skeletal system

Cards (10)

  • abduction
    Movement of limbs away from the midline of the body
  • adduction
    Movement of limbs toward the midline of the body
  • horizontal abduction
    moving limbs toward back of body horizontally
  • horizontal adduction
    moving limbs to front of body horizontally
  • flexion and extension and hyperextension
    flexion - decreasing angle at a joint
    extension - increasing angle at a joint
    hyperextension - increasing angle beyond 180*
  • what movements occur in frontal plane with sagittal axis
    abduction and adduction
    frontal plane = divides into front and back
    sagittal axis = front to back
  • what movements occur in transverse plane and longitudinal axis

    horizontal abduction and horizontal adduction
    transverse plane = divides upper and lower
    longitudinal axis = top to bottom
  • movements is sagitall plane and transverse axis

    flexion, extension, hyperextension, plantar flexion and dorsi
    sagittal plane = divides body into left and right
    transverse axis = side to side
  • plantar and dorsi flexion
    plantar = pointing toes
    dorsi = pulling toes up towards sky
  • joint types and their articulating bones
    shoulder = ball&socket = humerus, scapula
    hip = ball&socket = femur pelvis
    elbow = hinge = humerus, radius , ulna
    knee = hinge = femur, tibia
    ankle = hinge = tibia, fibula , talus
