Anatomical Opposites

1. Anatomical Opposites 1. anterior vs. posterior 2. superior vs. inferior 3. medial vs. lateral 4. proximal vs. distal 5. palmar vs. plantar 6. abduction vs. adduction 7. eversion vs. inversion 8. internal rotation vs. external rotation 9. flexion vs. extension 10. plantar flexion vs. dorsiflexion 11. radial deviation vs. ulnar deviation *The terms in italics have been on previous vocabulary lists… and should be in your notes!

2. Anatomical Opposites Foldable • Create a foldable using a white sheet of paper. 1. Hold the paper the long way (portrait layout or “hot dog”) 2. Fold the ends until they meet in the middle, creating two long columns 3. Measure one inch sections and draw a line across both front flaps 4. Cut the sections to create 11 flaps 5. Write one anatomical term on one flap and the opposite term on the flap directly across 6. Draw a picture underneath the flap to represent the definition. SEE MS. BROWN FOR AN EXAMPLE

4. Anatomical Position Stand straight up with palms forward

5. Anterioror front - EX. Knees are located on the anterior surface of the body Posterioror back - EX. Scapula is located on the posterior surface of the body

6. Superior – upper or above another. - EX: The head is superior to the feet Inferior – lower or below another. - EX: The feet are inferior to the head.

7. Medial – toward the mid-line of the body • Lateral – away from the mid-line of the body

8. Proximal – toward the point of attachment to the body • Distal – Away from the point of attachment to the body

9. Palmar – palm of hand Plantar – bottom of foot

10. Abduction – To move away or deviate from the midline of the body Adduction – deviate toward or draw toward the midline of the body

11. Eversion – turning outward Inversion – turning inward

12. External rotation – rotary motion in the transverse plane away from the midline Internal Rotation – rotary motion in the transverse plane toward the midline internal rotation external rotation

13. Flexion – to bend; when a joint is flexed, the part distal to the joint bends Extension – To straighten; when the part distal to a joint extends and decreases joint angle

14. Plantar flexion – movement of ankle downward Dorsiflexion – movement of ankle upward

15. Radial Deviation – Wrist abduction Ulnar Deviation – Wrist adduction

17. Retraction – to pull in a backward motion Protraction – to elevate and push towards the frontal plane protractionretraction

18. Rotation – movement around an axis

19. Lateral bending – movement from the midline in the frontal plane, occurs in the neck and back

20. Pronation–the palm is turned downward; laying on your stomach supination Supination – the palm is turned upward; laying on your back pronation
