    Study Notes

    Anatomical Terminology

    • Distal: Refers to a position further away from a reference point, e.g., phalanges are more distal than the elbow joint.
    • Proximal: Indicates a position closer to a reference point.

    Planes of Movement

    • Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right halves, facilitating forward and backward movements (flexion/extension).

      • Examples: Lunges, squats, vertical jumps, walking.
    • Frontal Plane: Divides the body into front and back sections, allowing lateral movements.

      • Examples: Lateral raises, side lunges, adduction, abduction.
    • Transverse Plane: Divides the body into upper and lower parts, enabling rotational movements.

      • Examples: Spinal rotation, internal/external limb rotation, horizontal abduction/adduction.

    Standard Anatomical Position

    • Body stands upright, facing forward, with legs parallel to each other.

    Key Anatomical Terms

    • Anterior: Refers to the front surface of the body.
    • Posterior: Indicates the back side of the body.
    • Medial: Toward the midline of the body.
    • Lateral: Away from the midline, towards the side.
    • Superior: Toward the head (upper part).
    • Inferior: Away from the head (lower part).
    • Superficial: Nearer to the surface.
    • Deep: Further from the surface.

    Synovial Joints

    • Types of Synovial Joints: Total of 6 types, including:
      • Gliding Joints: Found in carpals and tarsals, allow sliding movements.
      • Ellipsoid Joints: Such as the wrist joints (radiocarpal), permit movement in multiple directions.
      • Saddle Joints: Found in the thumbs, allow for oppositional movements.

    Joint Health Factors

    • Key elements for joint health include:
      • Space: Ensures proper movement without restriction.
      • Lubrication: Essential to reduce friction and wear on joints, achieved through movement.
