    Anatomical and Physiological BHM

    Uploaded by

    Natalie Serrano
    The document discusses anatomical directions, planes, and axes that are used as reference points for describing human movement. It defines the anatomical position as upright with palms facing forward. It describes three body planes - the midsagittal, transverse, and coronal planes - and provides examples of how they divide the body. It also outlines common anatomical directions like anterior, posterior, superior, and inferior along with examples. Finally, it introduces the three main anatomical axes - frontal, vertical, and sagittal - used as reference lines for describing rotational movements.

    The body is upright, both feet on the floor and palms facing forward.

    Coronal Plane
    RIGHT SIDE LEFT SIDE

    Midsagittal Plane
    It is in the midline through the center of the
    body, and all other sagittal planes are parallel
    to it. It divides the body into left and right
    sides.
    SUPERIOR

    Transverse Plane
    It divides the body into superior and inferior
    (head and tail) portions. It is typically a
    horizontal plane through the center of the
    body and is parallel to the ground.
    INFERIOR
    POSTERIOR ANTERIOR

    Coronal Plane
    It divides the body into dorsal and ventral
    (back and front) portions. It also separates the
    anterior and posterior portions.

    ANATOMICAL
    REFERENCE AXES

    An axis is a straight line around


    which an object rotates.
    ANATOMICAL REFERENCE AXES

    FRONTAL VERTICAL SAGITTAL


    AXIS AXIS AXIS
    Frontal Axis
    (X-AXIS)
    This axis runs from left to right
    through the center of the body.
    For example, when a person performs
    a somersault they rotate
    around this axis.
    Ver tic alAxis
    (Y-AXIS)
    This line runs from top to bottom
    through the center of the body.
    For example, when a skater
    performs a spin they are rotating
    around the vertical axis.
    Sa gitta l Ax is
    (Z-AXIS)
    This line runs from front to back
    through the center of the body.
    For example, when a person performs
    a cartwheel they are rotating about
    the sagittal axis.
