Q

Frontal plane

A

Divides the body into front and back
Transverse Plane
- Divides the body into upper and lower
- Rotational motion
- Sideways motion
- Abduction and Adduction - e.g. star jump, lateral dumbbell raise, goalkeeper dive

17
Q

Transverse plane

A
  • Divides the body into upper and lower
  • Rotational motion
    • Sideways motion
  • Abduction and Adduction - e.g. star jump, lateral dumbbell raise, goalkeeper dive
  • Horizontal flexion, horizontal extension, medial rotation, lateral rotation
  • e.g. golf swing, discuss throw
18
Q

Agonist muscle

A

Muscle contracts and shortens to cause movement

19
Q

Antagonist muscle

A

Relaxes and lengthens to allow agonist to work

20
Q

Fixator muscle

A

Contracts to stabilise the movement and sometimes immobilising the joint where the movement originates to prevent any unwanted movement.

Q

Muscle fibres

A

Contract to make a muscle move, contains of myofibril

30
Q

Motor neurons

A

specialised cells that transmit nerve impulses from the CNS in the brain to muscle fibres

31
Q

Cell body

A

Located in the spinal cord

32
Q

Axon / neuron

A

Branch off from the cell body and send impulses to the motor end plate

33
Q

Motor end plate

A

Where the action potential of an impulse travels to, to stimulate a muscle

34
Q

Action potential

A

the electrical impulse that stimulates the muscle fibres to produce an ‘action’
