Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus
The hierarchy structure of the body are
Chemicals
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Systems
Organisms
Mitochondria
Known as the powerhouse cell responsible for energy production
Homeostasis
The body’s automatic tendency to maintain constant internal body environment through various processes
Kinesiology
Study of physical movements and the active and passive structures involved
Axial skeletal system
80 bones including skull , spine and ribs
Appendicular system
All other extensions of the axial skeletal system (126 bones)
60 upper extremities
60 lower extremities
2 in pelvic girdle
4 in shoulder girdle
Muscular system
Muscle tissue that connects to bones for movement to occur
Nervous system
Responsible for voluntary movements
Specifically the somatic system
Cardio respiratory system
Consist of the circulatory system and respiratory system
Circulatory system
Consist of the heart , arteries and veins which act as a transport system
Respiratory system
Consist of the lungs and air passage ways
Supply oxygen to the body
Remove carbon dioxide
Digestive system
Responsible for breaking down food and eliminating waste
Endocrine system
Releases hormones
Responsible for metabolic activities such as growth hormone
Growth hormone
Produced by the pituitary gland
Skeletal system
Made up of bones and joints
Five main category of bones
Flat bones Short bones Long bones Sesamoid bones Irregular bones
Ligaments
Connective tissue that connect bone to bone to form joints
Joints
The points where two bones connect
Synovial joints
Allow movement
Most important to fitness trainers
Synovial joints
Broken down into six categories
6 categories of the synovial joints
Gliding Condyloidal Ball and socket Hinge Saddle Pívot
Example of gliding joint
Tarsals of the foot
Example of Condyloidal joint
Wrist between the radius and the carpal bones
Example of the ball and socket joint
Shoulder and hip
Example of hinge joint
Elbow , ankle , and knee
Example of saddle joint
Thumb
Example of pívot joint
Pivotal radius at the radioulnar joint
3 types Muscular system
Cardiac muscle
Smooth muscle
Skeletal muscle
Cardiac muscle
Striated and involuntary
Makes up the wall of the heart
Smooth muscle
Smooth and involuntary
Found in other organs like those in the digestive system
Skeletal muscle
Striated , voluntary and fatigue easily
Attaches to bone
Responsible for all movement
Muscles
Made up of sacromeres
Sacromere
Structural unit of myofibril ( muscle fiber)
