Q

A

Blood cells

18
Q

How are muscles attached to bones

A

Tendons

19
Q

What happens when a muscle contracts

A

It applies force to the bone, it’s attached to which makes the bone move 

20
Q

What are muscles found in

A

Pairs

21
Q

What are muscles round

A

Joints

22
Q

What is a tendon

A

A tough band that does not stretch to allow movement 

23
Q

What are antagonistic muscles

A

Pairs of muscles that work against each other

24
Q

What happens when one muscle contracts ( shortens )

A

The other relaxes ( lengthens )

25
Q

What is the study of forces acting on the body?

A

Biomechanics 

26
Q

What is a pivot?

A

The point around which something rotates 

27
Q

What is a lever

A

A bar attached to a pivot

28
Q

What is a turning effect? 

A

When a force acts on something that has a pivot

29
Q

What is involved when a force act on the body? 

A

Pivot, levers and moments

30
Q

What is another word for turning effect?

A

Moment 

31
Q

How do you calculate moment?

A

Force times perpendicular distance 

32
Q

What is perpendicular distance? 

A

The distance at a right angle from the pivot to the line of force 

33
Q

What does the muscle have to do to keep the arm still when force is applied? 

A

It has to counteract that force and keep it equal 

34
Q

What is the force equation?

A

Moment divided by perpendicular distance

35
Q

What is a ball and socket?

A

A joint that allows movement in all directions

36
Q

What is a hinge?

A

A joint that allows movement, backwards and forwards

37
Q

What is a ligament?

A

Tissue that can stretch slightly to allow movement

38
Q

What is cartilage?

A

Tissue that is smooth to allow movement

39
Q

What is a fixed joint?

A

A joint that does not allow movement

40
Q

Why is cartilage and fluid needed in a joint?

A

Cartilage and fluid and needed a joint to prevent friction in the bones, rubbing together
