The document discusses core anatomy, anatomical positioning, directional terms, kinetic chains, and posture. It defines the core muscles and explains that anatomical terminology is used precisely to describe structures, locations, directions, and regions of the body. The anatomical position standardizes body references. Positional and directional terms describe one body part's location relative to others along the three major body planes. The kinetic chain describes interconnected body segments and muscles that work together during movement and connect to the spine. The upper and lower kinetic chains are defined. Good posture exists when joints experience minimal stress and muscles don't need to work as hard to maintain the position.

4. Anatomical Terms – The
Language of Anatomy
Anatomical terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding
Exact terms are used for
 Structures
 Locations
 Direction
 Regions

7. The anatomical position is
a standardized method of
observing or imaging the
body that allows precise
and consistent anatomical
references.

9. Terms of position and
direction describe the
position of one body part
relative to another.

18. KINETIC CHAIN
Anatomically, the kinetic chain
describes the interrelated
groups of body segments,
connecting joints, and
muscles working together to
perform movements and the
portion of the spine to which
they connect.

19. KINETIC
CHAIN
The upper kinetic chain
consists of the fingers,
wrists, forearms, elbows,
upper arms, shoulders,
shoulder blades, and spinal
column.
The lower kinetic chain
includes the toes, feet,
ankles, lower legs, knees,
upper legs, hips, pelvis,
and spine.

21. The relative
position of the
body and/or the
arrangement of
its body parts at
any moment.
POSTURE
A good posture exists when there
is minimal stress acting on
multiple joints and minimal
muscle activity is needed to
keep the position.
