Document Summary
Anatomical position: upper limbs in a neutral position with palms forward (males- penis is erect) Directional terms: (always relative to anatomical position) always relates to the patients left or right. Anterior/ventral: closer to the front of the body. Posterior/dorsal: closer to the back of the body. Medial: closer to the midline of the body. Lateral: further from the midline of the body. Sagittal plane separates body into left and right. Coronal plane separates the body into anterior/ventral and posterior/dorsal. Transverse (axial) plane separates body into superior/cranial and inferior/caudal. Abduction: draws limbs away (abducts) from the body. Adduction: brings limb back (adds) towards the body. Medial/internal rotation: rotates limb towards midline of the body. Lateral/external rotation: rotates limb away from midline the body. Circumduction: refers to a conical movement of the body part- such as a ball and socket joint or the eye. Is a combination of flexion, extension, adduction, abduction tibia tibia. Inversion: sole of foot moves towards sagittal plane.
