movement at a gliding joint
sliding, gliding
36
movement at a pivot joint
twist
37
movement at a saddle joint
forwards and backwards, side to side
38
what are the 6 functions of the skeleton
structure, shape, protection, movement, blood cell production, mineral storage
39
definition of plantarflexion
point down
40
definition of horizontal adduction
moving closer to the midline along a horizontal plane
40
definition of dorsi flexion
point up (toes up)
41
definition of adduction
moving limb towards midline of body (adding it to body)
41
definition of abduction
moving limbs away from midline of the body
41
definition of extension
increasing angle at joint
42
definition of rotation
limbs move in a circular motion around a single axis
42
definition of flexion
decreasing angle at a joint
43
long term effects of exercise
more calcium, increased bone density, stringer ligaments
43
what the articulating bones at the knee joint?
femur and tibia
44
short term affects of exercise
increased synovial fluid
44
what is a joint capsule?
encloses a joint lined with a synovial membrane
44
what is cartilage?
glassy smooth tissue that covers the end of bones at a joint
45
what is the bursa?
sacs of fluid in increased areas of pressure
46
what is synovial fluid?
small sac of fluid located in the joints with any friction
47
what is the synovial membrane?
inner layer of synovial capsule
48
what are ligaments?
connects bones and prevents inappropriate movements
49
what is the function of a joint capsule?
enclosed the joint and is tough and fibrous
50
what is the function of cartilage?
reduces friction
51
what is the function of the bursa?
reduces friction between articulating bones and nourish the articular cartilage
52
what is the function of synovial fluid?
lubricates joints
53
what is the function of synovial membrane?
secretes, stores synovial fluid
54
what is the function of ligamaments?
attaches one bone to another
55
what are the effects of a warm up?
increase range of movement, reduce impact, lubricates joints with synovial fluid, increases blood flow
56
what are the effects of a cool down?
remove waste products from working muscles (lactic acid), reduce chance of fainting after an intense session
