human anatomy - ANSWER The study of the structures that make up the human body
and how those structures relate to each other
cartilaginous [joint classification] - ANSWER Slightly movable joints allow a slight
amount of movement.
synovial joints [joint classification] - ANSWER Freely movable joints allow a wide range
of movements.
hinge (ginglymus) joint - ANSWER This type of joint has one articulating surface that is
convex and another is concave.
pivot joint - ANSWER One bone rotates around one axis.
condyloid joint - ANSWER The joint surfaces are usually oval, as in the joint between
your third metacarpal and proximal phalanx of your third digit.
saddle joint - ANSWER The bones are set together as in sitting on a horse.
ball and socket joint - ANSWER A rounded bone is fitted into a cup like receptacle.
plane (gliding) joint - ANSWER The joint permits gliding movement.
synovial capsule - ANSWER An envelope surrounding a synovial joint.
lateral - ANSWER Farther from the medial plane (midline)
medial - ANSWER Nearer to the medial plane (midline)
superficial - ANSWER Nearer to the surface of the body
anterior (ventral) - ANSWER Nearer to the front
posterior (dorsal) - ANSWER Nearer to the back
superior - ANSWER Nearer to the top of the head (transverse plane)
deep - ANSWER Farther from the surface of the body
distal - ANSWER Farther from the trunk
proximal - ANSWER Nearer to the trunk
supine - ANSWER Laying on your back
prone - ANSWER Laying face down
inferior - ANSWER Nearer to the feet
median plane (midsagittal plane) - ANSWER A vertical plane that bisects the body into
right and left halves
sagittal plane - ANSWER Any plane parallel to the median plane
frontal plane (coronal plane) - ANSWER Any vertical plane at the right angles to the
median plane (separate anterior and posterior)
transverse plane (or horizontal plane) - ANSWER Any plane at the right angle of both
median and frontal plane (separate superior and inferior)
sagittal plane movement - ANSWER Movement that are parallel to the sagittal plane
(flexion and extension)
, frontal plane movement - ANSWER Movement that are parallel to the front planes
(lateral/side-to-side movements)
transverse plane movements - ANSWER Movement that are parallel to the transverse
(horizontal) plane (twisting, rotation, etc.)
flexion - ANSWER Reduces the angle between two bones at a joint
extension - ANSWER Increases the angle between two bones at a joint
abduction - ANSWER Movement away from the midline
adduction - ANSWER Movement toward the midline
circumduction - ANSWER A cone-shaped movement that does not include any rotation
rotation - ANSWER The action of rotating around an axis or center.
medial (or internal) rotation - ANSWER Rotational movement toward the midline
lateral (external) rotation - ANSWER Rotational movement away from the midline
supination - ANSWER When the palm is moved to face anteriorly
pronation - ANSWER When the palm is moved to face posteriorly
inversion - ANSWER When the sole of the foot is turned inward
eversion - ANSWER When the sole of the foot is turned outward
dorsiflexion - 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 - 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 - ANSWER Type of bone shaped to serve as a good shock absorber (e.g.,
wrist bone)
long bone - ANSWER Type of bone that has proximal and distal enlargements (e.g.,
femur)
flat bone - ANSWER Type of bone that largely protects underlying organs and
provides areas for muscle attachment (e.g., scapula)
irregular bone - ANSWER Type of bone that performs a special function (e.g.,
vertebrae)
sesamoid bone - ANSWER Type of bone shaped like a pea and found in tendons
(e.g., patella)
porous - ANSWER Bones that have a smaller proportion of calcium phosphate and
carbonate, and greater non-mineralized tissue
cortical bone - ANSWER Bone that has a low porosity, it is less flexible and can resist
greater stress
spongy (cancellous) bone - ANSWER Bone that has high porosity, a characteristic
honeycomb structure and provides move flexibility.
axial skeleton - ANSWER Composed of skull, vertebrae, ribs, and sternum
appendicular skeleton - ANSWER Composed of pectoral, pelvic girdles, upper and
lower limbs.
calvaria [skull] - ANSWER Skullcap, upper part of the skull that covers the brain
face [skull] - ANSWER Give it its individuality and provides protection for the eyes and
air passages, as well as allow chewing.
parietal bone [calvaria] - ANSWER
temporal bone [calvaria] - ANSWER
occipital bone [calvaria] - ANSWER
sphenoid bone [calvaria] - ANSWER
