Axial (Upper Body) Skull, spine, ribs, sternum
Appendicular ( Lower Body Arms and legs, Pevis, shoulders
Mass Quantity of matter in it
Force the push or pull that exerted an objecct
Friction Force created by an object's contact with the ground as it moves
Centripetal Force Any force exerted on an object that is moving in a circle
Inertia Any object's resistance to change in velocity
Velocity Measure of speed in one direction of an object
Acceleration Measure of the rate of change in velocity over a certain period of time
Momentum Tendency that any object has to continue moving
Median plane Extends from the top of the head down and divides the body into symmetrical
halves (right and left)
Sagittal Plane runs parallel to the median plane
Flexion movement movement that takes the body forwards in the standing position
Extension movement movement that takes the body backwards and occurs in the sagittal plane
Frontal/Coronal Plane runs perpendicular to the median plane, divides the body into the left and right
halves
Adduction movement in the frontal plane, moves the body part towards the median
Abduction movement that takes the body part away from the median.
, Lateral Flexion Bending to either side, movement in the lateral plane away from the median
Transverse/Horizontal Planes of movement that divides the body into upper and lower halves
Superior halves Upper
Inferior halves Lower
