1. Dorsal

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:43:52 UTC

relating to the back or posterior of a structure.

2. Ventral

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:46:17 UTC

The front part of the body.

3. Superior

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:47:59 UTC

Toward the head end of the body.

4. Inferior

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:48:44 UTC

Away from the head end of the body.

5/6 Prone/supine

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:50:57 UTC

prone is laying face down on stomach, supine is laying face up on back.

7/8 medial/lateral

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:54:09 UTC

medial is towards the center of the body, and lateral is away from the center of the body.

9. Anatomical Position

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:55:39 UTC

In the anatomical position, the body is upright, directly facing the observer, feet flat and directed forward. The upper limbs are at the body's sides with the palms facing forward

10/11 distal/proximal

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 11:58:32 UTC

Proximal - toward or nearest the trunk or the point of origin of a part

Distal - away from or farthest from the trunk or the point or origin of a part

12/13 transverse plane/midsagittal plane

gateodor1 — 2024-09-12 12:04:05 UTC

The transverse plane (also known as the horizontal plane, axial plane and transaxial plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections.

The midsagittal plane divides the body into two left and right sections.

15/16 flexion/extension

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:26:05 UTC

Flexion is a movement that causes the angle between two bones of a joint to decrease, such as when a person bends their elbow joint. Extension is a movement that causes the angle between two bones of joint to increase, such as when a person straightens their elbow joint.

14. frontal plane

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:30:18 UTC

A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions.

17/18 pronation/supination

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:33:07 UTC

pronation- laying face down with stomach on ground.

supination- laying on back with head facing up.

19/20 elevation/depression

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:36:03 UTC

upward movement is elevation while downwards movement is depression.

21/22 internal rotation/external rotation

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:38:16 UTC

Internal shoulder rotation involves rotating your upper arm toward the front side of your torso. External rotation involves rotating it away from the front side of your torso.

23. circumduction

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:40:34 UTC

the movement of the limb, hand, or fingers in a circular pattern, using the sequential combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction motions.

24/25 plantar flexion/dorsiflexion

gateodor1 — 2024-09-13 02:42:50 UTC

Dorsiflexion occurs when the ankle bends raising the toes upward, and this decreases the angle between the dorsal side of the foot and the tibia. Plantar flexion occurs when the ankle bends in the direction that points the toes and plantar side of the foot downward.
