Q

Explain the difference between abduction and adduction?

Q

Explain the difference between the agonist and antagonist

A

Agonist: muscle contracting and therefore responsible for movement
Antagonist: muscle that is relaxing and lengthening

Q

Identify the types of muscular contractions

A

Two types of muscular contractions:

  1. ISOTONIC - in which there are two types: 1a. concentric and 1b. eccentric
  2. ISOMETRIC

ISOMETRIC

Q

Describe the types of muscular contractions

A
  1. ISOTONIC: muscle contracts to create movement (think of tonic water, it moves = contraction to create movement)

1a. ISOTONIC concentric = muscle shortens under tension
1b. ISOTONIC eccentric = muscle lengthens under tension (acts as a brake)

  1. ISOMETRIC: when a muscle contracts without lengthening or shortening therefore resulting in no movement.

Q

Give an example of an isotonic eccentric contraction

A

Landing from a standing jump - for the quadriceps to support the body weight of landing they lengthen under tension

Q

Identify the difference between the state of extension and flexion

Q

Identify the plane and axes

A

Plane:
Sagittal plane
Frontal plane
Transverse plane

Axes:
Transverse axis
Sagittal axis
Longitudinal axis

17
Q

Identify the difference between Dorsi and Plantar flexion

A

Plantra flexion: toes pointed
Dorsi flexion: flexing of feet

Dorsi flexion: toes up to shin

18
Q

Describe how the planes of movement ‘divide’ the body into sections

A

Sagittal plane - left & right
Frontal plane - front & back
Transverse plane - upper and lower half (head and toes)

19
Q

Move _____ a plane (movement) and _____ an axis

A

Move ALONG a plane (movement) and AROUND an axis

20
Q

In order, Identify the bones in the spine

A

C - ervical
T - horacic
L - umbar
S - acrum
C - occyx

(Cuddly teddies love some cuddles)

21
Q

Move ___ a plane and ___ an axis

A

Move IN a plane and AROUND an axis

22
Q

What type of movement does the sagittal plane allow?

A

Extension/flexion

23
Q

What type of movement does the transverse plane allow?

24
Q

What type of movement does the frontal plane allow?

A

Abd + adduction

25
Identify what is meant by the term 'articulating'
Bones that meet and move at the joint
26
Identify the types of joints
Hinge Ball and socket Pivot Condyloid Saddle
27
Identify the functions of the skeleton
- Protection of the vital organs - Muscle attachment (tendons) - Joints for movements - Blood cell production - Mineral storage
28
Identify which minerals are stored in bones
Calcium and phosphorus
29
What does bone marrow produce?
Red blood cells
30
Identify the types of bones in the body. Include an example to support your answer
Long - humerus, radius, ulna Short - carpals, metacarpals Flat - cranium, scapula Irregular - vertebrae Sesamoid - patella (bones with a tendon)
31
Describe the characteristics of the types of bones in the body.
Long - 'levers' of the body, blood cell production, where movement happens Short - small, cube shaped bones, weight-bearing, absorb stress, Flat - thin, flat, protection Irregular - complex shapes, protection, support Sesamoid - bones with a tendon, small, smooth surface for tendons to slide over
32
State the different types of joints and identify the movements they allow
Hinge - flexion & extension Ball and socket - abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction, flexion, extension Pivot - Condyloid Saddle
33
Explain the difference between circumduction and rotation
Circumduction - where the limb can move in circles Rotation - turning 360 degrees
34
Identify where the axes of movement travel through the body
Transverse - line through left to right arm Sagittal - line through belly button Longitudinal - line through head to toes
