0:05 So we're going to go over anatomical positions, anatomical directions, 0:09 anatomical planes. We're going to go over a whole lot of vocab in the beginning. 0:15 What you first need to realize is that functional anatomy more than anything is 0:19 just a language and like learning any language, at first, it's not going to make 0:26 any sense. And then as you get more words together, you start seeing how everything 0:31 fits and you start realizing that there's a logic behind anatomy. Hopefully 0:36 by the end of the day you are going to start to put some big groups of 0:39 pieces together and you'll be like, "Oh yeah," this isn't just a bunch of random 0:43 words in Latin. Let's start with anatomical position. Everybody stand 0:50 up. Everybody stand in the anatomical position. Oh yeah, so that's eyes facing 1:05 forward, I don't know why they have to specify eyes but they do. Palms forward, 1:10 feet forward. Is this ideal posture? No, obviously we do not walk around with 1:18 our palms forward. It would be a little weird and I hope you use your eyes to track more 1:23 than the things directly in front of you. But what is anatomical position good for? 1:29 It's a reference point. So when we start talking about muscles, at least initially, 1:35 you got to learn joint actions, you have heard the term 1:39 joint actions before? So when we talk about joint actions, what joint 1:43 action a muscle will cause, we're generally talking about from this position, 1:47 initially. Does that make sense? When we talk about something called anatomical 1:53 directions, we're generally referring to where something is based on your body 1:57 being in anatomical position. Does that make sense? Everybody one more time, show 2:03 me anatomical position. Engrain it in your mind, etch it, laser it, build an 2:10 app for it, something. Next, you can go ahead and sit. 2:18 Anatomical directions, how many of you have heard of anatomical directions 2:21 before? How many you have heard of directions before? How many of you guys 2:26 have given directions before? How many of you just gave up and went GPS? No? 2:32 All right so directions, we need directions in the human body just like 2:37 we need directions to get someplace. We just use a little different words. 2:42 Let's start with the first two. Each one of these is in pairs. We got superior 2:46 and inferior. Well if I tell you that your boss is superior to you, what does 2:52 that mean? Above and in the human body, superior means the same thing. Superior 2:58 means above. If you hire on an intern and you're the boss your intern is what? 3:06 Inferior to you, which means below. Probably not a good thing to tell your 3:13 intern, that's not going to help their confidence any. But you get 3:16 superior versus inferior? Superior might be in this direction, 3:21 inferior is going to be in this direction, generally if we're talking 3:25 from the anatomical position. We're going to play a little game here in a second. 3:29 Medial versus lateral. What does medial sound like? Middle, so where would the 3:36 middle of your body be? Yeah, directly down the center line. What about 3:42 lateral, what do you do that has the word lateral in it? Raise your 3:50 arm. How many you guys who do lateral raises? Nobody's done a lateral raise? I 3:53 don't have that many gym rats in here yet? Some lateral raises for your 3:58 shoulders. Lateral raises are in which direction? Towards the outside, so 4:05 lateral is the opposite of medial and is toward the outside. Anterior 4:11 and posterior. Anybody ever been told to sit on their posterior? Has anybody ever 4:17 been told that? Good. I'm glad I wasn't the only one growing up, "Sit on your 4:22 posterior." Where's your posterior? Your backside. 4:28 So what do you think anterior means? Front. Anterior and posterior delt. 4:35 Where's your anterior delt? Everybody touch your anterior delt. Palpate. 4:40 Everybody knows what the definition of palpate is? To touch in a professional 4:46 manner. Posterior delt is where? Everybody palpate their posterior delt. 4:51 Good good good good good. These are probably the tricky ones: proximal and 4:56 distal. How many of you have heard these terms before? Proximal. 5:00 What does that word sound like? Proximity. Proximity means what? Close. Now the 5:08 question is close to what? What are we talking about being close to? Well, in the 5:13 human body, it's the trunk. You can think of putting a little bull's eye right 5:19 here, right over your bellybutton. All right so it's in proximity to this. Now 5:23 distal sounds like what word? Distance, so now we got to think what's the furthest 5:27 distance from this proximal point? What would be the first farthest things from 5:33 this? Fingers and toes. You almost have to think of proximal and distal 5:39 as if your body was like this. That make sense? Then we have supine and prone. 