Document Summary
Regions of the body include the: o head/neck: upper limb (extremity, thorax, back, abdomen, pelvis, perineum, lower limb (extremity) Everything facing forward: palms supinated, ankles dorsiflexed and toes facing forward. 3 major ones are all 90 to each other: sagittal planes run anterior to posterior. Proximal = towards the centre/trunk of the body. Distal = away from the centre/trunk of the body. Anterior = the front of the body. Dorsal = another word for posterior (back of body) Caudal = towards the tail (or butt for humans) Dorsal = a surface facing superiorly (up) Motion is parallel to the sagittal plane. Flexion is decreasing the angle between two segments, extension is increasing the angle. Movement is parallel to the transverse plane. Internal can also be referred to as medial rotation and external as lateral rotation. Teacher"s example: similar to a door opening. Both rotate on the superior-inferior axis (hinges) and move parallel to the transverse plane (the floor)
