Kinesiology = study of movement
1. Bones of the joints
2. Movements at each joint
3. The muscles that produce those movements

5. Anatomical Position

6. General Anatomical Terms – Directional (pages 3-5)
Anterior
…in front or in the front part
Deep
…beneath or below the surface
Distal
…situated away from the center or midline of the body, or away from the point of origin
Dorsal
…relating to the back, posterior
Inferior
…below in relation to another structure
Lateral
…on or to the side; outside

7. General Anatomical Terms – Directional (pages 3-5)
Medial
…relating to the middle or the center; nearer to the medial or midline of the body
Palmar
…relating to the palm aspect of the hand
Posterior
…behind, in back, or in the rear
Proximal
…nearest the trunk of the point of origin
Superficial
…near the surface
Superior
…above in relation to another structure; higher

9. Planes of Motion Sagittal Frontal Transverse (Horizontal)
Frontal Plane

10. Sagittal Plane Anterior and posterior movements.
Passes vertically through the middle of the body, dividing it into left and right halves.
All other sagittal planes run parallel to this median plane, but do not have to pass through the body's midline (parasagittal).
The median plane is merely one example of a sagittal plane.

11. Transverse Plane
Passes horizontally through the body, dividing it into upper and lower halves or (inferior & superior).
Movements through this plane will be horizontally (parallel to the ground); usually rotational

12. Frontal Plane
Passes through the body from side to side, dividing it into anterior and posterior halves.
Movements along this plane will be from side to side or (medial and lateral).

13. Bone Markings (page 10) Condyle Crest Facet Foramen Fossa Head
large round projection
Crest
prominent, narrow, ridgelike projection
Facet
small, flat, or nearly flat surface
Foramen
rounded hole or opening in bone
Fossa
hollow, depression or flattened surface
Head
prominent, rounded projection of the proximal end of a bone

14. Bone Markings (page 10) Line Process Spine Trochanter Tubercle
ridge of bone less prominent than a crest
Process
any prominent projection
Spine
sharp, slender projection
Trochanter
very large projection
Tubercle
small rounded projection
Tuberosity
large round or roughened projection
