obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:21:33 UTC

The sagittal plane cuts the body vertically down the middle and separates the body into left and right portions

Frontal Plane

obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:22:17 UTC

The frontal plane separates the body into front and back portions

Flexion and Extension

obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:24:03 UTC

Flexion is describing the act of moving bones closer to one another while extension is describing moving the bones farther away from one another

Abduction and Adduction

obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:24:30 UTC

Abduction describes moving body parts away from the center line of the body while adduction describes moving body parts toward the center line of the body

Pronation and Supination

obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:27:53 UTC

Pronation is aligning the arm bones parallel with the palm down and supination is crossing the bones in the arm while the palm is facing up

Elevation and Depression

obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:29:33 UTC

Elevation is the upward movement of body parts and depression is the downward movement of body parts

Internal and external rotation

obcrotts — 2024-09-18 14:31:07 UTC
