21
Q

Concentric

A

Muscle shortens through a range of motion at a joint - ie glute and back in bow pose, abs in boat

22
Q

Eccentric

A

Lengthens through movement at joint - gluts moving out of bridge, quands into warrior II

23
Q

Number of Vertebrae in how many sections?

A

33 & 5

Cervical
Thoracic
Lumbar
Sacrum
Sacroiliac
24
Q

Cervical

A

7, skull base to shoulders

25
Q

Thoracic

A

12, top of back to lowest rib

26
Q

Lumbar

A

5, weight bearing lowest rib to top of sacrum

27
Q

Sacrum

A

5, attaches spine to pelvis

28
Q

Sacroiliac

A

3, transfers weight between axial and appendicular

29
Q

Bursa

A

Sacs of fluid on joints which cushion impact

30
Q

Smooth Muscles

A

Involuntary movement, ie digestive and reproductive

31
Q

Skeletal Muscles

A

Usually linked to bone with tendon. Primary muscles used in yoga
Agonist, Prime mover, antagonist, synergist

32
Q

Agonist

A

Prime mover, contracts, usually shorten, opposes antagonist

33
Q

Antagonist

A

Relaxes and lengthens, slows movement, returns limb to original position

34
Q

Synergist

A

Muscles which assist in movement, create stability, also called neutraliser

35
Q

Origin

A

Attached end that doesn’t move during contraction, usually proximal relative to insertion. More stable during exertion and usually higher mass

36
Q

Insertion

A

Usually further from truck, more unstable end of contracting muscle.

37
Q

Flexion

A

Decrease joint angle (Sagittal plane)

38
Q

Extension

A

Increase joint angle (Sagittal plane) (Elbow, knee, trunk, neck, hip, foot, wrist & shoulder)

39
Q

Rotation

A

Medial and Lateral

40
Q

Medial (internal) rotation

A

Movement of a joint toward the midline of the body

41
Q

Lateral (external) rotation

A

The movement of a joint away from the midline of the body

42
Q

Abduction

A

Movement of a limb away from the midline

43
Q

Adduction

A

Movement of a limb toward the midline

44
Q

Muscle origin and insertion

A

Refers to where the muscles attach to the joint.

45
Q

Origin

A

Attached end that doesn’t move during contraction, usually proximal relative to insertion. More stable during exertion and usually higher mass

46
Q

Insertion

A

Usually further from truck, more unstable end of contracting muscle

47
Q

Fibrous

A

Immovable, held by strong tissue ie skull bones

48
Q

Cartilaginous

A

minimal movement, connected vertebra etc

49
Q

Synovial

A

Max movement, typically at the end of long bones, ball and socket, hinge, saddle

50
Q

Three muscle types

A

Skeletal, smooth and cardiac
