Applied Anatomy And Physiology Flashcards
Functions of the skeleton
Support, protection, movement, shape, mineral storage, blood cell production
What bone is located at the head/neck
Cranium and vertebrate
What bones are located at the shoulder
Scapula and humerus
Bones located at chest
Ribs and sternum
What bones are located at the elbow
Humerus radius and ulna
What bones are located at the hip
Pelvis, femur
What bones are located at the knee
Femur tibia patella
What bones are located at the ankle
Tibia fibula and talus
What movements occurs at a ball and socket joint
Abduction and adduction
What movements occur at a hinge joint
Flexion and extension
What is eccentric contraction
Lengthening of the muscle
What is concentric contraction
Shortening of the muscle
What is an Agonist
Muscle or group of muscles responsible for movement
What are antagonist muscles
Muscles that act to produce the opposite movement to the agonist. They work in antagonistic pairs
What is a tendon
Very strong cords that join the muscle to the bone
Ligaments
Bands of fibres that are attached to the bones and link joints together
What are the jobs of the bicep and tricep
Any arm movement such as throwing
What are the jobs if hamstrings and quadriceps
Moments of the legs such as running and kicking
What’s the job of a deltoid
Allow shoulder movement used a lot in swimming
What is the job of the trapezius
Helps keep the shoulder in position used in a football throw-in also rotator cuffs
What is the job if the latissimus dorsi
Allows Shoulder movement backwards, forwards, up and down
What is the job of the pectoral muscle
At the front of the upper chest often used in throwing actions such as the javelin
What’s the role of the abdominals
Used to allow bending and turning of the trunk section very important Stabilising muscles relating to core strength
What is the bursae
Sacks of fluid which reduce friction
What does cartilage do
Tough but flexible smooth elastic tissue which prevents friction and stops bones from rubbing together
What is a joint capsule’s job
Encloses/supports
What does a synovial fluid do
Lubricates the joint
What is a synovial joint
An area of the body where two or more bones meet to allow a range of movements
What is synovial membrane
Secretes synovial fluid
during inspiration what does the diaphragm do
the diaphragm contracts
during expiration what does the diaphragm do
the diaphragm relaxes
