Study Notes
Retraction
- Refers to a movement that pulls a structure or body part back towards the midline of the body or point of origin.
Circumduction
- A circular movement that combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
Circumduction Movements
- Circumduction does not involve rotation of the limb.
Circumduction Movements
- Flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction are all considered part of circumduction.
Opposite of Retraction
- The opposite of retraction is protraction, where the structure or body part moves forward away from the midline of the body or point of origin.
Human Anatomy Focus
- Primarily focuses on the structure of the human body.
Anatomical Reference Point
- Anatomical position is used as a reference point for anatomical descriptions.
Anatomical Planes
- The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left parts.
Proximal in Anatomical Terms
- In anatomical terms, proximal refers to closer to the point of attachment or origin of a structure (e.g., the elbow is proximal to the wrist).
Directional Term in Anatomy
- "Retroperitoneal" is not a commonly used directional term on its own.
Proximal v. Distal
- The elbow is more proximal than the wrist.
Forearm Position in Anatomical Position
- In anatomical position, the forearm is described as being supinated.
Most Distal Body Part
- The fingers are considered the most distal part of the body.
Anatomical Position Statements
- In the anatomical position, the palms are facing forward.
Lateral Body Parts
- The ears are located more laterally (further away from the midline) than the nose.
Anatomy Etymology
- The Greek word 'Anatome', from which anatomy is derived, means "to cut up" or "to dissect".
Trunk of the Human Body
- The head is not included in the trunk of the human body.
Upper Limb Parts
- "Thorax" does not refer to a part of the upper limb.
Anatomical Position Description
- Anatomical position describes a person standing upright with their feet slightly apart, arms at their sides with palms facing forward, and head facing forward.
Anatomy Classification
- Anatomy is primarily regarded as a biological science.
Ipsilateral in Anatomy
- Ipsilateral refers to structures or conditions on the same side of the body.
Contralateral in Anatomy
- Contralateral refers to structures or conditions on the opposite side of the body.
Anatomical "Superficial" Definition
- "Superficial" in anatomical terminology describes structures closer to the surface of the body.
Contralateral Synonym
- Counterlateral is a synonym for contralateral.
Condition Affecting One Side of the Body
- If a patient's left arm condition does not affect the right arm, the condition can be described as unilateral.
