Overall Exam Revision Flashcards
(24 cards)
Endocardium
The inner layer of the heart
Myocardium
The strong middle layer that forms most of the heart
Epicardium
The outer layer of the heart
Ligament
Connects bone to bone
Osteoporosis
Where the bones get weaker
Tendon
Connects muscle to bone
Flat bone
Function- protection of the vital organs attachment of muscles to help movement.
- Ribs
- cranium
Short bone
- carpals
- Tarsals
-Bones that are as wide as they are long. Their primary function is to provide support and stability with little to no movement.
Synovial fluid
Lubricates the joints to stop friction
Long bone
Long bones are hard dence bones that provides strength and structure and mobility
Osteoclasts
Where you have low calcium in the bone
Skeletal muscle
Voluntary which means it’s constantly under conscious thought
Skeletal muscle are critical to movement and exercise connected to the skeletal system via tendons.
Synovial membrane
-produces synovial fluid
Synovial joints
- pivot
- hinge
- condyloid
- saddle
- gliding
- ball and socket
Functions of muscular system
- producing movement
- maintaining body posture
- generating heat to keep us warm
Storage of glycogen and energy
Involuntary muscle
- A muscle that works without conscious thought
How muscular system produces movement
-muscular system produces movement by contracting and relaxing
Cardiac muscle
Pumps blood around the body
Composed of straighted muscle
It’s involuntary
Osteoarthritis
Where the membrane doesn’t produce synovial fluids for the cartilage
Functions of skeletal system
Supports the body
Facilitates movement
Protects internal organs
Produces blood cells
Irregular bone
Vertebrae
Sacrum
Provides shape and protection
Osteoblasts
Transports the calcium into the bone marrow. When we train osteoblasts increases
Long term effects of training on the skeletal system
Long term physical activity can improve your bone density increasing the strength of ligaments of the joints associated.
Long term muscular adaptations
Hypertrophy
Increased strength of tendons
Increased strength of ligaments
