Sagittal Plane correct answerDivides the dog into right and left portions
Median Plane (Sagittal) correct answerDivides the dog in the midline of the body into right and
left portions
Dorsal Plane correct answerDivides the Dog into ventral and dorsal portions
Transverse Plane correct answerDivides the body into cranial and caudal portions
Transverse Axis of Joint Motion correct answerSaggittal plane motion occurs around an axis of rotation
that is directed mediolaterally
Ventrodorsal Axis of Joint Motion correct answerDorsal plane motion occurs around the axis of rotation
that is directed ventrodorsally
,Craniocaudal Axis of Joint Motion correct answerTransverse plane motion, such as motion of the
trunk, occurs around an axis of rotation that is directed craniocaudally
Flexion correct answerThe limb is retracted or folded, a digit is bent, and the back or neck is arched
dorsally.
Flexion motion occurs in the limbs when: correct answeras the bones on either side of a joint move closer
together and the joint angle becomes more acute
Shoulder Flexion correct answerCaudal retraction of the humerus in relation to the scapula
Shoulder Extension correct answerCranial motion of the humerus in relation to the scapula
Extension correct answerLimb reaches out, the digit is extended, and the back or neck is less arched
dorsally or arches ventrally
Extension motion occurs in the limbs when: correct answerthe bones that are already close together
and already form an acute angle move farther apart, such that the angle formed at the joint is increased
or straightened
,Hyperextension correct answerExtension beyond normal ex carpus
Abduction correct answerMovement in the transverse plane such that the distal aspect moves away
from the midline of the body
Adduction correct answerMovement in the transverse plane such that the distal aspect moves toward the
midline of the body
Side Bend correct answerMovement occurs in the dorsal p[lane such that lateral aspects of the adjacent
areas of the spine approximate or move away from each other
Circumduction correct answerMovement at a joint, during which a bone or body segment outlines
the surface of a cone or circle
Rotation correct answerOccurs with reference to the cranial aspect of the limb rotating toward the
midline of the body or median plane and continuing in that direction
Supination correct answerExternal rotation of the limb, such tahat the pad surface of the paw faces
medically
, Pronation correct answerInternal rotation of the limb, such that the pad of the surface of the paw faces
laterally
Ventral Pelvic Tilt correct answerApproximation of ventral pelvis and cranial femur
Dorsal Pelvic Tilt correct answerVentral pelvis moving away from the crainal femur
Lateral Pelvis Tilt correct answerDorsal plane movement such that the lateral aspect of the pelvis
approximates the lateral aspect of the trunk
Pelvic Rotation correct answerMovement of the ventral aspect of the pelvis, rotation toward the left
or right. Occurs in transverse plane
Sacroiliac Motion correct answerMovements of the cranial and caudal aspects of the sacrum correlated
to the movement of the human superior and inferior aspects of the sacrum
Sacroiliac Flexion or Nutation correct answerCranial Portion of the sacrum tilting ventrally
Sacroiliac Extension or Counternutation correct answerCranial aspect of the sacrum tilting dorsally
Sacroiliac Side Bend or Lateral Flexion correct answerCranial aspect of the sacrum tilting to the side
