Study Notes
Anatomical Terms Overview
- Anatomical position is crucial for using proper anatomical terminology: body standing upright, arms at the sides.
- Understanding sensory systems involves studying the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems.
Terms of Location and Direction
- Anterior: towards the front.
- Posterior: towards the back.
- Superior: above or upper.
- Inferior: below or lower.
- Cranial: towards the head.
- Caudal: towards the tail.
Additional Terms of Location
- Medial: towards the midline.
- Lateral: away from the midline.
- Median: located on the midline.
Axial and Transverse Terms
- Axial: refers to the axis of a structure.
- Transverse: perpendicular to the long axis.
- Longitudinal: parallel to the long axis.
Depth and Superficiality
- Superficial: near the surface.
- Deep: beneath the surface.
- Example: lungs are deep to the rib cage.
Positional Terms
- Apical: pertaining to the apex or top.
- Basal: pertaining to the base or bottom.
- Supine: lying on the back.
- Prone: lying face down.
Limb Terminology
- Proximal: closer to the trunk or origin point.
- Distal: further from the trunk or origin point.
- Radial: pertaining to the radius, lateral side of the forearm.
- Ulnar: pertaining to the ulna, medial side of the forearm.
Hand and Foot References
- Palmar: pertaining to the palm of the hand.
- Dorsal: pertaining to the back of the hand and top of the foot.
- Plantar: pertaining to the sole of the foot.
Comparison Terms
- Ipsilateral: on the same side as a reference point.
- Contralateral: on the opposite side from a reference point.
Neural Flow
- Afferent: flow toward the reference point.
- Efferent: flow away from the reference point.
- Afferent neurons relay info from sensory receptors to the CNS.
Planes of the Body
- Sagittal Plane: divides body into right and left sides.
- Coronal Plane: divides body into front and back parts.
- Transverse Plane: divides body into upper and lower parts.
Axes of the Body
- Longitudinal Axis: height of the body in a craniocaudal direction.
- Sagittal Axis: from front to back or back to front.
- Transverse Axis: from side to side.
Movement Terms
- Flexion: decreasing the joint angle in the sagittal plane.
- Extension: increasing the joint angle in the sagittal plane.
- Dorsi and Plantar Flexion: movements specific to the foot.
Additional Movement References
- Abduction: moving away from the midline.
- Adduction: moving toward the midline.
- Pronation: turning forearm medially.
- Supination: turning forearm laterally to make palm face anteriorly.
Foot Movement Definitions
- Inversion: sole of the foot turns medially.
- Eversion: sole of the foot turns laterally.
Rotation Types
- Medial Rotation: anterior surface turns medially.
- Lateral Rotation: anterior surface turns laterally.
- Circumduction: combines flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
