Planes of Motion
runs anterior-posterior, dividing the body into left and right sections.
What is the sagital plane?
the reference point for describing structures of the body in relation to each other and refers to a person standing erect with the head, eyes, and palms facing forward.
What is anatomical position?
toward the head.
What is superior?
Organs that function together.
What is a system?
Lifts arms front, side back and overhead.
What are deltoids?
a longitudinal (imaginary) line dividing the body into anterior and posterior sections.
What is the frontal plane?
Flexion, Extension, Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion.
What are movements that occur in the sagittal plane?
toward the back.
What is posterior?
also called the circulatory system, is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
What is the cardiovascular system?
Anterior upper arm, bends the elbow/elbow flexion.
What are biceps?
a imaginary line runs horizontally, dividing the body into superior and inferior sections.
What is the transverse plane?
Abduction, Adduction, Elevation, Depression, Inversion, Eversion.
What are movements that occur in the frontal plane?
away from the midline of the body
What is lateral?
these structures make it possible for the body to exchange gases between the external environment and tissues, provides a means to replace oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
What is respiratory system?
Brings the arms forward/horizontal shoulder flexion/adduction and medial rotation of the arm.
What are pectorals?
Thumb movement unique to humans and primates?
What is opposition?
Rotation, Pronation, Supination, Horizontal Adduction and Horizontal Abduction.
What are movements the occur in the transverse plane?
regional term of the back, referring to the portion between the abdomen and pelvis.
What is lumbar?
is an active living tissue that provides support, movement, protection, storage and formation of blood cells.
What is skeletal system?
Moves the legs back/hip extention and external rotation.
What is gluteus maximus?
“cone” motion; combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction in sequence
What is circumduction?
Circumduction and opposition
What are actions that occur in multiple planes/multiplanar?
top surface of the feet or hands.
What is dorsal?
gathers information, stores it and controls various bodily systems in response to this input.
What is nervous system?
Outer thigh, moves the leg sideways away from the midline of body, hip abduction.
