• Kines- ?
• -ology ?
• Kinesiology study of movement
• 1. Bones of the joints
• 2. Movements at each joint
• 3. The muscles that produce those movements

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

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).

Bone Markings (page 10)

• Condyle
• 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
• 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

15
