Talk about the Ligament in a Synovial
Joint
Structure- Strong band of fibrous tissue which are fixed to the bones in a joint
Functions- Connects bone to bone
Talk about the Articular Cartilage in a Synovial Joint
Structure- Smooth cartilage that is spongy end covers ends of bones in joint
Function- Absorb shock and prevent friction between the ends of the bones in a joint
Talk about Synovial Membrane in Synovial Joint
Structure- Very thin membrane which lines the inside surface of joint capsule
Function- Produces synovial fluid
Talk about Synovial Fluid in the Synovial Joint
Structure- Oily fluid, yellowish in colour
Function- Lubricate the cartilage surfaces by reducing friction between them
Identify three structures of the hip joint and describe the role of each structure during physical performance (3)
1) The hip joint has a ligament which connects bone to bone and this allows movement in the legs during physical performance
2) The hip joint has articular cartilage and this reduces risk of injury by absorbing shock in physical performance
3) The hip joint has synovial fluid and this reduces friction between the pelvis and femur
Talk about Transverse Plane
-Divides the body into upper and lower parts
-Movements are: Rotation, Lateral Rotation, Lateral Extension
E.G. Rotation of the arm in a discus throw
Talk about Frontal Plane
-Divides the body into anterior/front and posterior/back
-Movements are: Abduction, Adduction
E.G. Cartwheel
Talk about Sagittal Plane
- Divides the body into left and right from the medial to the lateral
- Movements are: Flexion, Extension, Plantar Flexion, Dorsi Flexion
E.G. Extension and Flexion of the arm in a bicep curl
What is Flexion?
A decrease in the angle around the Joint (forwards- except the knee)
What is extension?
An increase in the angle around a joint (Backwards- except the knee)
What is abduction?
Movement away from the midline of the body
What is adduction?
Movement towards the midline of the body
What is rotation?
Movement of a bone around its axis.
Rotation Inward= Medial
Rotation Outward= Lateral
What is circumduction?
The lower end of the bone moves in a circle
What is Horizontal Flexion?
Arm parallel to ground, shoulder joint moves towards the middle of the body
What us Horizontal Extension?
Arm parallel to ground, Shoulder moves away from the middle of the body
What is Plantar Flexion?
Bending the foot downwards away from the shin
What is Dorsi Flexion?
Bending the foot upwards towards the shin
What is the agonist muscle?
The muscle responsible for creating movement at a joint, the prime mover
What is the Antagonist muscle?
A muscle that opposes the agonist providing a resistance for co-ordinated movement
What is the Fixator Muscle?
A muscle that stabilises one part of a body while another causes movement
Talk about the Wrist Joint?
Joint type: Condyloid
Articulating Bones: Radius, Ulna, Carpals
Agonist- Antagonist Flexion= Wrist Flexors, Wrist Extensors Extension= Wrist Extensors, Wrist Flexors
Talk about the Elbow Joint?
Joint Type: hinge
Articulating Muscles:mHumerus, Radius, Ulna
AGONIST->ANTAGONIST
Flexion= Bicep Brachii ->Tricep Brachii
Extension=Tricep Brachii-> Bicep Brachii
Talk about Shoulder Joint( FLEXION, EXTENSION, ABDUCTION, ADDUCTION)
Joint type: Ball and Socket
Articulating Bones: Humerus, Scapula
Agonist->Antagonist
FLEXION= Anterior Deltoid-> Posterior Deltoid
EXTENSION=Posterior Deltoid-> Anterior Deltoid
ABDUCTION=Middle Deltoid-> Latissimus Dorsi
ADDUCTION= Latissimus Dorsi-> Middle Deltoid
