Anatomical terms of motion eye. For example: Other terms include: Anatomical terms of motion Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the joints. Anatomists use a unified set of terms to describe most of the movements, although other, more specialized terms are necessary for describing the uniqueness of the movements such as those of the hands, feet, and eyes. In general, motion is classified according to the anatomical plane it occurs
Anatomical plane a person jumped directly up and then down, their body would be moving through the transverse plane in the coronal and sagittal planes. A "longitudinal plane" is any plane perpendicular to the transverse plane. The coronal plane and the sagittal plane are examples of longitudinal planes. Sometimes the orientation of certain planes needs to be distinguished, for instance in medical imaging techniques such as sonography, CT scans, MRI scans, or PET scans. One imagines a human in the anatomical position, and an X-Y-Z coordinate system with the y-axis going from front to back, the x-axis going from left to right,
