and discuss anatomical features. There are many terms used to differentiate the positions of the body. A scientist developed the terms used to describe anatomical position. The anatomical position is a human standing straight‚ facing forward with their feet parallel‚ and arms hanging down at the side‚ and palms facing forward. There are three other positions that the body can be in. These positions are known as prone‚ supine‚ and Fowler’s position. The supine position is when the

Anatomical structure affects movement ability in the hip by the single non jointed structure of the pelvis. The pelvis rotates all three planes of movement. One movement is the rotating of the femur so that the acetabulum is positioned toward the direction of approaching femoral movement. Another is the posterior pelvic tilt‚ when the anterior superior iliac spine is tilted backward‚ it position the head of the femur in front of the hipbone to enable flexion. Lastly‚ anterior pelvic tilt enables

Lab 1 Anatomical Orientation Name ____ For humans‚ anatomical terms are always referenced to an individual standing in what is known as the standard anatomical position. Thus‚ for such an individual‚ the sagittal (median) plane divides the body or an organ into left and right sides while a transverse (horizontal) plane divides the body or organ into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions‚ and a frontal (coronal) plane divides the body or organ into anterior and posterior sides.

Anatomical Terms Certain terms are used to describe the location of body parts‚ regions of the body‚ and imaginary planes by which the body can be sectioned. You should become familiar with these terms before your study of anatomy and physiology begins. Anatomical terms are useful only if everyone has in mind the same position of the body and is using the same reference points. Therefore‚ we will assume that the body is in the anatomical position: standing erect‚ with face forward‚ arms at the sides

The Anatomical and Physical Features of Frogs Abstract: People have always wondered how frogs have the capability to live in both wet and dry environments. So why not dissect a frog to find out how. Frogs have both physical features like their skin that allows them to breath in water. They also have anatomical features like humans that allow them breath air just like us. Introduction As many people have learned throughout elementary and middle school amphibians are animals that have the

maximizes speed‚ and consists of the articulating femur and ilium bones (Tortora and Derrickson‚ 2009). At the starting phase the hip is extended by the contraction in the gluteus maximus‚ which acts as the main stabaliser and holds the hip joint in position. This muscle originates on the iliac crest‚ coccyx and sacrum and inserts under the greater trochanter of the femur. The rectus femoris of the quadriceps contract causing the hip to be very slightly flexed (Martini and Nath‚ 2009). The Sartorius
