Applied Anatomy And Physiology - Musculoskeletal System And Analysis Of Movement Flashcards
What is the bone at the top of your skull called.
Cranium
What is the bone in your jaw called
Mandible
Where is the sternum found within the body?
The chest
Where is the scapulas found in the body
In the upper corners of your back
Where is the humerus found
In the upper arm
Where is the ulna found within the body
The lower arm (forearm)
Where is the radius found.
Below the ulna in the lower arm.
What are the 3 bones in your hand.
- Carpals
- Metacarpals
- Phalanges
Where is the pelvis located
In the hip
Where is femur found in the body.
In the upper leg
Where is the patella found
The knee
Where is the tibbia and fibula found in the body?
They are both found in the shin, the tibbia is found above the fibula.
What are the 3 bones in the foot?
- Tarsals
- Metatarsals
- Phalanges
What are the 3 muscles located at the groin called?
- Iliopsoas
- Adductor longus
- Adductor magnus
What is the muscle below the gastrocnemius called.
The soleus
What is an antagonistic pair of muscles.
A pair of muscles which work together to allow a movement to occur. One relaxes while the other contracts.
Describe the antagonistic pair during a bicep curl. (Flexion at elbow)
During flexion at the elbow the bicep will contract and shorten while the tricep relaxes and lengthens to allow the movement to occur.
What is the difference between an isometric and isotonic contraction?
During an isometric contraction the muscle length does not change and there is no movement while during an isotonic contraction the muscle length does change and there is a movement.
What is a concentric contraction?
When a muscle shortens under tension
What is an eccentric contraction.
When a muscle lengthens under tension or performs negative work and acts as a brake.
What is an example of when a muscle is working eccentrically.
During the downward phase of the press up, the triceps lengthen and act as a brake against gravity.
What is an example of when a muscle is working concentrically
During the upward phase of the press up, the triceps shorten under tension and work concentrically.
