  1. KinesiologyUnit 2 Anatomical Positions

  2. Anatomical Position: Definition: Reference point to describe the location of anatomical parts & to describe & explain human movement

  3. Anatomical Position (continues) • Body – erect & facing observer • Arms – at side with palms of hands facing forward

  4. Anatomical Position (continues) • Supine – Lying on your back • Prone – Lying face down

  5. Anatomical Directional Terms: • Anterior – nearer to or in front of the body • Posterior – nearer to or at the back of the body

  6. Anatomical Directional Terms (continues) • Superior – nearer the head • Inferior – farther away from the head

  7. Anatomical Directional Terms (continues) • Lateral – farther away from the midline of the body or structure • Medial – closer to the midline of the body or structure

  8. Anatomical Directional Terms (continues) • Proximal – nearer to the attachment of a limb or extremity to the trunk • Distal – farther away from the attachment of a limb or extremity to the trunk • Superficial – near the surface of the body • Deep – farther away from the surface of the body

  9. Anatomical Planes: 1.Sagittal Plane – vertical plane, divides body into left & right • Midsagittal Plane – if the masses of the halves are equal

  10. Anatomical Planes (continues) 2.Frontal Plane – vertical plane, divides body into anterior & posterior • Midfrontal Plane – if the masses of the halves are equal

  11. Anatomical Planes (continues) 3.Transverse Plane – horizontal plane, divides body into superior & inferior parts • Midtransverse Plane – if the masses of the two parts are equal

  12. Anatomical Planes (continues)

  13. Movements: • Flexion – decreasing the angle between two joints • Extension – increasing the angle between two joints • Hyperextension – occurs beyond extended position

  14. Movements (continues) • Abduction – moving away from the midline of the body or body part • Adduction – moving toward midline of body or body part

  15. Movements (continues) • Elevation – moving to superior position • Depression – moving to inferior position

  16. Movements (continues) • Supination – rotating forearm laterally • Pronation – rotating forearm medially

  17. Movements (continues) • Inversion – lifting the medial border of the foot • Eversion – lifting the lateral border of the foot

  18. Movements (continues) • Dorsiflexion – moving the top of the foot toward the shin • Plantar flexion – moving the sole of the foot downward (pointing toes)

  19. Movements (continues) • Circumduction – flexion, abduction, extension & adduction in a sequence

  20. Movements (continues) • Rotation – Turning about the vertical axis of the bone

  21. End of Unit
