KNH 244 Exam 1 Emily Davie Questions and Answers Fully Solved Latest Update 2025
Axial - Answers head, neck, trunk
Appendicular - Answers extremities or limbs
(upper and lower)
Describing movement between body parts - Answers 1) name part moving
2) joint where movement occurs
True movement - Answers body part is moving relative to ADJACENT part
(ie. leg moving at knee is true)
Along for the ride - Answers part is moving in space but not relative to adjacent part.
(ie. torso when walking)
Anterior - Answers more in front, closer to front
Sagital Plane - Answers Cuts body into left and right sides. Does not have to be through middle.
Transverse plane - Answers must cut body part into top and bottom portions
coronal (frontal) plane - Answers must cut body into anterior and posterior halves
Movement occurs - Answers in a plane and around an axes
Mediolateral - Answers medial to lateral rod
Anteroposterior - Answers anterior to posterior rod
Superoinferior - Answers superior to inferior rod
Three Cardinal Planes and Axes - Answers
two types of axial motion - Answers Rolling: body part rolling around an axis
When stationary and moving contact points are changing.
-moving segment (tire is moving, road stationary)
-stationary segment
Spin: moves more like ball
, small difference between the two
Non-Axial motion (Linear) - Answers motion that does not occur around an axis
Two types of non-axial motion - Answers Rectilinear: moves in a line
Curvilinear: moves in a curve
Bones glide or slide along eachother, no spinning or rotating
Gliding - Answers Stationary contact point changes while moving contact point stays the same.
All joints should have a little bit of gliding motion
Most joints should have a combination of gliding and rolling movements
Spinning - Answers Stationary contact point stays the same and moving contact point changes. see also

Concave on Convex (S) rolling/gliding direction - Answers concave segment is rolling and gliding in same
direction on convex segment
Convex on concave (S) rolling/gliding direction - Answers convex segment is rolling and gliding in
opposite direction on concave stationary segment.
Flexion & Extension - Answers Occurs in the sagital plane on mediolateral axis
Flexion: decreases joint angle
Extension: increases joint angle
Abduction & Adduction - Answers Only used in reference to appendicular skeleton
Abduction: to move a body part away from midline
Adduction: brings a body part towards the midline
in hand middle finger replaces midline
in foot the 2nd toe replaces midline
Right and Left Lateral Flexion - Answers only used when referencing the axial body
anteroposterior axis around coronal plane
