What is in a synovial joint
Synovial membrane, synovial fluid, bursae, joint capsule cartilage, ligaments
Name the types of synovial joints
Hinge and ball and socket
Name a synovial joint in the body
Knee, elbow, hip, shoulder
What are the functions of the skeleton
Protection, Mineral storage, blood cell production, movement, support and structural shape and points for attachment.
What bones are found in the leg
talus, fibula, tibia, femur
what bones are found in the arm
humerus, radius, ulna
what bones are found in the torso
ribs, pelvis, sternum, scapula, cranium, spine(vertebrae)
what muscles are found in the arm
bicep, tricep
what muscles are found in the leg
quadricep, hamstring, gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior
what muscles are found in the torso
hip flexors, gluteals, abdominals, pectorals, lattimus dorsi, deltiod and rotator cuffs
what movement happens at the elbow
flexion and extension
what movement happens at the ankle
dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
what movement happens at the knee
flexion and extension
what movement happens at the hip
flexion, extension, adduction and abduction
what movement happens at the shoulder
Rotation, sewrcumduction, adduction and abduction
what is an agonist muscle
the muscle that contracts to complete the movement
what is the antagonist muscle
the muscles that relaxes to complete the movement
what is an eccentric contraction
when the muscle contracts but still elongates
what is a concentric contraction
when the muscle contracts and gets shorter
what is an isometric contraction
when the muscle contracts but the length doesn’t change
name the 2 isotonic contractions
eccentric and concentric
what is the route of the air when inspiring
mouth/nose => trachea => bronchus => bronchioles => alveoli => blood
how is the alveoli adapted for gaseous exchange
high surface area, one cell thick, large blood supply and steep concentration gradient
describe a artery
thick muscle walls, small lumen and carries blood away from the heart
