Sagittal Plane - CORRECT ANSWER - Splits the body into right and left halves



Action that occurs in the sagittal plane - CORRECT ANSWER - flexion and extension



Frontal/coronal plane - CORRECT ANSWER - Splits the body into anterior and posterior
parts

Transverse plane - CORRECT ANSWER - splits the body into superior and inferior parts



Actions that occur in the transverse plane - CORRECT ANSWER - rotational movements



Longitudinal section - CORRECT ANSWER - runs lengthwise or parallel to long axis of body



Transverse or cross section - CORRECT ANSWER - slices of body or its parts cut at right
angles to longitudinal axis


A transverse section of the foot lies in the ______________ plane due to the long axis of the foot
running horizontally - CORRECT ANSWER - Frontal

,Oblique section - CORRECT ANSWER - slices of the body or its parts cut at an oblique angle
not along longitudinal or transverse planes


Flexion and extension of the thumb occur in what plane and why: - CORRECT ANSWER -
frontal plane because it is technically an AB/AD movement

ligaments, deep fascia, aponeuroses


Superficial fascia - CORRECT ANSWER - loose irregular connective tissue that underlies the
dermis of the skin. Contains variable amounts of fat and superficial nerves (cutaneous), vessels
(i.e. great and small saphenous veins) and lymph nodes (i.e. inguinal)


Deep fascia - CORRECT ANSWER - dense regular connective tissue that inverses muscles,
separates the muscles into compartments, retains tendons, and reduces friction around tendons to
allow movement.
