what are the "trail markers" that will help you locate muscles and tendons? bony landmarks
Since there are different body types and the terrain is never the same, explain how one "body map" could apply to all of them. even though the topography, shape, and proportion are unique, the body's composition and structures are virtually identical on all individuals.
What does "palpation" mean? to examine or explore by touching (an organ or area of the body), usually a diagnostic aid

Name three ways palpation can be made easier by "working smart". read information, visualize what you are trying to access, verbalize to your partner what you feel, locate the structure first on yourself, read the text aloud, be patient.
When outlining the shape or edge of a bone, it is best to roll your fingers ___ rather than ____ its surface. across, along
if the structure you are palpating is moving, your hands should _____. stay still
When a movement is performed by your partner it is called ____ and when your partner relaxes and allows you to do the movement it is called _____. active, passive
In the trail guide to the body, resisted movements are used to distinguish the _____, ____, and _____ of different muscles and tendons lengths, shapes, edges
as you improve your palpatory skills, what are three qualities or principles you will want to practice? _____, ______, ______. move slowly, avoid using excessive pressure, focus your awareness- be present
Skeletal muscle is composed of nerves, blood vessels, ____, and _____. muscle cells, layers of connective tissue
A muscle's connective tissue layers merge at either end of the muscle to form a strong ____. tendon
____ further toward the back of the body posterior
___ a structure of the arm or leg that is further away from the trunk distal
___ further toward the front of the body anterior

the ____ divides the body into left and right halves sagittal plane
the ___ or ___ plane runes down the center of the body midline, midsagittal
the ___ or ___ planes divides the body into front and back portions frontal or coronal
the ___ divides the body into upper and lower parts transverse plane
the __ means closer to the head cranial
the __ means closer to the buttocks caudal

___ is when a limb/joint turns towards the midline medial rotation
___ is when a limb/joint moves away from the midline lateral rotation
circumduction is only possible at ____ and ___ joints shoulder and hip
elevation and depression refer to the movement of the ___ and __ scapula and jaw
____ is movement superiorly (closer to the head) elevation

plantar flexion and dorsiflexion can only apply to the ankle
____ is performed by moving the ankle to point your foot into the earth or stepping on a gas pedal. plantar flexion
___ is performed by moving the ankle away from the earth or lifting off the gas pedal dorsiflexion
