Summary

These notes describe the different types of movements in the human body, including angular, rotational, and special movements. They cover topics such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, supination, pronation, dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, eversion, protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, and opposition. The notes also discuss the evolutionary significance of certain movements, such as the development of opposable thumbs.

Movements Three basic types of movement 1. Angular movement – movements change the angle between bones 2. Rotation – movement around a bone's long axis 3. Gliding – one bone across the surface of another 69 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Angular Movements: Increase or decrease angle between bones Movements involve: Flexion and extension Abduction and adduction Circumduction 71 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Angular Movements Flexion Extension Decrease Increase angle angle 72 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Angular Movements Flexion Extension 73 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Angular Movements ABDuction: Away from midline Abducted away from body ADDuction: Towards midline Added to the body Circumduction: Combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction at a joint. 74 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Rotational Movements Involves turning movement of a bone around its long axis The movement between atlas and axis vertebrae Occurs at the hip and shoulder joints Medial and lateral rotation 75 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements || bones, like soup Supination – forearm rotates laterally – palm faces anteriorly Pronation – forearm rotates medially – palm faces posteriorly 76 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements Dorsiflexion - The top (dorsum) of the foot moves toward the shin Plantarflexion - The toes are pointed downward. 77 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements Inversion - The foot (plantar) rolls inward (medial) and the ankle rolls outward (lateral) Eversion – The foot (plantar) rolls outward (lateral) and the ankle rolls inward (medial) 78 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements Protraction – non angular movement of jutting out the jaw Retraction – opposite movement to protraction *scapula Also observed in ths bone 79 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements Elevation – lifting a body superiorly Depression – moving the elevated part inferiorly *scapula Also observed in this bone 80 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements Opposition – Thumb touches other fingertips (opposite is reposition) Includes thumb abduction/adduction while flexing to touch other fingers. Allows us to grab & manipulate with our hands 81 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Special Movements Crucial evolutionary advantage Evolved ~2.6 million years ago when ancestors began using stone tools more frequently hunt better = high nutrition = more brain development 82 3. The Human Body: Orientations & Terminology Gliding Movements Flat surfaces of two bones slip across each other Gliding occurs between: Carpals Tarsals Articulate process of vertebrae's 83 3.
