Chapter 2: Basic and Exercise Science Flashcards
The combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems.
The human movement system
A conglomeration of billions of cells specifically designed to provide a communication network with in the human body.
The nervous system (NS)
The ability of the nervous system sends changes in either the internal or external environment
Sensory function-(NS)
The ability of the nervous system to analyze and interpret sensory information that allow for proper decision-making, which produces the appropriate response.
Integrative function-(NS)
The neuromuscular response to the sensory information
Motor function-(NS)
The cumulative Sensory input to the central nervous system from all Mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement
Proprioception-(NS)
The functional unit of the nervous system
Neuron-(NS)
Transmit nerve impulses from effector sites (such as muscles and organs) via receptors to the brain and spinal cord
Sensory (afferent) neurons-(NS)
Transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another
Interneurons-(NS)
Transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effector sites
Motor (efferent) neurons-(NS)
The portion of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord
Central nervous system-(NS)
Cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body
Peripheral nervous system-(NS)
Sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion in body tissues
Mechanoreceptors-(NS)
Receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rates of that change
Muscle spindles-(NS)
Receptors sensitive to change intention of the muscle at the rate of that change
Golgi tendon organs-(NS)
Receptors surrounding a joint that respond to pressure, Acceleration, and deceleration of the joint
Joint receptors-(NS)
The body’s framework, composed of bones and joints.
The skeletal system-(SS)
Provide a resting ground for muscles and protection of vital organs
Bones-(SS)
Junctions of bones, muscles, and connective tissue at which movement occurs. Also known as an articulation.
Joints-(SS)
Portion of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column.
Axial skeleton-(SS)
Portion of the skeletal system that includes the upper and lower extremities.
appedicular skeleton-(SS)
The process of resorption and formation of bone.
Remodeling-(SS)
The type of phone itself that’s removes bone tissue
Osteoclasts-(SS)
