Axis Planes
- Transversal plane: vertical axis
- Sagittal plane: transversal axis
- Frontal plane: anteroposterior axis
Types of Movements
- Extension: movement in sagittal plane. The angle between adjacent segments in the body increases.
- Flexion: movement in sagittal plane. Two adjacent segments in the body approach each other.
- Abduction: movement in frontal plane. The body part moves from the central line of the body.
- Adduction: movement in frontal plane. The body part moves towards the central line of the body or across the central line and the other side of the body.
- Rotation: movement in transversal plane. It includes any twisting motion. It can be internal or external.
Standard Anatomical Position
- Anterior: at the front of the body
- Posterior: at the back of the body
- Superior: above another part of the body
- Inferior: below another part of the body
- Proximal: closer to the trunk of the body
- Distal: further from the trunk of the body
- Superficial: closer to the surface of the body
- Deep or profound: further from the surface of the body
- Medial: closer to the midline of the body
- Lateral: further from the midline of the body
- Ventral: at the front of the embryo, before limb rotation
- Dorsal: at the back of the embryo, before limb rotation
- Cranial: close to the tip of the skull
- Caudal: towards the bottom of the body
