Human Anatomy Case Study 1

HUMAN ANATOMY CASE STUDY 1
Human anatomy - correct answer- The study of the structures that make up the human body and how
those structures relate to each other

Anantomical Position - correct answer- The position of the human body that is used as a point of
reference in anatomy.

Lateral - correct answer- Farther from the medial plane (midline)

Medial - correct answer- Nearer to the medial plane (midline)

Superficial - correct answer- Nearer to the surface of the body

Anterior (ventral) - correct answer- Nearer to the front of the body

Posterior (dorsal) - correct answer- Nearer to the back of the body

Superior - correct answer- Nearer to the top of the head (transverse plane)

Deep - correct answer- Farther from the surface of the body

Distal - correct answer- Farther from the trunk of the body

Proximal - correct answer- Nearer to the trunk of the body

Supine - correct answer- Laying on your back

Prone - correct answer- Laying face down

Inferior - correct answer- Nearer to the feet

Midsagittal (median) plane - correct answer- A vertical plane that bisects the body into right and left
halves

Sagittal plane - correct answer- Any plane parallel to the median plane

Frontal plane (coronal plane) - correct answer- Any vertical plane at the right angles to the median
plane (separate anterior and posterior)

Transverse plane (or horizontal plane) - correct answer- Any plane at the right angle of both median
and frontal plane (separate superior and inferior)

Sagittal plane movement - correct answer- Movement that are parallel to the sagittal plane (flexion and
extension)

, Frontal plane movement - correct answer- Movement that are parallel to the front planes (lateral/side-
to-side movements)

Transverse plane movements - correct answer- Movement that are parallel to the transverse
(horizontal) plane (twisting, rotation, etc.)

Flexion - correct answer- Reduces the angle between two bones at a joint

Extension - correct answer- Increases the angle between two bones at a joint

Hyperextension - correct answer- The forceful extension of a limb/body part or joint beyond its normal
limits.

Abduction - correct answer- Movement away from the midline of the body

Adduction - correct answer- Movement toward the midline of the body

Circumduction - correct answer- A cone-shaped movement that does not include any rotation

Rotation - correct answer- The action of rotating around an axis or center.

Lateral flexion - correct answer- The lateral movement of the torso and head in the frontal plane

Ulnar deviation - correct answer- Movement of the wrist towards the ulna or medial side

Radial deviation - correct answer- Movement of the wrist towards the radius or lateral side

Internal (medial) rotation - correct answer- Rotational movement toward the midline

External (lateral) rotation - correct answer- Rotational movement away from the midline

Supination - correct answer- When the palm is moved to face anteriorly

Pronation - correct answer- When the palm is moved to face posteriorly

Inversion - correct answer- When the sole of the foot is turned inward

Eversion - correct answer- When the sole of the foot is turned outward

Dorsiflexion - correct answer- Motion of bringing the top of the foot toward the shin, or movement of
the ankle so that the dorsal surface of the foot moves superiorly

Plantar flexion - correct answer- Motion of bringing the top of the foot away from the shin, or
movement of the ankle so that the dorsal surface of the foot move inferiorly

Short bone - correct answer- Type of bone shaped to serve as a good shock absorber (e.g., wrist bone)

Long bone - correct answer- Type of bone that has proximal and distal enlargements (e.g., femur)
