Posterior? - Correct answers ✅ refers to the back of the body or to a position more toward the back. Ventral? - Correct answers ✅ is the synonym for anterior. Dorsal? - Correct answers ✅ if the synonym for posterior. Distal? - Correct answers ✅ away from the trunk. Proximal? - Correct answers ✅ toward the trunk. Superior? - Correct answers ✅ the location of a body part that is above another or to refer to the upper surface of an organ or structure.
Inferior? - Correct answers ✅ the location of a body part that is below another or to refers to the lower surface of an organ or structure. Cranial / cephalad? - Correct answers ✅ refers to a position or structure close to the head (cephal means "head") Caudal? - Correct answers ✅ refers to a position or structure closer to the feet (cauda means "tail") Superficial / Deep? - Correct answers ✅ refers to relative depth in relation to other structures. Supine? - Correct answers ✅ lying down face up Prone? - Correct answers ✅ lying face down Bilateral? - Correct answers ✅ refers to two or both sides of the body Contralateral? - Correct answers ✅ refers to opposite side of the body Ipsilateral? - Correct answers ✅ refers to the same side of the body
Arm? - Correct answers ✅ refers to the humerus Forearm? - Correct answers ✅ refers to the radius and ulna Hand? - Correct answers ✅ refers to everything distal to the wrist Thigh? - Correct answers ✅ refers to the femur Leg? - Correct answers ✅ refers to the tibia and fibula Foot? - Correct answers ✅ anything distal to the ankle Thorax? - Correct answers ✅ is made up of the ribs, sternum, and most thoracic vertebrae Abdomen? - Correct answers ✅ is made up of the pelvis, stomach, and mostly lumbar vertebrae Neck? - Correct answers ✅ is made up of the cervical vertebrae Head? - Correct answers ✅ is made up of the skull
Linear motion? - Correct answers ✅ AKA translatory motion occurs in a more or less straight line from one point to another. All parts of the object move the same distance in the same direction at the same time. Rectilinear? - Correct answers ✅ movement which occurs in a straight line such as a sled, sailboat, or running Curvilinear motion? - Correct answers ✅ Movement which occurs in a curved path such as diving, skiing, or throwing a ball Angular motion? - Correct answers ✅ AKA rotary motion which moves though the same angle, same direction and at the same time but not the same distance. An Object moving around a central axis of rotation. Osteokinematics? - Correct answers ✅ The relationship of the movement of bones around a joint axis Arthrokinematics? - Correct answers ✅ The relationship of joint surface movement Flexion? - Correct answers ✅ The decrease in joint angle Extension? - Correct answers ✅ the increase in joint angle
Hyperextension? - Correct answers ✅ refers to extension beyond the anatomical position Palmar flexion? - Correct answers ✅ AKA wrist flexion moves the palm anterior in anatomical position. Palmar extension? - Correct answers ✅ AKA wrist extension moves the back of the hand posterior in anatomical position. Plantarflexion? - Correct answers ✅ points the toe with movement at the ankle joint Dorsiflexion? - Correct answers ✅ Draws the toes toward the body with movement at the ankle joint. Abduction? - Correct answers ✅ movement away from the midline of the body Adduction? - Correct answers ✅ movement forward the midline of the body Horizontal abduction? - Correct answers ✅ movement of a joint posterior in a transverse plane Horizontal adduction? - Correct answers ✅ movement of a joint anterior in a transverse plane
Radial deviation - Correct answers ✅ AKA abduction as the wrist moves laterally or toward the thumb side in anatomical position Ulnar deviation - Correct answers ✅ AKA adduction as the wrist moves medially or toward the pinky side in anatomical position Lateral bending - Correct answers ✅ As the trunk moves sideways in a frontal plane Circumduction - Correct answers ✅ a circular or cone shaped pattern Medial rotation - Correct answers ✅ AKA internal rotation is rotation of a joint toward the midline of the body Lateral rotation - Correct answers ✅ AKA external rotation is rotation of a joint away from the midline of the body Supination - Correct answers ✅ faces the palm forward or toward the anterior aspect of the body in anatomical position Pronation - Correct answers ✅ faces the palm away or the posterior aspect of the body in anatomical position
Inversion - Correct answers ✅ moving the sole of the foot inward at the ankle Eversion - Correct answers ✅ moving the sole of the foot outward at the ankle Protraction - Correct answers ✅ mostly linear motion running parallel to the ground and away from the midline of the body Retraction - Correct answers ✅ mostly linear motion running parallel to the ground and toward the midline of the body NEXT SECTION! - Correct answers ✅ BASIC BIOMEACHANICS! Mechanics - Correct answers ✅ Physics based dealing with the study of forces and the motion produced by their actions. Biomechanics - Correct answers ✅ Applying the principles and methods of mechanics and applying then to the structure and function of the human body. Mechanics can be divided into two main areas: - Correct answers ✅ -Statics -Dynamics Statics - Correct answers ✅ deals with factors associated with nonmoving or nearly nonmoving systems.
Dynamics - Correct answers ✅ Involves factors associated with moving systems. Dynamics can be divided further into two subgroups: - Correct answers ✅ - Kinetics -Kinematics Kinetics - Correct answers ✅ deals with forces causing movement in a system Kinematics - Correct answers ✅ involves the time space, and mass aspects of a moving system. Kinematics can also be divided into two subgroups: - Correct answers ✅ - Osteokinematics -Arthrokinematics Osteokinematics Focuses? - Correct answers ✅ on the manner in which bones move in space without regard to the movement of joint surfaces. Arthrokinematics Deals with? - Correct answers ✅ the manner in which adjoining joint surfaces move in relation to each other. Force - Correct answers ✅ is a push or pull action that can be presented as a vector.
Vector - Correct answers ✅ is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. i.e. wheelchair Velocity - Correct answers ✅ is a vector that describes speed and is measured in units such as feet per second or miles per hour. Scalar quantity - Correct answers ✅ describes magnitude only. i.e. length (feet), area (acres), volume (oz), and mass (lbs). Mass - Correct answers ✅ refers to the amount of matter that a body contains. Inertia - Correct answers ✅ is the property of matter that causes it to resist any change of its own motion in either speed or direction like a car ride. Mass is a measurement of inertia Torque - Correct answers ✅ is the tendency of force to produce rotation around an axis. Friction - Correct answers ✅ is force developed by two surfaces which tends to prevent motion of one surface across another. 1st law of motion - Correct answers ✅ AKA the law of inertia. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest while objects in motion tend to stay in motion. i.e. car ride

Acceleration - Correct answers ✅ is any change in the velocity of an object. Acceleration can also deal with change in - Correct answers ✅ direction depending on the force applied to it.
