42
Q

What range does the synovial joint have

45
Q

What are the 3 types of joint

A

Cartilaginous (vertebrae)

Synovial (knee, elbow, shoulder)

46
Q

Define articular (hyaline) cartilage

A

High proportion of collagen

Ossifies in foetus but stays as the articular cartilage in adults.

Perichondrium (fibrous coat of connective tissue) surrounds it.

  • Joining ribs to sternum
  • articular cartilage at ends of bones = ⬇️ friction at joint

Exercise thickens this

47
Q

Define white fibrocartilage

A

Makes intervertebral discs and ligaments

Strongest =
Collagen is organised in dense fibres so has greater tensile strength

Fibres are arranged in the direction of stress.

Can act as a shock absorber
i.e knee meniscus

48
Q

Define yellow elastic cartilage

A

Flexible tissue

Intermediate in strength

Chondrocytes are surrounded by collagen + a network of fibres made of elastin.

Q

List the 5 functions of the skeleton

A

Protection

Support

Movement

Blood production

Mineral storage

62
Q

Define force

A

Changes a body state of motion (N)

63
Q

Define inertia

A

Resistance of a body to a change in state of motion.

64
Q

What happens as soon as an object or body overcomes inertia?

A

It has momentum

65
Q

Define momentum

A

Amount of motion a body possesses.

66
Q

Define Newtons 1st law of Motion

A

Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state until acted upon by an external force.

Known as the law of inertia.

67
Q

Define Newtons 2nd law of motion

A

The acceleration of an object or body of constant mass is directly proportional to the force acting on it.

Known as the law of acceleration

F = m x a

68
Q

Define Newtons 3rd law of motion

A

For every action there’s an equal + opposite reaction

Known as the law of reaction.

Most common application = Person’s body weight (⬇️ force) causes a Ground reaction force (force ⬆️).

69
Q

How do you calculate momentum?

A

Mass x velocity

70
Q

Define impulse

A

Force x time

= Length of time the force is applied and is equal to the change of momentum

71

72
Q

When analysing techniques what areas must you discuss

A

Joint analysis = i.e shoulder joint (ball + socket)
