Study Notes
Body Systems Related to Movement
- Muscular system enables movement through contraction.
- Skeletal system provides structure and support for the body.
- Nervous system coordinates signals to initiate and control movement.
Anatomical Regions
- Upper Extremity (UE) includes arms and shoulders.
- Lower Extremity (LE) consists of legs and feet.
- Trunk encompasses the thorax and abdomen.
- Thorax refers to the chest area.
- Abdomen is the region between the thorax and pelvis.
- Back is the posterior aspect of the trunk.
- Head includes the skull and facial structures.
- Neck connects the head to the trunk.
Anatomical Position
- Body is positioned upright and erect.
- Forearms are supinated, palms facing forward.
- Feet are placed parallel and facing forward.
- Arms are positioned at the sides of the body.
Terms Describing Structures Relative to Anatomical Position
- Dorsal indicates the posterior side of the body.
- Ventral refers to the anterior side or front of the body.
- Medial means closer to the midline or center of the body.
- Lateral indicates a position farther from the midline.
Anatomical Planes
-
Sagittal Plane
- Divides the body into left and right halves.
- Involves anterior/posterior movements and allows for flexion and extension.
-
Frontal Plane (Coronal)
- Segments the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections.
- Facilitates side-to-side movements such as abduction, adduction, ulnar, and radial deviation, as well as lateral flexion.
-
Horizontal Plane (Transverse)
- Divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) portions.
- Supports rotational movements and actions occurring along the vertical axis.
