1.1a- Skeletal & Muscular- Movement

Question 1

Flexion

Answer 1

reducing the angle at a joint- bending the knee

Question 2

Extension

Answer 2

increases the angle of a joint- straightening the elbow

Question 3

Adduction

Answer 3

Moving the limb toward the midline of the body- bringing a leg in

Question 4

Abduction

Answer 4

Movement away from the midline of the body- moving the arm away from the other

Question 5

Rotation

Answer 5

the turning of a bone around its own long axis either clockwise or anti-clockwise- turning leg to point toes

Question 6

Dorsi-flexion

Answer 6

Decrease in the angle of the joint between the foot and lower leg

Question 7

plantar flexion

Answer 7

pointing toes, increases the angle of the ankle joint

Question 8

Horizontal flexion & extension

Answer 8

movement of the limbs away from or to midline of body while parallel to ground

Question 9

Horizontal flexion

Answer 9

Movement of the limbs towards the midline of the body parallel to the ground.

Question 10

horizontal extension

Answer 10

Movement of the limbs away from the midline of the body parallel to the ground.

Question 11

Isotonic Muscle Contractions

Answer 11

Tension is produced and there is a change in muscle length

Question 12

isometric contraction

Answer 12

Tension produced but no change in muscle length

Question 13

What two types can isotonic be broken down to?

Answer 13

Concentric and Eccentric

Question 14

concentric

Answer 14

muscle shortens

Question 15

eccentric

Answer 15

muscle lengthens

Question 16

Antagonistic Pairs

Answer 16

Pair of muscles that work together to produce movement at a joint

Question 17

Agonist

Answer 17

muscle that contracts to produce a movement- controls the movement

Question 18

Frontal plane

Answer 18

divides the body into anterior and posterior portions (front and back)

Question 19

Transverse plane

Answer 19

divides the body into superior and inferior parts (upper and lower)

Question 20

sagittal plane

Answer 20

vertical division of the body into right and left portions

Question 21

movement in sagittal plane

Answer 21

flexion and extension

Question 22

movement in transverse plane

Answer 22

rotation

Question 23

movement in frontal plane

Answer 23

abduction and adduction
