Anatomy

Question 1

movers and stabilizers

Answer 1

a muscle acting as a mover helps to initiate the movement; a muscle acting as a stabilizer helps to stabilize the movement

Question 2

internal rotation

Answer 2

movement of a joint which rotates the limb, or part of the limb, inwards toward the front midline of the body

Question 3

external rotation

Answer 3

movement of a joint which rotates the limb, or part of the limb, outwards away from the midline of the body

Question 4

inner spiral

Answer 4

when the muscle rotates around the bone inward toward the front and center-line of the body

Question 5

outer spiral

Answer 5

when the muscle rotates around the bone and outward away from the front and center-line of the body

Question 6

concentric contraction

Answer 6

when a muscle is shortened and contracted

Question 7

eccentric contraction

Answer 7

when a muscle is lengthened and contracted

Question 8

tension vs compression

Answer 8

when a muscle is stretched to its maximum ability, further movement is inhibited by tension. When further movement is inhibited due to bone structure, the bone meeting bone creates compression. It is possible to move further into a pose that is currently inhibited by tension, whereas movement past compression will never occur

Question 9

range of motion

Answer 9

the range that a joint can move ease fully without recruiting unnecessary muscles up or down the chain, causing tension elsewhere in the body or the joint itself

Question 10

stability vs mobility

Answer 10

stability is dependent on mobility. Stability comes from a balance between the effort needed to contract some muscles without releasing others. Mobility is the body’s ability in all of its various movements with ease in both connective and muscle tissue. Increasing and maintaining mobility requires hydration, nurturing, care and attention to opening before or simultaneously to strengthening. To achieve either, we must work toward both.

Question 13

inter spinalis

Answer 13

tiny muscles close to the vertebrae

Question 14

inter transversus

Answer 14

tiny muscles next to the transversus