5:45 You know these? Supine, face or palm up when lying on back. The way 5:54 I was taught how to remember this is if you hold a bowl of 5:59 soup right you are supine and then if you pro it out... oh it's only going to get 6:09 cheesier. I know that was bad right. Wasn't it? All right so everybody supine, 6:13 pro. Good all right so everybody's got their anatomical directions. Think 6:20 you got this? All right stand up, because now we get to play a really fun 6:26 game. It's called "Brent Says." It's why I think it's a fun game. Why 6:34 are we going to play "Brent Says?" Because actually it's really annoying to say 6:37 "Simon Says" after every direction that I give you. So here's what I want you 6:40 to do. Touch the posterior aspect of your head. Good. Touch the anterior aspect of 6:51 your head. Good so now we're on your face. Let's let's do the 6:57 lateral aspect of your face. Good. Didn't get anybody yet. Medial aspect of your 7:07 face, your nose would be medial. Could you have touched here too? Yeah that's still 7:13 mid-line. What about here? All right so we all got we got medial down. Good let's do 7:19 the superior portion of your face. 7:27 Proximal portion of your face. Oh got you got you, where's proximal portion of your 7:34 face? What's proximal mean? Closer to the torso right? So this would be the 7:41 proximal portion of your face. What would be the inferior portion of your face? 7:50 Same spot. Same spot. What would be the distal portion of your face? 7:58 Let's mix this up a little bit, let's mix this up. What do I got for you? 8:02 Let's do...medial trunk. Good. 8:12 Superior shoulder. Posterior thigh. Anybody else feel like they're playing 8:22 anatomy twister. I just kind of realized that. We need a 8:25 little spin thing. All right let's do lateral trunk. Let's do proximal arm. 8:38 Yeah so it'd be your proximal arm, your shoulder. Let's do distal arm. Anterior thigh. 8:55 Let's do inferior shoulder. Got a couple of you. I started mixing up the 9:02 pairs and I got a couple of you already. How you doing though, you still 9:05 getting it? Should we really take it up a notch? How many of you guys are ready for 9:09 groupings? You ready for groupings? Touch your, you can think about 9:17 this one for a second, remember this ain't Jeopardy. No points for answering first. 9:22 Where's your anterolateral, anterior and lateral, trunk? Yeah so I'd be referring 9:33 to anything here. Anterolateral. All right let's do posteromedial head. 9:46 Everybody feel that bump on the back of their head? You ready for a fancy 9:51 word? It's called your external occipital protuberance. Right there, got that? 9:56 Anybody know what muscle inserts into that? None nobody? Your traps, they come to your 10:04 external occipital protuberance, that's just a little prelude to what's to come. 10:08 Let's do, oh I like this one let's do the dorsal, did I explain dorsal? 10:14 I didn't explain dorsal, how did I not explained dorsal? So I told you you 10:18 got anterior and posterior. Occasionally, you are going to hear 10:22 reference to other anatomical directions, like ventral or dorsal. Ventral generally 10:29 means forward, dorsal what does that word sound like? You know a word that has 10:33 dorsal in it. Dorsal fin. Like on a shark, like jaws right like the dorsal 10:42 fin - tun tun tun tun tun. You got the dorsal fin, where is that located on 10:47 an animal? Back or top surface. Or you'll also hear dorsal 10:53 referred to as like the top surface of something, like your foot. 10:57 I gave away the next one but I'm going to still make 11:00 you do it anyway. I want you to touch the dorsal aspect of your distal, 11:08 everybody still with me, lower extremity. 11:16 You can immediately tell who has flexible hamstrings in this room because 11:20 about two-thirds of you went like this and then by a third of you went, "Screw 11:24 that!" All right let's do the posterior and proximal aspects, posterior proximal 11:40 aspect of your lower extremity. That's right, I got you all palpating your 11:47 glutes, what? We'll find out later why the glutes are my favorite muscle. 11:50 It's true, it's true. There's a big functional reason for that. All right you 11:55 can sit. You think you got anatomical directions down a little bit? 12:01 That helped out?
