Introduction to Anatomy: Anatomical Movements, Welcome, Introduction, Anatomical Directions, Anatomical Planes, Flexion & Extension, Flexion, Extension, Abduction & Adduction, , Rotational Movements, Pronation & Supination, Hand Movements, Hand Movements 2, Other Movements 1, , When you first start studying Anatomy, it can feel a lot like trying to learn a new language!, Many of the terms used to describe anatomical movements differ from those used when, talking about the body in everyday conversation. This can be confusing for new learners., , The goal of this tutorial is to help you learn the terms used to describe anatomical movements, in order to make learning Anatomy a little easier., Each anatomical movement is explained with a definition and a diagram. In some cases, photos, have also been included. You can find an index of all of the movements at the end of the, module., There are two quizzes at the end of this module to help you test your knowledge., , Good luck!, , Other Movements 2, Other Movements 3, , Quiz 1, Quiz 2, Quiz Answer Keys, Index of Movements, Acknowledgements, , Navigation, There are two ways to move through this module:, 1) Scroll through the PDF, 2) Click on the title headings on the left side of the screen
