Terminology

4. extension beyond anatomical position
5. a long edge on a flat bone, such as the medial border of the scapula.
6. turning toward the midline in an inward direction.
9. movement of the wrist toward the pinky side of the forearm.
10. the front of the body or the front of a body part or closer to the front,
12. a very large, protruding projection, such as the greater trochanter of the femur.
13. a rounded articulating projection, supported by the constructed, neck-like portion of a long bone, such as the head of the humerus.
15. a sharp, pointed projection, such as the styloid process of the ulna.
16. lying on side
19. movement in which the sole of the foot moves toward the midline.
20. movement anterior or forward. Applies to scapula and mandible.
26. refers to the bottom of the foot.
30. moving the foot so the toes point toward the nose.
31. plane that divides the body into front and back
32. movement away from the midline or out to the side of the body.
33. a scapular movement in which it turns so the glenoid fossa turns upward.
34. plane that divides the body into upper and lower portions
35. a smaller, rounded projection found above a condyle, such as the medial epicondyle of the femur.
36. plane that divides the body into right and left

1. movement of the arm along the transverse plane toward the body.
2. closer to the core/trunk. Generally used when describing a location on a limb.
3. a prominent ridge or elongated projection, such as the iliac crest.
7. closer to the surface of the body.
8. means two sided.
11. increasing the angle between between bones aka straightening.
14. a long, raised ridge, such as the spine of the scapula.
17. below or closer to the feet. Also not typically applied to extremities.
18. lying on back
21. a large, usually roughened projection, such as the gluteal tuberosity of the femur.
22. movement of the hand and forearm medially, generally toward palm down.
23. an abrupt change of direction on the border of a flat bone, such as the superior angle of the scapula.
24. located on or pertaining to the same side of the body.
25. axis that goes up and down, perpendicular to transverse plane. Typically rotational movements.
27. closer to the midline or mid-sagittal plane.
28. a standard body position that is used to give us a consistent orientation to the body from which directional terms are referenced.
29. axis that goes side to side, perpendicular to sagittal plane. Typically flexion and extension movements.
