1. Origin: Attachment of a muscle on more stable bone
attachment of a muscle that remains relatively fixed during muscular contraction
2. Lateral refers to: away from the midline of body
3. Superior: above
ex: my head is superior to my feet
4. Inferior: Below
Lower on the body, farther from the head
ex: my feet are inferior to my head
5. Proximal: Closer to head
6. Distal: further away from head
ex: the knees are distal to the shoulders
7. Upper/Lower Body Terms: Distal - further
Proximal - closer
Superior - above
Inferior - below
8. A "root' word that means arm: Brachial
9. Sideways movement: Abduction
Adduction
Lateral
Medial
Positon = Coronal
10. Forward Backward Movement: Flexion
Extension
Position - Sagital
11. Upper arm bone: humerus
12. Rotation: Turning/twisting movement
13. Eccentric: During eccentric contraction, muscle elongates, while under tension,
due to an opposing force being greater then force generated by muscle
i.e art extends out from bicep curl
14. concentric: contraction that shortens a muscle

15. Pronation: movement that turns the palm down
16. Supination: movement that turns the palm up
17. Inversion: Turning the sole of the foot inward / towards midline
18. Eversion: turning the sole of the foot outward / away from midline
19. Dorsiflexion: bending of the foot or the toes upward
ex: flex feet during leg raises

21. Retraction: Posterior (back) movement of the arms at the shoulders
22. Protraction: Anterior (forward) movement of the arms at the shoulders
23. Depression: movement in downward (inferior) direction
ex: shrug shoulders down (depression occurs)
24. Elevation: Movement in upward direction
ex: shrug shoulders up (elevation occurs)
25. medial: toward the midline
26. medial rotation: Rotation toward the midline
27. Lateral: away from the midline
28. lateral rotation: rotation away from the midline
29. Abduction: Movement away from the midline of the body (sideways)
