|---|---|
| What are the four major body planes | Midsagittal, sagittal, midcoronal, and transverse planes |
| What does the term body habitus mean | refers to the body's physical apperance. |
| What body type is a hypersthenic habitus | largest of the four types, large and heavy; the chest area is short with a high diaphragm |
| What body type is sethenic | average athletic build, longer chest and abdomen with viscera located more medially. |
| What body type is hypsthenic | this is a slighter version of the sthenic less athletic/strong |
| What body type is asthenic | smallest/slightest of the four; frail looking, slender and slight; long chest and abdominal viscera located low and medial |
| What does recumbent refer to | layning down in any position |
| What does erect refer to | upright/standing/or sitting up |
| What does oblique refer to | erect or recumbent; RAO,LAO,RPO, LPO |
| What is the definition of supination | turning of the body or arm so that the palm faces forware, with the thumb away from midline of the body |
| Define pronation | turning of the body or arm so that the palm faces backward, with the thumb toward the midline of the body |
| Define abduction | movement of a part away from the body's MSP |
| Define adduction | movement of a part toward the body's MSP |
| Define flexion | bending motion of an articulation, decreasing the angle between associated bones |
| Define extention | bendind motion of an articulation increaseing the angle btween associated bones |
| Define eversion | turning outward or laterl motion of an articulation, sometimes with external tension or stress applied |
| Define inversion | a turning inward or medical mtion of an articulation;sometimes with external tension or stress apllied |
| Define rotation | movement of apart about its central or long axis |
| Define circumduction | movement of a limb that produces circular motion; circumscribes a small area at its proximal end and a wide area at its distal end |
| Motion does what to recorded detail | Motion obliterates recorded detail |
| What is the most important way to reduce involuntary motion | the shortest possible exposure time |
| What are the functions of the skeletal system | support, reservoir for minerals, muscle attachment/movement, protection, and hematopoiesis |
| What is hematopoiesis | The production of red blood cells |
| What are the two types of bone tissue | cortical, and cancellous |

| Name the carpal bones | scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate |
| Name the tarsal bones | calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, medial cuniform, intermediate cuniform, and lateral cuniform |
| Describe the male pelvis | marrow, deep for anterior to posterior, public angle less than 90, pelvic inlet marrow and heart shaped |
| Describe the female pelvis | wide, shallow from anterior to posterior, pubic angle greater than 90, pelvic inlet large and round |
| What seven processes does the vertebral arch support | two superior articular processes, two inferior articular processes, two transverse processes, and one spinous process. |
