Means……….
Body structure and function involves how
the human body works in relation to
physical activity.
This will include:•basic functional anatomy
•basic principles of biomechanics
•basic physiological responses to
large muscle locomotor-type
activities.
Lesson One – Anatomical Position
A person in the anatomical position is….
•
•
•
•
•
standing erect
head, eyes and toes pointing forward,
feet together
arms by the side
palms of the hands also facing forwards.
Anatomical Planes
.
Frontal
Separates the body
into anterior and
posterior (front &
Back). Can also be
called the coronal
plane.
Horizontal
Separates the body into Superior and Inferior parts
(closer to the head & closer to the feet).
The horizontal plane,
or transverse plane,
is a plane which splits
the body or body part
in question into upper
and lower parts.
Median
Separates the body into two mirror images
The sagittal plane is a vertical plane
which runs parallel to the median
plane, but does not necessarily pass
through the body's midline. In effect,
the median plane is a specific type of
sagittal plane.
A sagittal plane is any plane parallel
to the median and hence the median
plane is also called the midsagittal
plane.
Anatomical Terms
3. Medial - toward the middle
4. Lateral - toward/from the side
5. Proximal - toward the attachment of a
limb
6. Distal - toward the finger/toes
7. Superior - above
8. Inferior - below
9. Anterior - toward/from the front
10. Posterior - toward/from the back
11. Peripheral - toward the surface
12. Palmer - toward/on the palm of the
hand
13. Plantar - toward/on the sole of the foot
