Skeletal And Muscular Systems(paper 1) Flashcards
What is a ligament
A tough band of elastic connective tissue which connects bone to bone and aids with stability of a joint
What is synovial fluid
Lubricating liquid contained in joint cavity which reduces friction and nourishes the joint
What is articulate cartilage
Smooth tissue which covers the ends of bones which absorbs shock and allows friction free movement
What is the joint capsule
A fibrous sack with a inner synovial movement encloses and strengthens the joint
What is the bursa
A closes fluid filled sack where tendons run of bones and it reduces friction between tendons and bones
What movement is possible at a hinge joint
Flexion and extension
What movement is possible at a ankle joint
Dorsi and plantar flexion
What movement is possible at a ball and socket joint
Flexion and extension
Rotation
Abduction and adduction
Circumduction
What are the 6 muscles which cause movement at the shoulders
Anterior deltoid
Medial deltoid
Posterior deltoid
Trazius
latisamus dorsi
Pectoral major
What movements are possible at a pivot joint
Rotation
What movements are possible at a condyloid joint
Flexion and extension
In your wrist what muscle allows Movement
Wrist flexors
What is the sagital plane
Divides body left to right
What is the frontal plane
Divides body back to front
What is the transverse plane
Divides body top to bottom
Sporting example for all planes of movement
Transverse plane-spin in ice skating
Frontal plane-cartwheel
Sagittal plane-sommersualt
Agonists at the elbow contraction and exstension
Agonist-bicep brachi
Antagonist-tricep brachi
What is a motor neuron
A nerve cell which conducts a nerve impulse to a group of muscle fibres
2 characteristics of slow oxidative muscle fibres
Store oxygen in myoglobin
High density of mitochondria
Work areobically so last long
2 characteristics of fast glycotic muscle fibres
Large amounts of phosphocreatine
Short duration between fatigue
work aneroebically
2 characteristics of fast oxidative glycotic muscle fibres
Large amounts of force
Able to resist fatigue
Large stores of phosphocreatine
Moderate mitochondria and myoglobin in order to resist fatigue
Example of a gliding joint
Spine
What is the agonist and antagonist in your spine when performing a sit up
Agonist ererctore spinae
Antagonist rectus abdominus
Which side of the Heart holds oxygenated blood
Left
what are the articulating bones in the ankle
Tibia
fibia
talus
what are the agonist and antagonist which cause flexion at the wrist
agonist=wrist flexors
antagonist=wrist extensors
agonist and antagonist that cause flexion at the elbow
agonist=bicep brachii
antagonist=tricep brachii
agonist and antagonist that cause flexion at the shoulder
agonist=anterior deltoid
antagonist=posterior deltoid
agonist and antagonist that cause flexion at the hip
agonist=ilipsoas
antagonist=gluteus maximus
agonist and antagonist that cause flexion at the knee
agonist=bicep femoris
antagonist=rectus femoris
agonist and antagonist that cause dorsi flexion at the ankle
agonist=tibialis anterior
antagonist=gastroncemius and soleus
what is a concentric muscle contraction
muscle shortens producing flexion-pulls two bones closer together=eg bicep curl
what is a eccentric muscle contraction
muscle contraction is when the muscle lengthens producing tension.
this resists forces such as gravity.-eg-downwards phase of bicep curl
what is a isometric muscle contraction
muscle contracts but doesn’t change length.
what are isotonic muscle contractions
muscular contraction which changes length during its contraction.
two ways=concentric and eccentric
what is a agonist
muscle responsible for causing movement=primary mover
what is a antagonist
muscle that opposes the agonist providing a resistance for co ordinated movement
what is a fixator
a muscle that stabalises one part of the body while another causes movement
what are the articulating bones in the knee
femur and tibia
