How many principle axes are there for the human body?
There are three axes in any spatial body. X,Y and Z. You have three planes in human body. You have sagital plane. ( Sagita means arrow. So it goes like arrow.) Transverse plane means horizontal plane, when you are standing upright. There is third plane called coronal plane, perpendicular to these two planes.
What directional term refers to the closest anatomical point of a limb to the body?
Proximal is the term used to say that something is closer to the trunk of the body. Example: The elbow is proximal to the wrist.proximal
Is the wrist considered distal to the shoulder?
Distal is away from the center of body trunk or point of attachment. The wrist is farther away from center of body trunk. Proximal is closest to the body central axis or point of attachment, so the shoulder is proximal.
What is effect of plane mirror on human body?
Directly, none. A plane mirror is capable of reflecting light so you would be able to see an image of yourself.
What is the whitish semilunar area of the proximal end of the nail body?
lunula
What is the skeletal element of the proximal segment of the upper member of the human body?
humberus
Where is the wrist located in the human body?
Distal to the forearm(antebrachium) and proximal to the hand
Where is the appendix on the human body?
The appendix is in the lower right abdomen, attached to the proximal end of the large intestine.
What is the term that means nearest to the midline of the body?
cut your body right down the center and there is your midline...
What is the proximal direction of the body?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb, so the knee is proximal to the ankle, and the wrist is proximal to the thumb.
How many principle axes are there for the human body?
There are three axes in any spatial body. X,Y and Z. You have three planes in human body. You have sagital plane. ( Sagita means arrow. So it goes like arrow.) Transverse plane means horizontal plane, when you are standing upright. There is third plane called coronal plane, perpendicular to these two planes.
In general would insertions be located proximal or distal the center of the body?
I believe it could be proximal.
Close to the origin of the body part or point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk?
Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin.
Four division of the body?
The human body is often divided into four areas or planes based on anatomy. These areas are the frontal or coronal plane, the transverse or axial plane, the sagittal or median plane, and the midsagittal plane.
Is the foot distal to knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
What plane divides the body into unequal right and left parts?
Para-Sag-ital plane. A plane goesparallelto Sag-ital plane. (Sagita means Arrow.)
Are the toes distal to the knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
