Chapter 5 (82-94) Flashcards
HMS-human movement system definition
Main function of the human body:
Nervous system(central and peripheral)
Skeletal(articular)
Muscular system
HMS relies on collaborative effort from all to form functional kinetic chain, allowing efficient transfer of energy and power through the body
What are anatomic locations
Specific locations or landmarks on the body including:
Superior, Inferior, Proximal, Distal, Anterior, Posterior, Medial, Lateral, Contralateral, Ipsilateral
The 3 main Muscle actions
Isotonic(eccentric and concentric)
Isometric(constant muscle length)
Isokinetic(constant velocity of motion)
ISO=same or equal
Tonic=tension
Metric=length
Kinetic=motion
Muscular force definition
Force is an influence applied by one object to another, which results in an acceleration or deceleration of the second object
Length tension relationship
Resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length
