Question 1

Principle of opposing muscles

Answer 1

Neuromuscular principal that says when a muscle meets a resistance that it can’t overcome, its opposing muscle will relax

The muscle will relax to not add more restitance to the work being done with the opposing muscle.

Question 2

What tow proteins are connective tissue made of

Answer 2

Collagen (Strength)) & Elastin (Elastic)

Question 3

Which two types of connective tissue are equated to steel cable and why

Answer 3

Ligaments and Tendons: because they have more collagen then elastin and fibers are tightly packed

Question 4

How do Ligaments impact movement

Answer 4

allow for and restrict movement in different directions and are situated around the junction between tow bones.

Question 5

What is the function of Tendons

Answer 5

They functions as attachments to bones and are the end of a muscle. They allow the muscle to contract and move the bone at a join.

Question 6

What are the types of fascia

Answer 6

Superficial Fascia = just under the skin and helps maintain body temp.
Visceral Fascia = surrounds and suspends the organs
Deep Fascia = Surrounds all of the muscles

Question 7

what type of Fascia are muscles

Answer 7

First they are Deep Fascia

1. Technical term is MyoFascia (mho = muscle)

Question 8

what causes a muscle contraction

Answer 8

the release of calcium cause the proteins Actin an Myosin to become attracted to each other and the muscle contracts.

one of the two ends will move toward the other (the less stable does the moving)

Question 9

what are the four basic function of muscles

Answer 9

1. Movement
2. Guarding entrances to the body
3. Posture
4. production of heat

Question 10

Adduction

Answer 10

Pulls body part toward center of the body

Question 11

Supination

Answer 11

outward rotation

Question 12

pronation

Answer 12

inward rotation

Question 13

flexion

Answer 13

the action of bending or the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint.

Question 14

abduction

Answer 14

the movement of a limb or other part away from the midline of the body, or from another part.

Question 15

Tonic Contraction

Answer 15

Continual low level contraction which maintains our awake but resting posture

Question 16

Isometric

Answer 16

Same length = tone changes but not length. example holding high plank. The length does not change but the tone does

Question 17

isotonic concentric

Answer 17

1. ends of muscles come closer together. bicep curl

Question 18

isotonic eccentric

Answer 18

length of muscle increases with contraction = releasing a bicep curl with weight

Question 19

what are the five functions of the skeleton system

Answer 19

Provides structure, produces red blood cells, stores minerals, offers protection and enables movement

Question 20

what are the three types of bone cells and their function

Answer 20

1. osteoblasts= bone building cells
2. osteocytes = mature bone cells
3. osteoclasts = break down bones

Question 21

who developed the principle of tensegrity? who popularized it and what is the definition?

Answer 21

1. Developed = Kenneth Snelson
2. Popularized = Buckminster Fuller
3. Definition = tension in a structure and maintain the integrity of the structure.

Question 22

Proprieptive Neuromuscle Facilitation (PNF)

Answer 22

Application of neuromuscular principles.

1. Principle of opposing muscles
2. after muscle contracts it goes into a phase of relaxation

Question 23

Function of the endoderm

Answer 23

The function of the embryonic endoderm is to construct the linings of two tubes within the body. The first tube, extending throughout the length of the body, is the digestive tube. Buds from this tube form the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Question 24

Function of the ectoderm

Answer 24

create the outermost layers of the body, the skin, and the nervous system

Question 25

Connective tissue of the bones and placement

Answer 25

1. Periosteum= surronds outer layer of bone
2. Medullary Cavity = Inside is bone marrow
3. endosteum = inside cavity of the the medullary
   sandwiched between layers is the mineral that make our bones hard

Question 26

What minerals make our bones hard

Answer 26

Calcium and phosphorus
