Terminology
Across
- 6. a long edge on a flat bone, such as the medial border of the scapula.
- 8. a very large, protruding projection, such as the greater trochanter of the femur.
- 10. movement of the hand and forearm medially, generally toward palm down.
- 12. the front of the body or the front of a body part or closer to the front,
- 13. closer to the midline or mid-sagittal plane.
- 17. moving the foot so the toes point toward the nose.
- 22. located on or pertaining to the same side of the body.
- 23. plane that divides the body into upper and lower portions
- 26. increasing the angle between between bones aka straightening.
- 29. movement of the arm along the transverse plane toward the body.
- 30. refers to the bottom of the foot.
- 31. plane that divides the body into front and back
- 32. movement anterior or forward. Applies to scapula and mandible.
- 33. a smaller, rounded projection found above a condyle, such as the medial epicondyle of the femur.
Down
- 1. below or closer to the feet. Also not typically applied to extremities.
- 2. a prominent ridge or elongated projection, such as the iliac crest.
- 3. a large, usually roughened projection, such as the gluteal tuberosity of the femur.
- 4. movement of the wrist toward the pinky side of the forearm.
- 5. an abrupt change of direction on the border of a flat bone, such as the superior angle of the scapula.
- 7. turning toward the midline in an inward direction.
- 9. means two sided.
- 11. movement away from the midline or out to the side of the body.
- 14. movement in which the sole of the foot moves toward the midline.
- 15. a standard body position that is used to give us a consistent orientation to the body from which directional terms are referenced.
- 16. axis that goes side to side, perpendicular to sagittal plane. Typically flexion and extension movements.
- 18. closer to the surface of the body.
- 19. closer to the core/trunk. Generally used when describing a location on a limb.
- 20. a sharp, pointed projection, such as the styloid process of the ulna.
- 21. axis that goes up and down, perpendicular to transverse plane. Typically rotational movements.
- 24. plane that divides the body into right and left
- 25. a rounded articulating projection, supported by the constructed, neck-like portion of a long bone, such as the head of the humerus.
- 27. lying on back
- 28. a long, raised ridge, such as the spine of the scapula.
