position above another structure, or closer to the head

Inferior

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:14:24 UTC

In medical terminology, "inferior" means lower or below

Prone

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:15:23 UTC

lying face down with the body flat on a surface

Supine

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:16:22 UTC

the medical position where a person lies flat on their back, face up

Medial

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:17:08 UTC

the middle or inner part of a structure or body part

Lateral

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:18:55 UTC

Lateral refers to the side of something, specifically in anatomy, the outer or away from the midline of the body

Anatomical position

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:26:22 UTC

The anatomical position is a standardized reference posture used in anatomy and medicine to describe the location of body structures.

Distal

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:28:01 UTC

a body part or structure that is situated farther

Proximal

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:29:38 UTC

In anatomical terminology, a proximal position is closer to the point of attachment or the origin of a limb or structure

transverse plane

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:32:29 UTC

The term "transverse plane" refers to a horizontal, or axial plane, that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions, running parallel to the ground in an upright person.

midsagittal plane

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:34:24 UTC

The term for the midsagittal plane can also be median plane, mid-sagittal plane, or mid-sagittal line.

frontal plane

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:42:00 UTC

The main term for the frontal plane is the coronal plane.

flexion

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:43:20 UTC

the movement or action of reducing the angle between two body parts, effectively bending them closer together.

extension

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:44:16 UTC

An extension term is an extended period added to the original time frame of a contract, loan, lease, or other obligation, allowing for continued activity or repayment under new or unchanged conditions

pronation

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:45:29 UTC

Pronation is the rotational movement of a body part, such as the forearm or foot, where the palm or sole faces downward or inward.

supination

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:46:22 UTC

Supination is a rotational movement of the forearm, hand, or foot that turns the palm or sole upward or forward

elevation

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:48:02 UTC

In medical terminology, "elevation" refers to the movement of a body part upward or higher.

depression

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:52:02 UTC

Apply constant direct pressure and elevate the area for a full 15 minutes. Use a watch: 15 minutes may seem like a long time. Resist the urge to check after a few minutes to see if the bleeding has stopped. If the blood soaks through the cloth, apply another one without lifting the first one.

internal rotation

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:54:04 UTC

To internal rotate is to rotate a limb or body part around its long axis toward the midline of the body,

external rotation

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:56:50 UTC

External rotation is a type of movement in which a body part, such as a limb, rotates away from the center of the body

circumduction

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:58:02 UTC

Circumduction is the movement of a body region in a circular manner, in which one end of the body region being moved stays relatively stationary while the other end describes a circle

Plantar flexion

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:58:53 UTC

Plantar flexion is a movement of the foot in which the toes point downwards and the heel rises.

dorsiflexion

djgutierrezgaona — 2025-10-01 13:59:44 UTC

Dorsiflexion is the backward bending or upward movement of the foot at the ankle joint, where the toes and the top surface of the foot move closer to the shin.
