CorePower TT Anatomy I & II
abduction - ANS-to draw apart; moves away from midline of the body
adduction - ANS-to draw together, moves towards the midline of the body
The adductor group, or ANS group of five muscles, supports Mula Bandha (the abdominal and
core muscles). agonist is the primary ANS muscle that controls the desired joint motion.
anatomic position - ANS-a consistent reference posture where you stand tall with your arms
beside your sides, and your palms and head all face forwards
Anatomy - ANS-dissection. the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of
humans
antagonist - ANS-muscles directly opposite, on the other side of the joint
anterior - ANS - in the direction of your front body autonomic nervous system - ANS-has two
branches, sympathetic and parasympathetic
Because there is movement in all three planes, the ball and socket (ANS) hip and shoulder
joints have the greatest mobility of any joint. biceps, which run along the front of the humerus,
are ANS. biomechanics - ANS-study of how forces impact a living organism
central nervous system - ANS-integrating and command center of the nevcous system; consists
of bran and spinal cord
circumduction - ANS-circular movement, combining flexion, extension, adduction and
abduction. not to be confused with rotation
ANS collagen is made of protein, is firm, strong, and doesn't stretch. compression - ANS-when
solid matter makes contact with another piece of solid matter and this contact stops the range of
motion
concentric - while muscle shortens, ANS-tension is created contralateral - ANS-on the opposite
side of your body
deltoids - ANS-shoulder muscles, posterior, lateral, anterior
depression - ANS: Move your feet down, like removing your shoulders from your ears.
diaphragm - ANS-dome shaped muscle that divides ribs from abdomen horizontally through the
center of the body; contracts short and pulls down (flattens) to create more space in the lung
cavity during an inhalation
away from the trunk (referring to the arms and legs) is distal, or ANS. dorsiflexion - ANS-moving
the top of the foot toward the shin, commonly referred to as flexing
eccentric - ANS-tension created while muscle lengthens
elastin - ANS-made up of fibers that are thin, stretchy and flexible like elastic
elevation - ANS - to lift one's head upward, as in to lift one's shoulders toward one's ears
erector spine - ANS-run parallel to the spine on each side to help keep the spine erect
eversion - ANS-moving the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body- a combination of
abduction and pronation of the foot and ankle
extension - ANS-movement that straightens or opens a joint
exteroceptors - ANS-take in external stimuli
abduction - ANS-to draw apart; moves away from midline of the body
