Anatomy Flashcards
exercise physiology
provides an understanding of how the body responds to the acute and chronic demands placed on it by the increased energy demands of exercise
physical activity
any bodily movement that comes about from the contraction of skeletal muscle and that increases energy expenditure
exercise
a more structured form of physical activity that has a specific purpose in mind
4 Major components of physical fitness + 1
Muscular fitness, cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory endurance(aerobic fitness), Flexibility, Body composition—- Mind/body vitality
cardiorespiratory endurance
the capacity of the heart and lungs to deliver blood and oxygen to the working muscles during exercise
carbohydrates and fatty acids are converted into what for muscular contraction
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
3 basic processes that must interact to provide adequate blood and nutrients to the tissues-
1- get oxygen to blood through a function of pulmonary ventilation
2- delivering oxygen to the active tissues, a function of cardiac output
3- extracting oxygen from the blood to complete the metabolic production of ATP
oxygen-carrying capacity of blood is determined primarily by 2 variables- : the ability to adequately ventilate the ___ in the lungs and the ____ concentration of the blood
alveoli and hemoglobin(hb)
emphysema
degradation of the alveoli
Anterior(Ventral)
towards the front
poster(dorsal)
towards the back
superior
towards the head
inferior
away from the head
Medial
towards the midline of the body
Lateral
away from the midline of the body
proximal
toward the attached end of the limb, origin of the structure, or midline of the body
distal
away from the attached end of the limb, origin of the structure, or midline of the body
superfical
external: located close to or on the body surface
deep
internal; located further beneath the body surface than superficial structures
cervical
regional term referring to the neck
thoracic
regional term referring to the portion of the body between the neck and abdomen, also known as the chest(thorax)
lumbar
regional term referring to the portion of the back between then abdomen and the pelvis
plantar
the sole of bottom of the feet
dorsal
the top surface of the feet and hands
palmar
the anterior or ventral surface of the hands
sagittal plane
the longitudinal line that divides the body into left and right sections
frontal plane
a longitudinal section that divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
transverse plane
also known as the horizontal plane, divides the body into superior and Inferior sections
artho
joint
ilium
the wide upper part of the pelvic bone
myositis
inflammation of a muscle
os, osteo
bone
pulmonary artery
vessel that brings blood to the lungs
thorax
chest
