In this blog we will describe many of the basic underlying termonology, once you know these basics you can see how they are used (often in combination) to specify specific parts of the human anatomy as well as making them easier to remember and understand. # Anatomical terms of location ### Top, Bottom -**Superior (supra-)** - refers to the upper part of the body or anything that is higher up than something else. examples: -1. *supraspinatus (supra-spinatus)*: located on the upper (superior) portion of the shoulder blade (scapula). -2. *obliquus oculi superior*: the upper muscle of the eye. +**Superior (supra-)** - refers to the upper part of the body or anything that is higher up than something else. **Inferior (infra-, sub-)** - refers to the lower part of the body or anything that is lower down than something else. Example: - -1. Inferior oblique muscle (Musculus obliquus inferior) ) -2. something else : alsdkjflsakdjf +/examples: +1. *supraspinatus (supra-spinatus)*: located on the upper (superior) portion of the shoulder blade (scapula). +2. *obliquus oculi superior*: the upper muscle of the eye. +3. *Inferior oblique muscle (Musculus obliquus inferior) ) +4. something else : alsdkjflsakdjf ![hero image](/assets/images/posts/5FactsAboutHumanCirculatorySystem/humanCirculatorySystem3D_visualAnatomy3DApp.jpg) ### Front, Back -Anterior - describes the front side of the body or anything that is located in front of something else -Posterior - describes the back side of the body or anything that is located behind something else -Ventral - another term for anterior -Dorsal - another term for posterior. +**Anterior** - describes the front side of the body (defined as a body standing upright with the head facing forward, arms down at the sides with the palms turned forward, and feet parallel facing forward) or anything that is located in front of something else. (The toes are anterior to the foot) +**Posterior** - describes the back side of the body or anything that is located behind something else. (The popliteus is posterior to the patella) +**Ventral** - another term for anterior +**Dorsal** - another term for posterior. +![hero image](/assets/images/posts/5FactsAboutHumanCirculatorySystem/humanCirculatorySystem3D_visualAnatomy3DApp.jpg) ### Left, Right - -Lateral - describe the sides of the body or anything that is located to the side of something else -Medial -describes structures close to the midline -Ipsilateral - refers to structures on the same side of the body -Contralateral - refers to structures on opposite sides of the body +**Lateral** - describe the sides of the body or anything that is located to the side of something else (The thumb (pollex) is lateral to the digits) +**Medial** -describes structures close to the midline (The hallux is the medial toe) +**Ipsilateral** - refers to structures on the same side of the body +**Contralateral** - refers to structures on opposite sides of the body ### In relation to the center -Proximal - describes anything that is closer to the center of the body or any structure that originates from another structure -Distal - describes anything that is further away from the center of the body or any structure that terminates at another structure +**Proximal** - describes anything that is closer to the center of the body or any structure that originates from another structure +**Distal** - describes anything that is further away from the center of the body or any structure that terminates at another structure # Anatomical terms of motion ### Angular movements +**Flexion** - A bending movement that decreases the angle between two different segments. (flexing an elbow or clenching one's hand into a fist) +**Extension** - The opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases angle between body parts. (For example when standing up your knees are extended) -Flexion is a bending movement that decreases the angle between two different segments. This can be seen in actions like flexing an elbow or clenching one's hand into a fist, for example -flexor moving that decreases an angle +### motion relative to the midline +**Abduction** - is a motion that pulls a structure or part away from the midline of the body (usually carried out by one or more abductor muscles) +**abductor** - moving away from the midline - - -Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases angle between body parts. For example when standing up your knees are extended. -extensor moving that increase an angle or straightens - - - -motion relative to the midline - -Abduction is a motion that pulls a structure or part away from the midline of the body (usually carried out by one or more abductor muscles) -abductor moving away from the midline - - - -Adduction is a motion that pulls a structure or part towards the midline of the body, or towards the midline of a limb (usually carried out by one or more adductor muscles). -adductor moving towards the midline - - - -up or downwards motions - -Elevation is movement in a superior (upwards) direction. +### up or downwards motions +**Elevation** - is movement in a superior (upwards) direction. elevator moving upwards - - - -Depression is movement in an inferior (downwards) direction. +**Depression** - is movement in an inferior (downwards) direction. depressor moving downwards
