BIOL1300 Lecture Notes - Lateral Meniscus, Basilic Vein, Gangrene
Document Summary
Anatomic position: all terms are in reference to this position, standing/lying supine with palms and feet forward. Anatomic planes: median (midsaggital) divides into left and right halves, saggital parallel to the median (infinite number, frontal (coronal) divides into front and back halves, transverse (horizontal) divides into top, bottom (infinite number) Radiology slides: able to see fracture, screws accurately from saggital cross- section but not frontal. Terms of relationship: superior (rostral, cephalic) /inferior (caudal, anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal, extrinsic/intrinsic, valgus/varus bone distal to the joint deviates away from /towards the midline. 1) pick joint 2)look at bone distal to joint 3) look at long axis: towards or away: superficial/deep, bilateral/unilateral. Weak hip on one side leg contralateral will sag . Terms of movement: flexion/extension occurs in saggital plane (bending/straightening) Description of action includes name of body segment/joint/bone (not only motion, but where motion takes place)
