  • Front
  • Back
Plane that divides the body into right & left as it passes from front to back
Sagittal Plane
Plane that divides the body into front & back as it passes from side to side.
Frontal or Coronal Plane
Plane that divides the body into top & bottom as it passes perpendicular to the long axis of the body or a body segment.
Transverse Plane
or
Horizontal Plane
The end of a long bone made chiefly of cancellous (spongy) bone.
Epiphysis
A cartilaginous plate located between the epiphysis & the diaphysis & is where growth takes place.
Epiphyseal Plate
generally found toward the epiphysis & is arranged in a honeycombed or lattice fashion. It helps to conserve weight & absorb stress.
Cancellous Bone
Spongy Bone
The shaft of the bone. It is made of hard compact bone.
Diaphysis
Hard bone of the diaphysis that is deposited in layers. Denser & stronger & resists bending.
Compact Bone
A fibrous sheath around the bone
Periosteum
Joints that are very stable with no observable movement.
Fibrous Joints
Sutured Joints
Joints that are quite stable & provide for considerable movement. Fibrocartilage occupies the space between the bones providing shock absorption.
Cartilaginous Joints
Freely moving joints with space between the articular surface of the bones forming the joint, allowing a wide range of motion. They are classified by the number of axes about which they rotate.
Synovial Joints
Three forms of muscle tissue
1. skeletal
2. smooth
3. cardiac
striated, voluntary muscle tissue
Skeletal
non-striated, involuntary muscle tissue. Present in many organs.
Smooth
striated, involuntary muscle tissue
Cardiac
Tough connective tissues that run from bone to bone. You can sprain these.
Ligaments
Connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. You can strain these.
Tendons
Occupies the space between certain bones to form articular surface, e.g. disks between the vertebrae, the menisci of the knee. Functions as a shock absorber. Decrease wear & tear on bones.
Fibrocartilage
Liquid-filled membranes that protect soft tissues as they pass by bony projections.
Bursae
muscle contraction where its insertion is pulled towards its origin.
Concentric Contraction
muscle contraction wherein muscle tension is developed but no real movement takes place.
Isometric contraction
Contraction wherein the muscle develops tension, yet its length actually increases as when putting down a heavy load with controlled motion.
