Coronal plane

Kyphoscoliosis is an abnormal curve of the spine on two planes: the coronal plane, or side to side, and the sagittal plane, or back to front. It’s a combined spinal abnormality of two other conditions: Scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally on the coronal plane, meaning it twists sideways. Kyphosis causes the spine to curve abnormally on the sagittal plane, meaning it twists forward or backward, giving the back a People with kyphoscoliosis have a spine that curves both to the side and forward or backward at the same time. This condition can occur at any age, including at birth. According to a case report about the condition, Symptoms of kyphoscoliosis vary. Sometimes people with the condition may only have an abnormal hunch or slouch. In more severe cases, there can be negative effects on the lungs and heart. The muscles may not be able to function properly for day-to-day activities. Many cases of this condition have no known cause. In other cases, this spinal condition is the result of: • Prolonged bad posture. Poor posture over time may result in postural kyphoscoliosis. It can be treated with extensive physical therapy. • Osteochondrodysplasia. This is a type of • Degenerative diseases. Examples include • Neuromuscular diseases. These can include • Connective tissue diseases. These could include • Tuberculosis (TB). People 50 years of age and older are likely to develop this spinal abnormality if degenerative diseases like OA are already present. Other causes ca...

Information When anatomists or health professionals identify the location of a structure in the human body, they do so in reference to a body in anatomical position. That is, they figure out the location based on the assumption that the body is starting out in anatomical position. Anatomical position for a human is when the human stands up, faces forward, has arms extended, and has palms facing out. Figure \(\PageIndex\):These two people are both in anatomical position. (CC-BY, When referencing a structure that is on one side of the body or the other, we use the terms “anatomical right” and “anatomical left.” Anatomical right means that the structure is on the side that a person in anatomical position would consider their right-hand side (not necessarily on the right of the viewer) and anatomical left means that the structure is the side that a person in anatomical position would consider their left-hand side (which likewise is not necessarily the left side of the viewer.) Information To view the interior of a body, we expose the organs and structures that are visible when that body is cut open along one of four commonly used sectional planes. These planes are the different directions a body is cut to reveal different views of its internal structures. • Frontal plane—A vertical cut that separates the front from the back of the specimen. Also known as a coronal plane. • Transverse plane—A horizontal cut that separates the top from the bottom of the specimen. Also known as a...

Each movement at a synovial joint results from the contraction or relaxation of the muscles that are attached to the bones on either side of the articulation. The type of movement that can be produced at a synovial joint is determined by its structural type. While the ball-and-socket joint gives the greatest range of movement at an individual joint, in other regions of the body, several joints may work together to produce a particular movement. Overall, each type of synovial joint is necessary to provide the body with its great flexibility and mobility. There are many types of movement that can occur at synovial joints (Table \(\PageIndex\): Movement...

> > > Anatomical Planes Understanding Spinal Anatomy: Anatomical Planes A body or anatomical plane is an imaginary flat surface that is used to define a particular area of anatomy. Table 1 Term Meaning Frontal or Coronal Plane The frontal plane divides the front and back halves of the entire body. Median or Midsagittal Plane The median plane divides the left and right sides of the entire body. Transverse or Horizontal Plane The transverse plane divides the body at the waist (top and bottom halves of the body). George A. Frey, MD is an Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon and the Founder of the Colorado Comprehensive Spine Institute. Dr. Frey focuses his medical practice on the treatment of all complex spine problems affecting the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions in adult and pediatric patients. Dr. Frey is known for his extensive experience and training in complex spinal reconstruction, revision, and scoliosis surgery in children and adults.
