Q

Synovial

A

Freely movable (hips and knee joints)

17
Q

Isotonic

A

Muscle changes length

18
Q

Isometric

A

Muscle doesn’t change length

19
Q

Concentric

A

Shortens when contracting (more points of attachment)

20
Q

Eccentric

A

Lengthens when contracting (less points of attachment)

21
Q

Isokinetic

A

A special machine where the resistance (weight) changes through the range of motion through the muscle

22
Q

Reciprocal inhibition

A

Pair of muscles working together where the antagonist relaxes and the agonist contracts to create movement

23
Q

Agonist

A

Prime mover - muscle that contracts to create movement

24
Q

Antagonist

A

Muscle that relaxes to allow movement to take place

25
Q

Intercostal muscles

A

Muscles situated between each rib that contract and increase the size of the lungs to allow more oxygen into the lungs and relax to assist breathing

26
Q

Diaphragm

A

Muscle that contracts and moves down to increase lung size as we breathe and relaxes during expiration

27
Q

Gaseous exchange

A

During inspiration the oxygen moves from high pressure to low pressure areas such as moving from the alveoli into the capillaries which is know as pulmonary diffusion. Once the oxygen has gone into the blood and the carbon dioxide into the alveoli, the diaphragm pushes up and causes expiration

28
Q

the main components of the cardiovascular system

A
  • The heart
  • blood (red blood cells- carry oxygen, white blood cells- fight infection, plasma- liquid carrier, platelets- clots blood, haemoglobin - part of red blood cells that carries oxygen)
  • blood vessels (arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins)
29
Q

Blood pressure

A

The pressure of blood against the blood vessels

30
Q

Systolic blood pressure

A

The pressure of the blood in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts

31
Q

Dyastolic blood pressure

A

The pressure of blood in the arteries when the heart relaxes

32
Q

Medial

A

Closer to the midline of the body
