Document Summary

Module 1: introduction, soft tissues, shoulder and elbow: introduction to anatomy and osteology. Legs are together with the feet parallel so that the toes point forwards. Arms hang by the sides with palms facing forward. 1. 2 define the following terms of position and direction which are related to the standardised anatomical position. Passes from the body from front to back. Divides the body into a right and life portion: median (midsagittal) plane. A sagittal plane that passes through the midline. Divides body into two symmetrical right and left halves. Parasagittal plane = not on midline: coronal (frontal) plane. Passes through the body from top to bottom. Lies at right angles to the sagittal plane. Divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) parts: transverse (horizontal plane) Divides the body into top (superior) and bottom (inferior) parts: anterior; posterior (ventral; dorsal) Anterior (ventral): to the front or in front: example; the patella lies anterior to the knee joint.
