ANATOMY Flashcards
1
Q
proprioception
A
Awareness of the position of body in space or movement.
2
Q
Entropy
A
The natural state of things is disorder. Yoga helps to keep things orderly & focused in mind/body.

Habitual patterning
A
Patterns in the body due to lifestyle, injuries, emotion, environment, etc

Intrinsic equilibrium
A
Stacking of bones to use least amount of muscular tension

A
Dense tissue; support/structure
23
Q
Muscle
A
Flexible tissue; move bones; red (02 & blood)
24
Q
Tendon
A
Muscle to bone; pink (less o2 & blood)
25
Ligament
Bone to bone; white (no o2 & blood)
26
Fascia
Membrane that surrounds tissue; connective tissue around muscle/muscle fibers.
Stretch it by using the breath and holding posture longer.
27
Hinge joint
Knee, elbow
28
Ball & socket joint
Hip, shoulder
29
Ball & socket joint
Hip, shoulder
30
Condyloid
Fingers, wrists. Moves on 2 planes
31
Axiel skeleton
Cranium/ribcage/spine/sternum
32
Appendicular skeleton
Everything else than the axiel skeleton
33
S.I. Joints
Sacro-illiac joints
2 of them
Often times sore/painful from irregular movement— it yanks on the nerves around the joints
34
Inversion component parts
1. Core
2. Wrist strength/stability
3. Shoulder strength/stability
4. Hamstring length (to get pelvis high)
35
Cervical

36
Cervical

37
Thoracic

38
Thoracic
12
39
Lumbar
5
40
Sacrum
5 fused
(Has SI JOINT)
41
Tailbone
Coccyx
3-5
42
Muscles quicker to heal than tendons
Tendons quicker to heal than ligaments
43
Never sit on joints
Use muscles around joints to protect ligaments
44
Number one teaching rule
Co-contraction: use muscles on either side of joint to protect it!
45
Symmetrical
Both sides are doing the same thing
46
Neutral
Symmetrical- toes are pointed in the same direction as frontal hipbones
A symmetrical -front foot is pointed in the same direction as shoulders
47
Anatomical planes (pelvis)
Sagittal: front and back, flexion and extension
Coronal: side to side, abduction (away) and adduction (into)
Transverse : rotation
Create sequences that balance all planes for a flow.
48
External shoulder rotation
Always, unless binding the shoulders and arms
49
Anterior longitudinal ligament
Frontal Spinal ligament that keeps discs in place & vertebrae in place
50
Posterior longitudinal ligament
Back spinal ligament that is weaker than the anterior ligament. Can herniate a disc by forward bending (stretches the ligament)…. Back bending much safer
51
Transverse processes
Stick out to the side of the spine (connect to ribs)
52
Spinous processes
Part of the vertebrae that you can touch on your spine/back
53
Kegels
Engage pelvic muscles, which also engages transverse abdominous
54
Hip flexors
Common/big ones are the psoas muscles
55
Lordosis
Curving in (cervical)
56
Kyphosis
Curving out (thoracic and sacrum)
57
Protruding vertebrae on the neck
C7
58
Serratus anterior
Muscle that connects upper ribs to scapula and needs to be strong in order to protract or move out the shoulder blades for an inversion
59
Eccentric
Long/lengthened
60
Concentric
Pulling/tightening in
61
Uddiyana bhanda
Energetic lock in the lower belly that sucks in. Zip belly in to make you feel longer and lighter.
62
Mula bhanda
Energetic lock in the pelvic muscles.
63
Hasta bhanda
Energetic lock in the palms
64
Jalandhara bandha
Throat/chin lock
65
Fingers joints
Condyloid
66
Sciatica
Sciatic nerve :Tail of nerves coming off of spinal cord down, butt & legs
Can be a consequence of a herniated disc
Often hurts in pregnant women
67
Possible causes of injury
Poor sequencing
Rapid uncontrolled movements
Muscle exhaustion
Pre-existing conditions (most common)
Not properly warmed up : many people skip this
68
Strain
injury to tendon or muscle (pulled)
~ never stretch after strenuous exercise
~ mainly happens in eccentric movement
69
Eccentric movement
Muscle contraction that lengthen the muscle while it’s still contracted
70
Sprain
Sprain : injury to ligament.
~ co contraction
~ never fully heals
71
Tendinitis
Inflamed tendon
~ repetitive stress injury
~ do not stretch: rest and don’t use muscle
~ often shoulders and wrists
72
Bursitis
Inflamed joint
Bursa : fluid fill sack inside joint (synovial fluid)
73
Osteoarthritis
Cartilage wears away
Age and repetition
74
Osteoporosis
Bone density reduces
Weight-bearing is good
75
Herniated disc
Slipped disc (nucleus is middle of disc)
Only hurts of pressing on nerve.
Discs create a cushion for spine
76
Scoliosis
S shape of spine in coronal plane
Create severe muscular imbalances
You will see one side of spine raised, pelvis is not totally straight
77
Cartilage
Cushions bones so they don’t rub. Can wear down and doesn’t grow back.
78
Universal healing method
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Prevention
Reasses in 24 hours
79
Stages of injuries
Acute - immediate/painful
Chronic- reoccurring/not sure when started
Rehabilitative - working through diagnosed injury
80
Sensations (3)
Somatic- localized, pull/strained
Visceral - deep dull pain
Neuropathic - shooting sharp electrical tingle
81
6 pack
Rectus abdominis
