  • Front
  • Back
Define anatomical position in the West
Standing erect,
arms down to one's side, palms turned so they can be seen clearly from the front
What are the three dimensions in the body?
Height, width, depth
What is the fourth dimension?
Time
What dimensions does a drawing have?
Height and width
y axis, x axis
What axis do we use for:
Height
Width
Depth
Height = y axis
Width = x axis
Depth = z axis
How many planes do we get from the x and y axes?
One
How many planes do we get from three axes (x, y, z)?
Three
Body planes can be used to divide the body how?
across the middle
from side to side
front to back
What do we call the across the middle plane?
Horizontal plane
Transverse plane
Crosscut
Give two popular examples of creating a horizontal plane in the body:
Magician sawing lady in half
Guillotine
It creates a top and bottom part
What do we call a horizontal plane cut in a limb?
Transverse plane/
crosscut
What do we call the cut that divides the body lengthways into left and right parts?
Sagittal plane
If it divides the body into EQUAL left and right parts it is called...
Median plane/
midline
What plane divides the body into a clear front and back?
Frontal plane/
coronal plane
Anatomical relationships describe...
relative positions of parts to parts
Closer to top/head
(horizontal plane)
Cranial
Cephalad
Rostral
Superior
Further from top/head
(horizontal plane)
Caudal
Inferior
Closer to midline
(sagittal plane)
Medial
Further from midline, closer to side
(sagittal plane)
Lateral
Closer to front
(coronal plane)
Ventral
Anterior
Closer to back
(coronal plane)
Dorsal
Posterior
A structure on the limb closer to body is called...
Proximal
Structure on limb further from body
Distal
The main terms we use for relative positions of parts to parts are:
the Eeyore terms
Superior
Inferior
Anterior
Posterior
What does Brunnstrom say about body planes and joint motion?
All of the classic, single joint motions occur with respect to the cardinal planes.
How do we define a motion in terms of body planes?
We define a motion according to the body plane the part moves in if the part were in standard anatomical position.
Frontal plane motion moves along which axes?
pivots around z axis and travels through x,y plane
Examples of frontal plane motion:
Abduction (away from midline)
Adduction (towards midline)
Sagittal plane motion moves along which axes?
occur around x axis, travel through y,z plane
Examples of sagittal plane motion:
Flexion (segments come closer together)
Extension (segments move away from one another)
Horizontal plane motion moves along which axes?
around a y axis, travelling in the x,z plane
Examples of horizontal plane motion:
Rotations
Internal rotations - bring two points on anterior surface of body closer
External rotations - bring these same points further apart
Pronation and supination describe...
the turning motion of the forearm
Arm in anatomical position with palm facing forward is described as
supination
If forearm turned over so that radius and ulna overlap and palm faces backward, this is described as...
pronation
Wrist motion is called either ______________ or
______________
radial deviation or
ulna deviation
Radial deviation means...
wrist bending laterally towards radius
Ulna deviation means...
wrist bending medially towards ulna
In the hand, where do we consider the center of the sagittal plane to be?
Third finger
Abduction and adduction in the fingers is determined by...
whether the movement in question is towards or away from the third finger
In the foot, where do we consider the center of the sagittal plane to be?
Second toe
Abduction and adduction in the foot is determined by...
whether the movement in question is towards or away from the second toe
In the thumb, flexion and extension occur in the...
frontal plane
(because thumb is normally rotated 90 degrees from the plane of the hand)
In the thumb, abduction and adduction occur in the
sagittal plane
(because thumb is normally rotated 90 degrees from the plane of the hand)
Foot: when heel on floor and toes in air we call it:
dorsiflexion
Foot: when toes on ground and heel in air, we call it:
plantar flexion
When ankle turned so we are on outside edge of foot, we call it:
inversion
When ankle turns so we are on arch of foot, we call it
eversion
For pronation and supination in the foot we adopt Brunnstrom's definition:
pronation involves a depression of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot, and supination involve an elevation of this arch
