—————————|—————————————
Right Inguinal | Hypogastric | Left Inguinal
60
Inguinal
Inguinal canals have an accumulation of lymph nodes
61
Diathroses (synovial joints)
Freely movable
- characterised by presence of joint cavity —> prevents bone friction
- Permit complex movements
- movements often occur in pairs
62
63
Flexion
Brings ventral (front facing) surfaces together
- decreases angle between body parts
64
Extension
Moves ventral surfaces apart
- increasing angle between body parts
65
Hyperextension
Extending body part beyond anatomical position
66
Abduction
To move away from midline of body
67
Adduction
To move towards midline
68
Circumduction
One end stationary, other end makes circular motion
69
Medial (internal) rotation
Movement around central axis towards midline
70
Lateral (external) rotation
Movement around central axis away from midline
71
Pronation
Rotation of forearm so palm faces posteriorly
72
Super nation
Rotation of forearm so palm faces anteriorly
73
Elevation
Raising body part vertically in frontal plane
74
Depression
Lowering body part vertically in frontal plane
75
Protraction
Anterior movement in sagittal plane
76
Retraction
Posterior movement in sagittal plane
77
Lateral flexion
Tilting to right of left of midline
**lateral flexion
78
Radial flexion
Tilting palm to radius
79
Ulnar flexion
Tilting palm to ulna
80
Abduction of fingers
Spreading fingers apart
81
Palmer abduction of thumb
Moving thumb away from palm
82
Opposition of thumb
Touching thumb to other fingers
83
Flexion of ankle
Plantar flexion: pointing foot (towards sole)
Zero position: flat foot
Dorsiflexion: to front of leg (dorsal side)
84
