Anatomical Opposites1. anterior vs. posterior2. superior vs. inferior3. medial vs. lateral4. proximal vs. distal5. palmar vs. plantar6. abduction vs.

adduction7. eversion vs. inversion

8. internal rotation vs. external rotation

9. flexion vs. extension10. plantar flexion vs.

dorsiflexion11. radial deviation vs.

ulnar deviation

*The terms in italics have been on previous vocabulary lists…and should be in your notes!

Anatomical Opposites Foldable• Create a foldable using a white sheet of paper.1. Hold the paper the long way (portrait layout or “hot dog”)2. Fold the ends until they meet in the middle, creating two

long columns3. Measure one inch sections and draw a line across both

front flaps4. Cut the sections to create 11 flaps 5. Write one anatomical term on one flap and the opposite

term on the flap directly across6. Draw a picture underneath the flap to represent the

definition.SEE MS. BROWN FOR AN EXAMPLE

Anatomical PositionStand straight up with palms forward

Anterior or front- EX. Knees are located on the anterior surface of the bodyPosterior or back- EX. Scapula is located on the posterior surface of the body

Superior – upper or above another.- EX: The head is superior to the feet

Inferior – lower or below another.- EX: The feet are inferior to the head.

Medial – toward the mid-line of the bodyLateral – away from the mid-line of the body

Proximal – toward the point of attachment to the bodyDistal – Away from the point of attachment to the body

Palmar – palm of hand

Plantar – bottom of foot

Abduction – To move away or deviate from the midline of the bodyAdduction – deviate toward or draw toward the midline of the body

Eversion – turning outward

Inversion – turning inward

External rotation – rotary motion in the transverse plane away from the midline

Internal Rotation – rotary motion in the transverse plane toward the midline

internal rotation external rotation

Flexion – to bend; when a joint is flexed, the part distal to the joint bendsExtension – To straighten; when the part distal to a joint extends and decreases joint angle

Plantar flexion – movement of ankle downward

Dorsiflexion – movement of ankle upward

Radial Deviation – Wrist abduction

Ulnar Deviation – Wrist adduction

A FEW ADDITIONAL MOVEMENTS

Retraction – to pull in a backward motion

Protraction – to elevate and push towards the frontal plane

protraction retraction

Rotation – movement around an axis

Lateral bending – movement from the midline in the frontal plane, occurs in the neck and back

Pronation –the palm is turned downward; laying on your stomach

Supination – the palm is turned upward; laying on your back
