Anatomy Flashcards
Tendon
Attaches muscle to bone
Easier to injure but faster to heal
Ligament
Attaches bone to bone
Longer to heal
Gto
Golgi tendon organ
Senses force in muscle and causes contraction to slow down the stretch
Muscle spindle
Senses length and the speed of stretch causes contraction and slows down the stretch
Sagittal
Front and back
Coronal
Side to side
Transverse
Twists
Adduction
Coming back to center
Abduction
Going away from center
Isometric muscle contraction
Squeezing muscle to bone
No movement
Isotonic muscle contraction
Movement in the joints
Concentric joint movement
Squeezing shortening strengthening
Eccentric joint movement
Opening stretching lengthening
Red muscle fiber
Slow twitch
Oxygen rich
Good for aerobic exercise

Fast twitch
Atp rich
Good for explosive exercises
Atp
Energy molecule found in muscle
3 energy systems of exercise
Atp
Glucose/carbohydrates
