2. Power Point Terminology Assignment
Create a PP for each definition that includes a brief written defintion of the term and shows a picture (labeled) of the position or movement.
Place it in the in box for 12 Ldr – Terms
Due for Tues Feb 23rd.
Late projects
10% deducted for each day it is late
After 5 days an incomplete will be given and you will come in during a noon or recess until it is completed.

3. Anatomy
THE STUDY OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE BODY. Naming the parts of the body. In mechanics it would mean knowing the parts of the car

4. Exercise Physiology
The study of how exercise affects our body’s functions. The physiology of a car would mean knowing how the parts work. How the cylinders and rods work to make the engine go…

5. Planes and Axis Sagittal plane – forward and backward movements
Frontal plane – sideways movements
Transverse plane – horizontal movements
Axis are points around which we rotate
Longitudinal Axis – is vertical running head to toe
Antero Posterior Axis – extends from front to back
Horizontal Axis – extends from side to side

6. Anatomical Position
The body is positioned face front, eyes forward, thumb on one arm turned out and toes forward.

7. Flexion & Extension
Flexion – reducing the angle of a joint. Flexion occurs in the Sagittal plane. Ie – bending the elbow is flexion Extension – enlarging the angle of a joint. Extension takes place in the Sagittal plane Straightening the knee is extension

8. Abduction & Adduction
Abduction – moving an arm or leg sideways away from the center of the body. (lateral arm raise) Adduction – is the opposite of abduction, moving an arm or leg from the side toward the center of the body. (the arm outstretched to the side is dropped to your side)

9. Internal/External Rotation
Internal rotation -Rotating your hip, knee and foot toward the midline or in toward the middle. External rotation – rotating your bent arm away from the midline (see below)

10. Circumduction
Making circles with arms straight out. This is really a combination of Flexion, Extension, Abduction and Adduction. Trunk rotations are also an example of Circumduction

11. Supination/Pronation
Supination -Turning your thumb out with palm facing front Pronation –turning your thumb in with the palm facing down

12. Protraction/Retraction
Protraction - movement in a forward direction such as sticking your chin out Retraction - moving in a backward direction such as pushing your shoulders back and squeezing your shoulder blades together

13. Dorsi flexion/Plantar flexion
Dorsi Flexion - Flex the ankle to pull your toes toward your head Plantar Flexion - Standing on your toes. Opposite of Dorsiflexion

14. Inversion/Eversion
Inversion - stand on the out inner edge of your feet Eversion - stand on the outside edge of your feet

15. Elevation/Depression
Elevation - movement in an upward direction such as shrugging the shoulders Depression - movement in a downward direction such as slumping the shoulders

16. Opposition/Reposition
Opposition - touching ones finger (s) to the thumb. Allows us to grasp and manipulate tools Reposition - opposite of opposition. Returning thumb and fingers to normal position

17. Anterior & Posterior
Anterior refers to forward surfaces of the body. Toward the front Posterior refers to back surfaces of the body. Toward the back Ie – the spine is posterior on the body while the eyes are anterior

18. Superior & Inferior
Superior refers to upward surfaces Inferior refers to downward surfaces Ie – the head is superior to the knee while the feet are inferior to the knee

19. Medial & Lateral
Medial means toward the center midline of the body Lateral means away from the midline to the side Ie – Feet apart is movement laterally while feet together is a medial movement

20. Proximal & Distal
Proximal means toward the point of attachment of a limb to the body Distal is the opposite or away from the attachment to the body Ie – the fingers are distal on the arm while the elbow more proximal

21. Superficial & Deep
Superficial means toward the surface of the skin Deep means toward the inner core of the body
