Directions
This bone is more medial in the lower leg: the tibia or fibula
tibia
This plane divides the body into right and left portions
Sagittal plane
This synovial joint primarily allows flexion and extension, like a door
hinge joint
Name one body location containing a hinge joint
elbow or knee
Bending a joint and decreasing the angle between two bones is called this
flexion
This bone is more distal: the radius or humerus
radius
This plane divides the body into front and back portions
frontal plane
the hip and shoulder are examples of this joint
ball and socket joint
Name both locations listed for ball-and-socket joints
hip and shoulder
Straightening a joint and increasing the angle between bones is called this
extension
The patella is located on this side of the knee
anterior
This plane divides the body into upper and lower portions
Transverse plane
This joint type is found at the thumb and permits opposition
saddle joint
pivot joint would be found where
neck
Moving a limb away from the body's midline is called this
abduction
What is the opposite of superficial
deep
Kicking a ball primarily demonstrates movement in this plane
sagittal plane
This type of joint allows bones to slide past one another
gliding joint
The saddle joint featured in the lab is located here
thumb
Moving a limb toward the body's midline is called this
adduction
Give the opposites of all three terms: prone, inferior, distal
supine, superior, proximal
A horizontal view through the hip/pelvis is shown in this plane
transverse plane
This joint type allows rotational movement and is found in the neck
pivot joint
Gliding/planar joints are found in these two general areas
hand and foot
This circular movement of the shoulder combines movement through sagittal and frontal planes
circumduction
