- Bilateral: Pertaining to both sides.
- Unilateral: Relating to one side only.
- Contralateral: Involving the opposite side.
- Ipsilateral: Occurring on the same side.
- Deep: Positioned further inside the body.
- Superficial: Closer to the surface of the body.
- Prone: Lying flat horizontally with the face down.
- Ventral: Pertaining to the front or anterior aspect.
- Dorsal: Relating to the back or posterior surface.
Body Movements
- Abduction: Movement away from the midline, to the side.
- Adduction: Movement towards the midline.
- Supination: Rotation of the forearm to face the palm up; anterior palm position.
- Proximal/Proxim(o): Closer to the axial body.
- Distal/Disto: Further from the axial body.
- Superior/Super(o): Closer to the head (cranial).
- Inferior/Infer(o): Closer to the feet (caudal).
- Medial/Medi(o): Closer to the midline of the body.
- Eversion: Movement of the ankle causing the foot's bottom to face laterally.
- Lateral/Later(o): Movement away from the midline.
- Flexion: Movement towards the anterior side, with an exception at the knee joint.
- Inversion: Movement of the ankle causing the foot's bottom to face medially.
- Extension: Movement towards the posterior side, with an exception at the knee joint.
- Pronation: Forearm rotation resulting in the palm facing down; posterior palm position.
- Ulnar Deviation: Wrist movement toward the ulna; wrist adduction.
- Radial Deviation: Wrist movement toward the radius; wrist abduction.
- Supine: Lying horizontally, facing upward.
- Protraction: Scapular movement away from the spinal column; scapular abduction.
Major Body Systems
- Musculoskeletal System (PF): Framework support, protects organs, allows movement, generates heat, and produces blood components.
- Musculoskeletal System (MS): Comprises bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
- Respiratory System (PF): Supplies oxygen and removes carbon dioxide through breathing.
- Respiratory System (MS): Includes the airway and lungs.
- Circulatory System (PF): Transports nutrients and oxygen to cells and eliminates waste.
- Circulatory System (MS): Consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
- Nervous System (PF): Transmits messages to and from the brain, one of two primary regulatory systems.
- Nervous System (MS): Includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
- Integumentary System (PF): Communicates body status, prevents infection and dehydration, regulates temperature, aids vitamin production.
- Integumentary System (MS): Composed of skin, hair, and nails.
- Endocrine System (MS): Consists of glands, responsible for hormone secretion.
