differentiate b/w axial vs appendicular skeleton
|
axial *skull *vertebral column *thorax appendicular *pectoral girdle *upper limb *pelvic girdle *lower limb |
|
define flexion, extension, hyperextension (what plane does this occur in?)
|
flexion: anterior surfaces of joining bones coming together extension: anatomical position hyperextension: more!! sagittal plane |
|
define abduction/adduction (what plane?) |
frontal/coronal plane abduction: away from midline adduction: towards midline |
|
define medial/lateral rotation
|
occurs in transverse/horizontal plane medial: anterior surface of bone rotates inward lateral rotation: outward |
|
what is circumduction |
flex, abduction, extension, adduction |
