What are osteoclasts?
Bone cells responsible for removing bone tissue
What are osteoblasts?
Cells that are responsible for bone formation
What are the ends of long bones called?
Ephiysus
The shaft portion of a long bone
Periosteum
Where bone marrow is stored
Medullar cavity
What initiates the electrical impulse to contract the hear?
SA Node
What receives and delays the electrical impulse in the heart and directs them to the walls and ventricles?
AV Node
Largest artery in the hear that carries blood away from the heart
Aorta

Force-Couple that produces upward rotation of the scapula
Upper Trapezius and the lower portion of the serratus anterior
Force-Couple that produces hip & knee extension during walking, running, etc.
Gluteus Maximus, Quadriceps, Calve muscles
Force-Couple that produces plantarflexion at the foot and ankle complex

Zone 2 Heart Rate Percentage range
76%-85%
Method of action that static stretching uses primarily
autogenic inhibition
what is autogenic inhibition?
When neural impulses of the GTO are greater than the impulses of the muscle contractions creating an inhibition effect
How long do you hold a static stretch? Why?
30 seconds, it takes that long for the GTO to override the muscle spindle
Active-Isolated stretching is included in what level of flexibility?
Active Flexibility
