25
c1
atlas
26
c2
axis
27
Occiput
- base of the skull where C1 attaches to there is no disc
28
Fissure
- annular tearing in your disk
29
Disks
- located between the vertebra
30
Ligament
- bone to bone (Sprain) prevents overextension
31
Tendon
muscle to bone (strain)
32
joint
- meeting place between two bones
33
Joint capsule
- sealed with synovial membrane which produces a lubricant for the joints
34
Isometric contraction
- contraction without movement (pushing against a wall)
35
isotonic movement
- contraction of movement
36
concentric contraction
- muscle shortens like flexing your arm
37
Eccentric contraction
- muscle releases as it elongates
38
Periosteum
- strong membrane that covers BONE
39
Fascia
- glue like substance that covered MUSCLE helps form scar tissue hold in water and body heat
40
Golgi apparatus
- nerve endings that send messages to the brain
41
Proprioception
- mind body connection
42
Muscle spindles
- prevent over stretching tells your body you need to slow down
43
Muscle tears-
1-2-3 (2 is most painful) 1- 25% torn 2-75% torn 3-more than 75%
44
massage moves
Stroking- hand over hand technique Effleurage- hands going opposite directions gliding movement done with palms Compression- flat hand with rhythmic pressure (CRP) Kneading – motion where its like kneading bread Muscle squeezing- done along the neck Wringing- when palms move up to meet fingertips clapping- flat side of hand cupping- cupped hand
45
Function of circulatory system
- oxygen, regulates body temp, removes waste, provides nutrition
46
Order of blood circulation
-aorta (o2 leaves)- arteries (carry o2)- arterials- capillaries(end game where o2 goes to get dispersed)- venule- - veins - venacava - Right atrium (deoxygenated blood goes in) - lung (oxygenates the blood) - pulmonary artery - pulmonary vein (takes the newly oxygenated blood back to the heart)
47
Pulmonary artery
- carries NON-OXYGENATED blood AWAY from heart to the lungs
48
Pulmonary Veins
- carry OXYGENATED blood TO the heart from the lungs
49
vitals
Equine vitals – breath 12-16 BPM heart- 28-40
50
Lymphatic system
- body’s first line of defense
51
Hernia
- inner part squishes out when the outer part tears hits a nerve and causes pain
52
Somatic nervous system
- things that you control aka movement
53
Autonomic system
- things that function automatically, aka heartbeat breathing digestion
54
Sympathetic
– fight or flight response nerves exit the thoracic spine
55
Parasympathetic
– rest and digest response nerves exit the upper cervical lumbar spine
56
Central nervous system
- brain and spinal chord
57
Peripheral
- where all nerves exiting the spine go
58
Afferent
- sensory nerves aka pain
59
Efferent
motor nerves aka function
60
Sweeny
- a loss of motor nerve function
61
How nerves are numbered in the cervical spine
- they are numbered by the vertebra UNDER it (Occiput C1 nerve then C1 vertebra, C2 nerve C2 vertebra)
62
How nerves are numbered in the thoracic spine-
nerves are numbered by the vertebra ABOVE (T1 vertebra then T1 nerve T2 vertebra T2 nerve)
63
Myofibrils
Long thread muscle cells
64
Muscle fiber
A muscle cell made of myofibrils
