applied anatomy and physiology - bones and muscles Flashcards
bones and muscles
bones at the shoulder
scapula and humerus
bones at the head and neck
cranium and vertebrae
bones at the chest
ribs and sternum
bones at the elbow
humerus radius and ulna
bones at the knee
femur tibia and patella
bones at the ankle
tibia fibula talus
4 types of bones
flat bones short bones long bones irregular bones
functions of the skeleton
support movement protection structure and production of red blood cells and minerals
synovial joints
freely movable joints
hinge joints
allow movement in one plane through flexion and extension
ball and socket joints
allows all types of movememt in almost all directions
synovial membrane
contains and produces synovial fluid
synovial fluid
lubricates a joint to help it run smoothly
joint capsule
encloses and supports the joint to prevent exessive movement
bursae
sacs of fluid which allow bones to glide over them - reducing friction
cartilage
absorbs shock and acts as a buffer reduces friction
ligaments
connect bone to bone - elasticated to absorb shock
tendons
connect muscle to bone
flexion
bending a joint so the angle decreases - bicep curl
extension
bending a joint so the angle increases- backhand shot
plantar flexion
pointing the toes- ballet
dorsi flexion
lifting the toes- long jump
abduction
moving a limb away from the midline of the body- butterfly
adduction
moving a limb towards the midline of the body- rings in gymnastics
rotation
twisting of the bone along its long axis- canoeing
circumduction
circular movement of a limb round a ball and socket joint- pommel horse
agonist
contracts to pull a bone (prime mover)
antagonist
relaxes
muscle pair at the shoulder
latissimus dorsi and deltoid
muscle pair at elbow
biceps and triceps
muscle pair at hip
hip flexors and gluteals
muscle pair at knee
hamstrings and quadriceps
muscle pair at ankle
tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius
isotonic contractions
create movement when a muscle is under load
concentric contraction
shortens the muscle
eccentric contraction
lengthens the muscle
isometric contraction
muscle stays the same length because force is equal to the resistancee
