Q

4 types of fractures:

A
  • Inclosed - the skin over the break is not damaged
  • Compound - the broken bone protrudes through the skin
  • Simple - take place in one line, with no displacement of the bone
  • Stress (overuse) - they happen as a result of fatigue

Q

Dislocations

A
  • when a bone at a joint is forced out of its normal position.
  • occurs as a result of a hard blow which causes one of the bones to be displaced.

  • high blood pressure
  • liver disease
  • death
27
Q

Narcotics and analgesics

A

Powerful painkillers

28
Q

Benefits and side effects of Narcotic and analgesics

A
  • relieve pain from injuries

- loss of concentration, balance and co-ordination

29
Q

Beta blockers

A

They maintain a lower heart rate and blood pressure

30
Q

Benefits and side effects of beta blockers

A

-reduce anxiety and stress

  • nausea and diarrhoea
  • tiredness
  • depression
  • insomnia
31
Q

Diuretics

A

The elimination of fluid in the body

32
Q

A
  • help lose weight
  • reduce concentration of other banned substances
  • dehydration, dizziness, muscle cramps, headaches and nausea
  • long-term kidney problems
33
Q

Peptide hormones (including erythropoietin)

A

Increases muscle growth

34
Q

Benefits and side effects of Peptide hormones

A
  • Assists in recovery from injury and training sessions

- Increases the number of red blood cells

35
Q

Growth hormones

A

Increase muscle development

36
Q

Benefits and side effects of growth hormones

A

-muscle development

  • thickens blood
  • dehydration
  • increase risk of heart problems
37
Q

Stimulants

A

-Increases alertness e.g. nicotine and caffeine

38

A

-overcome tiredness

  • insomnia
  • irregular heart beat
  • addiction
  • high blood pressure
39
Q

Blood doping

A

Boosting red blood cells to improve performance

40
Q

Benefits and side effects of blood doping

A
  • Improves your VO2 max (aerobic capacity)
  • Increase endurance
  • Boosts the number of red blood cells in the bloodstream
41
Q

Hinge joints

A

Allows only backwards and forward motion e.g. the knee, elbow and ankle

42
Q

Ball and socket joints

A

Allows a variety of movements. The rounded head of a long bone (ball) fits into a cup-shaped hole (the socket) e.g. hip, shoulder

43
Q

Condyloid joints

A

Allows circular motions. Similar to ball and socket joints but the ball rests against the ned of the bone e.g. the wrist

44
Q

Flexion

A

Bending movement that decreases the angle between body parts

45
Q

Extension

A

Straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts

46
Q

Adduction

A

Movements that pulls TOWARDS the midline of the body

47
Q

Abduction

A

Movements that pulls AWAY from the midline of the body

48
Q

Rotation

A

Movement around a single axis or pivot joint

49
Q

Circumduction

A

Moving in a circular or conical shape

50
Q

Dorsi-flexion

A

Bending or flexing the toes up, closer to the shin

51
Q

Plantar-flexion

A

Extending or pointing the toes down, away from the shin

52
Q

Ligaments

A

Elastic fibres that join one bone to another, to hold things together and keep them stable

53
Q

Tendons

A

None-elastic fibres that attach muscle to the bone

54
Q

Antagonistic pairs

A

When one muscle contracts (antagonist) the other relaxes (antagonist) to allow the joint to work

55
Q

Muscle fibres

A

Consists of a single muscle cell. They help to control the physical forces within the body.

When grouped together, they can facilitate organized movement of your limbs and tissues

56
Q

Type I

A

Slow-twitch muscle fibres; suited to low intensity work, e.g. marathon running, as they can be used for a long period without fatiguing

57
Q

Type IIa

A

Fast-twitch muscle fibres used in anaerobic work; can be improved through endurance training to increase their resistance to fatigue

58
Q

Type IIx

A

Fast-twitch muscle fibres used in anaerobic work and can generate much greater force than other fibre types, but fatigue quickly

59
Q

Myoglobin

A

A red pigment that transports oxygen to the muscles

60
Q

Voluntary muscles

A
  • Muscle movement under conscious control

- The muscles that help you walk, talk, pick up things, run, jump. You control how you use them

61
Q

Involuntary muscles

A
  • Muscle movement not under conscious control
  • They contract and relax automatically controlled by the nervous system. This happens without you needing to do anything
62
Q

Cardiac muscles

A

Found in the wall of the heart and works to keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements. It is made up of interlaced fibres.

63
Q

Vascular

A
