BSC 1085C Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Metaphysis, Periosteum, Rectus Femoris Muscle
Document Summary
Anatomical position: head facing forward, standing straight-feet together, arms resting to the side, palms facing forward, hips, knees & feet aligned forward. Mapping the body: descriptive terminology: anterior/posterior, superior/inferior, proximal/distal, medial /lateral, dorsal/ventral, cranial/caudal. When we discuss anatomical structures we use these and other descriptors to better orient the audience as to what we are referring to. Give examples of the body-part for each descriptor listed above. Segments of the body are divided into regions so as to better pinpoint location: head/neck, trunk includes the following, thorax. Abdomen: arm/forearm/hand the ue, thigh/lower leg, foot the le. Osteokinematics: (joint movement: flexion/extension of the shoulder, shdr abduction/adduction, shdr horizontal abduction/adduction, shdr internal rotation/ext. rotation, shdr protraction/retraction, pronation/supination of the forearm, ulnar/radial deviation-of the wrist, circumduction-of the wrist, neck rotation rt/lt, hip rotation. Function of the skeleton: axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton, structures of bone, diaphysis, epiphysis, epiphyseal plate (growth plate, metaphysis, medullary canal, periosteum.
