|
Anatomical Position
|
|
Anatomical direction: a structure that is higher than another structure.
|
Superior
|
|
Anatomical direction: A structure that is lower than another structure.
|
Inferior
|
|
Anatomical direction: A structure located in front of another structure.
|
Anterior
|
|
Anatomical direction: A structure that is behind another structure.
|
Posterior
|
|
Anatomical direction: A structure that is closer to the cardinal sagittal plane than another structure.
|
Medial
|
|
Anatomical direction: A structure that is further away from the cardinal sagittal plane than another structure.
|
Lateral
|
|
Anatomical direction: on the extremities, a structure that is closer to the beginning of the extremity than another structure.
|
Proximal
|
|
Anatomical direction: on the extremities, a structure that is further away from the beginning of the extremity than another structure.
|
Distal
|
|
Planar movement: sagittal plane, anterior-posterior, the angle formed at the joint decreases.
|
Flexion
|
|
Planar movement: sagittal plane, anterior-posterior, the angle formed at the joint increases.
|
Extension
|
|
Planar movement: frontal plane, a movement away from the mid-line.
|
Abduction
|
|
Planar movement: frontal plane, a movement towards the mid-line.
|
Adduction
|
|
Planar movement: transverse plane, a pivoting motion about the long axis of the body or a body segment
|
Rotation
|
|
Planar movement: any plane, a movement in which the joint represents a pivot & the distal segment moves in a circle.
|
Circumduction
|
|
How many bones are in the human body?
|
206
|
|
An obvious lump on a bone that serves as a site for muscle attachment.
|
Tuberosity
Tubercle Process |
|
A "notched out" area of bone that generally serves as a pathway for nerves or vessels
|
Notch
|
|
An obvious bone projection that is generally longer and thinner than a tuberosity.
|
Spine
|
|
A hollowed area of bone that may or may not be obvious when first considered. It may also refer to a hollow surface area on the body
|
Fossa
|
|
A hole that passes completely through a bone.
|
Foramen
|
|
The articular surfaces of the bone.
|
Condyles
|
|
The communication (junction) of 2 or more bones as they form a joint. The bones may or may not actually touch.
|
Articulation
Joint |
|
The communicating surfaces of bones.
|
Articular Surface
Joint Surface |
|
A hollow chamber surrounded by compact bone and contains marrow.
|
Medullary Cavity
|
|
The articulation of 2 or more connecting bones.
|
Joint
|
|
Synovial joint where movement occurs about one axis or within one plane, e.g. the knee.
|
Uniaxial Joint
|
|
Synovial joint that permits movement about 2 axes or within 2 planes, e.g. the wrist.
|
Biaxial Joints
|
|
Synovial Joint that permits movement about 3 axes or within 3 planes, e.g. the hip & shoulder.
|
Triaxial Joint
|
|
Joint involving sliding rather than rotating motion, e.g. bones of the wrist.
|
Nonaxial Joint
|
|
thin tissue surrounding most freely moving joints. Secretes fluid for lubrication.
|
Synovial Membrane
|
|
Tough fibrous sheet that surrounds many joints
|
Joint Capsule
|

Joint representing the articulation of the humerus & the glenoid fossa
|
Glenohumeral Joint
|
|
Upper: from spine of scapula up
Lower: from spine of scapula down |
Upper & lower sections of the trapezius
|
|
Anterior projection of the scapula that can be felt in the hollow between the arm & chest.
|
Coracoid Process
|
|
About 2 inches lateral to the coracoid process, on the anterior arm. Rotate arm to feel it move.
|
Lesser Tuberosity
of the Humerus |
|
Roughened area of bone found between the biceps & triceps
