25
Anatomy
study of the structure of organisms and their parts
26
Systemic Anatomy
study of different systems of the body
27
Regional Anatomy
study of anatomy based on regions or divisions of the body
28
Gross Anatomy
Structures of the body that are visible to the naked eye (big)
29
Major Regions
Head (cephalic), neck (cervical), thorax (thoracic), abdomen, pelvis (pelvic), upper extremity, lower extremity
30
Lymphatic
returns fluid to blood, defends against pathogens
31
Respiratory
Removes carbon dioxide from the body, delivers oxygen to blood
32
Digestive
process food for use by the body, removes wastes from undigested food
33
Urinary
controls water balance in the body, removes wastes from blood and excretes them
34
Male Reproductive
produces sex hormones and gametes, delivers gametes to female
35
Female Reproductive
produces sex hormones and gametes, supports embryo/fetus until birth, produces milk for infant
36
Integumentary
Encloses internal body structures, site of many sensory receptors
37
Skeletal
supports the body, enables movement (with muscular system)
38
Muscular
Enables movement (with skeletal system), helps maintain body temp.
39
Nervous
detects and processes sensory info, activates bodily responses
40
Endocrine
Secretes hormones, regulates bodily processes
41
Cardiovascular
delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, equalizes temp in the body
42
Nervous
Made up of neurons and glia (supporting cells of neuron), function of neurons allows for communication to occur
43
Muscle
Allow movement, 3 types are cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
44
Epithelial
Forms boundaries between enviroments, 4 types (simple squamous- one layer, stratified squamous- many layers, simple cubodial-shaped like cubes, simple columnar- looks like columns) function is protection, secretion, and absorption
45
Connective
Supports, protects, and bonds, made up of gels and fibers
46
Important Systems in Biomechanics
Muscular and Skeletal
47
Biomechanics
the study and application of physics and mechanical laws to movement – joint angles, forces, etc
48
Statistics
Bodies, masses and forces @ rest in equilibrium
49
Dynamics
Bodies, masses and forces in motion
50
Temporal Analysis
Uses time as sole basis for analysis
51
Kinematics
changing (without taking into account forces)
52
Kinetics
actions of forces in producing or changing the motion of masses
53
Flexion
a bending movement that decreases the angle between a segment and its proximal segment
54
Extension
opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts
55
Abduction
motion away from the midline (move away from your body)
56
Adduction
motion towards the center of the body (ADD on to body)
57
Inversion
Tilt the sole of the foot toward
58
Eversion
Away from midline (outward)
59
Supination
rotation of the forearm or foot so that in the standard anatomical position the palm or sole is facing anteriorly
60
Pronation
rotation of the forearm or foot so that in the standard anatomical position the palm or sole is facing posteriorly
61
Mass
quantity of matter in an object (kg)
62
Force
the pushing or pulling action that one object exerts on another; Force (N) = mass x acceleration
63
Impulse
when a force is applied to a body, the resulting motion is dependent not only on the magnitude of the force but also the duration; Impulse = Force x time (N x sec)
64
Work
the rate at which work is done; work (joules) = force x distance
65
Power
the rate at which work is done; Power (w)=work/time
66
Inertia
an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force
67
Force
the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied
68
Action + Reaction
whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first
69
Athletic Trainer
Medical professional who care for active populations
70
Purpose of Athletic Training
Injury/illness prevention and wellness protection, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergent care, treat and rehabilitation
71
Common Tasks of Athletic Training
Prevention taping and bracing, fitting and teaching crutch use, casting
