supine: Lying on the back.
- Prone: Lying on the belly.
- Transverse Plane: Divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves.
Health and Behavior Assessment
- Focuses on identifying psychological, behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and social factors impacting physical health.
- Psychological Factors: Includes thoughts, feelings, and cognitive traits affecting attitudes, behaviors, and mental functions.
- Behavioral Factors: Specific behaviors that negatively impact health, increase disease risk, and may include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and sexual behaviors.
- Cognitive Factors: Internal traits that influence a person’s performance and learning, affecting responses to stress and other external stimuli.
- Social Factors: Influences on thought and behavior that arise within social contexts, impacting overall health and wellbeing.
