25
Name the anatomical planes
Sagittal Frontal Transverse
26
Describe the sagittal plane and the movements in it.
Divides the body down the center into left and right sides. Any movements forward, back, up, or down.
27
Describe the frontal plane and the movements in it.
Divides the body vertically into back and front. Any movements laterally.
28
Describe the transverse plane and the movements in it.
Divides the body horizontally into halves. Any movements which involve rotation.
29
How many anatomical axis are there?
3
30
Name the anatomical axis
Frontal Sagittal Longitudinal
31
# Fill in the blank If I was in the sagittal plane, I must be in the ___ axis.
Frontal
32
# Fill in the blank If I was in the frontal plane, I must be in the ___ axis.
Sagittal
33
# Fill in the blank If I was in the transverse plane, I must be in the ___ axis.
Longitudinal
34
What are the 5 types of anatomical movements?
``` Flexion Extension Abduction Adduction Rotation ```
35
What is the CNS?
Central Nervous System
36
What is the PNS?
Peripheral Nervous System
37
What is the difference between the CNS and PNS?
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.
38
What is a saddle joint? And give one example
A joint so called because of its saddle-like shape, which provides movement in all directions apart from axial rotation. E.g. Thumb
39
What is a plane joint? And give one example
A joint where the bottoms of the bones are almost flat allowing a small amount of gliding movement. E.g. Between the metacarpals
40
What is a pivot joint? And give one example
A joint which allows axial rotation E.g. The joint between the radial and ulna
41
What is a ball and socket joint? And give one example
A joint in which one ball-shaped end of the bone inserts into a socket-like gap to allow a large ROM. E.g. Shoulder
42
What is a hinge joint? And give one example
Much like the hinge on a door, they allow bones to move in one plane of motion without much ROM in other planes. E.g. Elbow
43
What is a condyloid joint? And give one example
Although it sounds similar to a ball and socket joint, condyloid joints only allow for forward-backward and side-to-side movement and do not allow rotation. E.g. Wrist
44
Name and describe the 3 types of muscle?
Smooth - Helps move food through the digestive tract Cardiac - Makes up the thick middle layer of the heart Skeletal - Muscles that connect to bones and allow you to move
45
What are the 5 types of muscle action?
``` Antagonist Agonist Synergist Fixator Stabiliser ```
46
What are the characteristics of skeletal muscle?
Excitability Contractibility Extendability Elasticity
47
Name the 3 types of muscle contraction
Isotonic Isometric Isokinetic
48
What are the 3 muscle fiber types, and their purpose in the body?
Type 1 - Slow twitch (Endurance) Type 2a - Fast twitch (Middle distance/rugby/football) Type 2x - Fast twitch (Power)
49
What is the definition of anatomy?
The science dealing with the form and arrangement of body parts.
50
What is the definition of exercise physiology?
The study of the effects of exercise on the body before, after, and during exercise.
51
What is the definition of osteology?
The study of bones.
52
How many bones are in the human body?
206
53
What is an antagonist and agonist?
The muscle that causes movement, and the opposing muscle which facilitates the movement.
54
What is a synergist?
A muscle that prevents unwanted movement
55
What is a fixator?
A fixator supports the bone origin of the antagonist
56
What is a stabiliser?
In any movement, stabilizer muscles act to stabilize one joint so the desired movement can be performed in another joint.
57
What does the right side of the heart do?
Pumps blood through the lungs
58
What does the left side of the heart do?
Pumps blood through the rest of the body.
59
Describe the path of oxygen through the body.
...
60
Describe the path of blood through the cardiovascular system.
