band of connective tissue - attach, stabilize, close, separate muscles and organs

Question 14

muscles

Answer 14

band of fibers/connective tissue

3 types of muscles

Answer 15

cardiac (heart walls- involuntarily contracts), smooth (walls of hollow visceral organs), skeletal (attached to skeleton)

Question 16

4 functions of skeletal muscles

Answer 16

force generation for movement, force generation of breathing, force generation for postural support, heart production

appendages- hips, legs, shoulder, arms

Question 25

5 types of bones

Answer 25

flat (protect organs), sesamoid (reinforce tendons, patella), irregular (complex shape, vertebrae in back/sacrum), short (cube shaped, around ankle and wrist), long (support weight, facilitate movement, stability)

Question 26

when does sacrum fully form?

Answer 26

around 30

Question 27

3 main planes of movement

Answer 27

sagital, horizontal, frontal

Question 28

sagital plane

Answer 28

vertical line that divides body into right and left section, forward and backward movement (forward fold)

Question 29

horiztonal plane

Answer 29

transverse line divides body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) - rotation moves (twisting head)

Question 30

frontal plane

Answer 30

(coronal) lateral line divides body into front and back - side to side movement

Question 31

anatomical position

Answer 31

standing straight upright

opposite- bicep curl (flexion) and tricep extension - antagonistic pair

Question 33

flexion

Answer 33

decreases angle between 2 body parts (usually sagital plane)

Question 34

extension

Answer 34

increases angle between 2 body parts (sagital plane)

Question 35

abduction

Answer 35

movement away from midline of body (leg out to side)muscle on outside of thigh

Question 36

adduction

Answer 36

movement toward front midline (leg inward)muscles on inside of thigh

Question 37

elevation

Answer 37

movement in superior direction (upwards) shoulders shrugging up

Question 38

depression

Answer 38

movement in inferior direction (towards lower) - slouching

Question 39

dorsiflexion

Answer 39

ankle, foot flexed, movement toward body

plantar

Answer 42

sole of foot (inferior)

Question 43

inversion

Answer 43

movement of sole toward median plane - sole of foot rolled toward inner body

Question 44

eversion

Answer 44

movement of sole of foot away from tmedian plane - sole of foot rolled toward outer body

Question 45

circumduction

Answer 45

moving arm in conical shape- makes circles with arm/leg

Question 46
