cuts down the body, separates the left half from the right half
frontal plane
front and back
Abduction
Movement away from the midline
adduction
towards midline of the body
Circumduction
a continuous movement that combines flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction in succession; the distal end of the limb or digit moves in a circle
SUPINATION
MOVEMENT UPWARD OR FORWARD PALMS UP
pronation
palm down
axial position
accounts for 50 % of persons weight
Appendicular portion
includes the arms and legs
force
push or pull
Tensile
distracts or pulls two surfaces apart
Shear
two surfaces sliding against
Resultant
the net result of a combination of two or more vectors
effort arm
this is the part of the lever on which you push
Torque
A quantity that measures the ability of a force to rotate an object around some axis

Synovial Joints
1. Articular Cartilage 2. Joint or Synovial Cavity 3. Articular Capsule - 2 parts: a. fibrous capsule b. synovial membrane 4. Synovial Fluid 5. Reinforcing Ligaments
Proximal joints
generally have the greatest freedom of movement and are a foundation for extremities like the shoulder and the hip
Middle joints
hinge joints with motion primarily in the sagittal plane and the forces through the secondary joints will depend on the position of the primary and tertiary joint
Examples of distal joints
wrist and ankle
prime mover
has the major responsibility for causing a particular movement
Antagonist
A substance that inhibits the normal action of a hormone or native substance A

mvmt system [outer unit]
–Rectus Abdominis –External Oblique –Erector Spinae –Quadratus Lumborum (both) –Gluteus Maximus (both groups) –Hip Flexors –Latissimus Dorsi
Posterior oblique system
gluteus maximus, latissimus dorsi, and thoracolumbar fascia
The deep longitudinal system includes
erector spinae, the deep lamina of the thoraco lumbar fascia, the sacrotuberus ligament and the biceps femoris muscle
Lateral system

origin
attached to immovable/less movable bone
insertion
the site where the movable end of the skeletal muscle attaches to another structure
visceral muscles
cardiac and smooth
fusiform muscles
great ability to shorten. biceps for Ex
Penniform Muscles
