Study Notes
Chapter 3: Systems Approach
- Course: EXS-210
- Instructor: Dr. Michelle "Twitch" Jilek, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS
The Systems
- Nervous System: brain and spinal cord, rapid response
- Endocrine System: hormones, slow response
- Respiratory System: lungs, breathing
- Circulatory System: heart, transport
- Integumentary System: skin, body temperature regulation
- Muscular System: muscles, tendons
- Skeletal System: skeleton, structure, ligaments
- Immune System: protection, repair
- Energy System: aerobic and anaerobic pathways
- Digestive System: pathway of food/nutrients
- Urinary System: removes waste, fluid volume regulation
- Reproductive System: perpetuation of the species
Anatomical Position
- Palms forward
Anatomical Planes
- Sagittal: right and left halves, example hip flexion/extension, X-axis (think roasting on a spit)
- Coronal/Frontal: front and back halves, example shoulder abduction/adduction, Z-axis
- Transverse: top and bottom halves, example head turning, Y-axis (think top spinning)
Anatomical Directions
- Midline
- Medial/lateral
- Superior/inferior
- Anterior/posterior
- Superficial/deep
- Proximal/distal
- Caudal/rostral
- Dorsal/ventral
Anatomical Movements
- Flexion/extension
- Abduction/adduction
- Internal/external rotation
- Other movements like: Lateral flexion, rotation, elevation, depression, dorsi/plantar flexion, inversion/eversion are shown in the figure
Additional Points
- Name examples of body parts in relation to each other (e.g., wrist is distal to the elbow, sternum is medial to the shoulder, eyes are superior to chin).
- Identify which anatomical movements go with specific anatomical planes and axes. A demo is likely to follow to show applied examples.
