OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lecture, the student should be able to:
1. Describe the anatomical position.
2. Define anatomical planes, and terms of relationship, laterality and
movement.
3. Give the functions of bones.
4. Classify the bones.
5. Define the bone markings.
6. Classify muscles as to form function.
7. Differentiate reflexive, tonic and phasic muscle contraction.
8. Differentiate regional, systemic and clinical anatomy.
I. ANATOMICAL POSITION
• Head, gaze, toes directed anteriorly
• Arms to the sides with palms facing
anteriorly
• Lower limbs close together with feet
parallel
• Inferior orbital margin at level with the
external acoustic meatus
II. ANATOMICAL PLANES
• Median Plane – vertical plane passing longitudinally through the
body; divides the body into equal left and right parts; (For the handthe 3rd digit; for the foot- the 2nd toe)
• Sagittal Plane – vertical line passing through the body parallel to the
median plane (*Paramedian plane- a plane very near the median
plane)Anterior/Ventral (Front Forward) vs. Posterior/Dorsal (Back)
o Palmar (Front of Hand/Palm) vs. dorsal (Back of
Hand)
o Plantar (Sole of Feet) vs. dorsal (Top of Feet)
• Superior – Area near vertex vs. Inferior – Area near feet
o Cephalo (head) vs. Caudal (tail)
• Medial vs. Lateral (Importance of a reference point)
o Medial – closer to the median plane (ex: Heart is
medial to lungs)
o Lateral – farther to the median plane (ex: Lungs
are lateral to Heart)
• Proximal (Nearest) vs. Distal (Farthest) - (Refer to the
trunk/reference point)
• Superficial (Outermost) vs. Intermediate (In between) vs. Deep
(Innermost) – (Layering/Depth)
___________________IV. LATERALITY______________ _____
• Bilateral – structures occurring in both right and left sides of the
body (e.g. kidneys)
• Unilateral – on one side only (e.g. spleen)
• Ipsilateral – same side (e.g. right hand and right foot)
• Contralateral – on the opposite sides of the body (e.g. right hand
contralateral to the left hand)
__________________V. MOVEMENT_____________________
A. Terms of Movement
• Flexion - bending or decreasing angle bet. bones or parts of the
body
• Extension - straightening or increasing angle
• Dorsiflexion - flexion at ankle joint (e.g. climbing uphill); bringing
the foot upwards
• Plantarflexion - bends the foot and toes toward the ground;
bending your ankle joint & point your toes down
• Lateral Flexion - right or left flexion of trunk or head
• Abduction - moving away from the median plane
• Adduction - moving toward the median plane
• Circumduction - circular movements that involves sequential
flexion, abduction, extension, adduction
• Rotation - turning or revolving a part of the body around its
longitudinal axis
NOTE: lateral rotation of leg means clockwise or away;
medial rotation of leg means counterclockwise or
towards middle
head: lateral rotation ONLY!
• Pronation - rotates the radius medially, palm faces posteriorly
• Supination - rotates radius laterally and uncrossing from the ulna
(like holding a bowl of soup)
• Eversion - sole of the feet away from the median plane, turning
sole laterally
NOTE: when the foot is fully everted, it is also
DORSIFLEXED
• Inversion - sole towards the median plane, turning sole medially
NOTE: when the foot is fully inverted, it is also
PLANTARFLEXED
*Supinate/Supination = inversion + adduction
*Pronate/Pronation = eversion + abduction
• Protrusion - movement anteriorly. Like pouting of lips
• Retrusion - movement posteriorly (backward/protraction)
• Elevation - raises or moves a part superiorly
• Depression - lowers or moves a part inferiorly
NOTE: elevation and depression can be used for the
shoulders
• Opposition - pad of 1st digit brought to another digit pad
• Reposition - movement from opposition back to anatomical
(normal) position
____________________VI. BONES_______________________
A. Classification
According to:
• Function
o Axial skeleton
§ Axis of the body
§ Includes vertebral column and bones of the head, neck,
and trunk (ribs, sternum)
o Appendicular skeleton
§ Appendages (connections to the axis)
§ Bones of the limbs including those forming the pectoral
and pelvic girdles
• Shape
o Long- tubular (e.g. femur, humerus)
o Short- cuboidal (e.g. tarsus, carpus)
o Flat- has protective function (e.g. skull, capula, sternum, ribs
(protective)
o Irregular- various shapes (e.g. vertebrae, ossicles, facial bones)
o Sesamoid- develops in tendinous attachment (e.g. patella)
B. Type of Bones
• Compact
o Outside/periphery of the bone
o Strongest part, sturdy
• Spongy
o Within the bone, support structure that maintains bone
especially in weight bearing areas
C. Bone Markings
- Appear wherever tendons, ligaments and fascias are attached
- May be used as clues in identifying bones and determining laterality
• Articulations
o Condyle- large, round protuberance at the end of a bones
(e.g., lateral condyle of the femur)
o Facet- smooth, flat articular process; usually covered with
cartilage (e.g., superior articular facet of the vertebra)
o Projections, processes: projecting spine-like part
o Head- large, round articular projection supported on the neck
of a bone (e.g., head of the femur)
• Extensions
o Crest- narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent (e.g., iliac crest
of the hip bone)
