L3 PT - Planes of motion

Planes and axis - Joint movements!

Multiple Choice

What is the correct definition of a plane of motion?

• A physical boundary that limits movement in the body.
  

• An imaginary flat surface that represents an anatomical cross-section along which movement occurs.
  

• A line that divides the body into upper and lower halves.
  

• A point where two bones meet to allow movement

Multiple Choice
