Definitions for various anatomical terms related to planes, positions, and joints of the human body. Topics include the transverse, frontal, and sagittal planes, superior and inferior positions, anterior and posterior positions, distal and proximal locations, superficial and deep layers, and various joints such as the glenohumeral, shoulder girdle, acetabefemoral, tibiofemoral, radiocarpal, supine, prone, pronation, supination, and patellofemoral joints. Also covered are terms for movements such as protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, internal rotation, and external rotation.

The transverse plane is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 facing either front or back of a person or body part TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 looking at the side of a person TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 observed when looking down or up at a person TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 A sagittal plane is an anatomical plane which divides the body into right and left halves.
separates the body into equal anterior and posterior halves TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 located above another part of the body TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 located below another part of the body TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 located toward the front of the body TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 located toward the back of the body
located on the same side of a body part relative to another body part. TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 an imaginary line running down the middle of the body which separates the body into right and left halves. TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 closer to the midline of the body TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 away from the midline of the body TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 The shoulder joint is a multiaxial synovial ball and socket joint and involves articulation between the glenoid cavity of the scapula (shoulder blade) and the head of the humerus (upper arm bone).shoulder joint- created by the scapula and the head of the humerus
The shoulder girdle or pectoral girdle is the set of bones which connects the arm to the axial skeleton on each side.created by the clavicle and the scapula TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 "hip joint'created between the acetabulum and the pelvis and the head of the femur TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 'knee joint'created between the femoral condyles and the tibial plateaus TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 'wrist joint'created primarily between the radius and proximal row of the carpal bones, however the ulna does articulate with the carpal bones as well to form the ulnocarpal joint. TERM 25
DEFINITION 25 lying on one's back
also part of the knee joint as the patella tracks along the femoral condylesThe knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia, and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint). TERM 32
DEFINITION 32 known as the ankle joint. created between the distal end of the tibia fibula and the talusThe ankle, or the talocrural region, is the region where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the inferior tibiofibular joint. TERM 33
DEFINITION 33 created between the inferior talus and superior calcaneusIn human anatomy, the subtalar joint, also known as the talocalcaneal joint, is a joint of the foot. It occurs at the meeting point of the talus and the calcaneus. TERM 34
DEFINITION 34 movement of scapula away from the midline of the body TERM 35
DEFINITION 35 movement of the scapula toward the midline of the body
movement of the scapula superiorly TERM 37
DEFINITION 37 movement of the scapula inferiorly TERM 38
DEFINITION 38 motions that occur along the sagittal plane rotate around TERM 39
DEFINITION 39 movement which brings the segment toward middle of the body and always occurs on the frontal plane TERM 40
DEFINITION 40 movement which moves the segment away from midline of the body and always occurs on the frontal plane.
movement which brings the segment away from the midline of the body and always occurs on the transverse plane. TERM 47
DEFINITION 47 only to the wrist joint, movement in which the hand moves toward the radial bone TERM 48
DEFINITION 48 only to the wrist joint, movement in which the hand moves toward the ulnar bone TERM 49
DEFINITION 49 movement of the subtalar joint such that the calcaneus moves outward away from the midline
