Intro to Anatomy

Sagittal plane

vertical plane splits body left to right

Median plane

Splits body right down the middle

what is the median plane also known as ?

Sagittal plane

Frontal plane

vertical plane that splits body or parts into front and back

what is the frontal plane also known as?

Coronal plane

Transverse Plane

horizontal plane that splits body into top and bottom

what depth is near the service?

thoracosis

relating to, located within, or involving the thorax (the chest area)

Kinesthesia

the perception of body movements

term for the sense of body position in space

proprioception

tendons

a tough, flexible, and fibrous band of connective tissue that securely connects skeletal muscle to bone

which structure connects bone to bone?

Ligaments

a strong, flexible connective tissue that acts as a shock absorber and reduces friction in joints
