    The document describes the planes and joints of the body. It outlines three planes - the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes - which divide the body into left/right, front/back, and top/bottom portions. There are three types of joints - synarthroses which don't move, amphiarthroses which move slightly, and diarthroses which move freely. The six types of diarthroses joints are gliding, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, and ball and socket. Flexion decreases a joint angle while extension increases it. Abduction moves a limb away from the body midline and adduction moves it towards.

    Original Description:

    Notes about bones. (use if in sports med 1-2, short descriptions.) :)

    Planes of the Body

     Sagittal Plane (left and right halves)


     Frontal (Coronal) Plane (front and back portions)
     Transverse Plane (top and bottom portions)
    Joints of the Body
     Joints: the meeting places between two or more bones
     Muscles contract across joints to create movement
     Ligaments: attach bone to bone
     Tendon: attach muscle to bone
    3 types of joint movements
     Synarthroses: non-moving joint
     Amphiarthroses: slightly moving joints
     Diarthroses: freely moving joints
    6 joints of the Body
     Gliding
     Hinge
     Pivot
     Condylar
     Saddle
     Ball and Socket
    Flexion and Extension
     Flexion: bending in a way that decreases the angle of the joint, bones get closer
     Extension: bending in a way that increases the angle of the joint, bone get further
    away
    Abduction and Adduction
     Abduction: moving a limb away from the midline of the body
     Adduction: moving a limb towards the midline of the body
    Inversion and Eversion
     Inversion: Turning the foot towards the midline of the body
     Eversion: Turning the foot away from the midline of the body
    Protraction and Retraction
     Protraction: movement that results in a portion of the body being moved forward on
    a plane parallel to the ground
     Retraction: movement that results in the portion of the body being moved backwards
    on a plane parallel to the ground
