Document Summary

Blood + blood vessels come from the heart. Standing erect, palms and feet face forward. R & l are in reference to person. Prone (head to the side, palms down) Planes of anatomy: frontal plane (coronal) - cut front from back, can be anywhere, midsagittal plane - cut l from r, can be anywhere, transverse plane - cut top from bottom, can be anywhere. **commonly used with cross sectional anatomy, in the transverse plane. Bending or decreasing the angle between body parts (midsagittal plane) Straightening or increasing the angle between body parts (midsagittal plane) Moving away from the midline (abduct= take away) (frontal plane) Moving towards the midline (adduct= add to) (frontal plane) Turning body part around it"s long axis towards midline (transverse plane) Turning body part around it"s long axis away from midline (transverse plane) The act of drawing an anatomical part backwards (scapula and jaw) (shoulder blades drawing together)
