KP221 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Omohyoid Muscle, Jazz Hands, Sesamoid Bone
Document Summary
Anterior view is looking head on to the person. Posterior view is looking at the back of the person. Median plane: the middle plane slicing between the nostrils. Sagittal plane: you cannot tell left from right, only up and down. Transverse plan (axial): the center plane splitting body from top half and bottom half. You can tell left and right and front from back. ***what is the difference between sagittal and median plane*** They are the same thing just median is right down the middle. Frontal plane: (coronal) the middle plane splitting anterior and posterior. Anatomical position is standing up straight legs apart and palms face forward. Proximal: closer to origin of limb (relative to trunk) Distal: farther to origin of limb (relative to trunk) Inversion: plantar (bottom) side of foot goes inward. Eversion: plantar (bottom) side of foot goes outside. Pronation: palmar side of hand turning down. Supination: palmar side of hand turning up.
