Q

What is the function of the bursa?

A

A small sac containing synovial fluid, located at friction sites between bones and tendons.

32
Q

What is the function of a tendon?

A

Fibrous cords of dense connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.

33
Q

What is the function of a ligament?

A

Dense connective tissue that attaches bone to bone.

34
Q

There are 6 types of synovial joints. What are they?

A

Gliding, hinge, pivot, ellipsoid/condyloid, saddle, ball and socket.

35
Q

Where would you find a gliding joint and what is the movement associated with it?

A

Movement is side to side or back and forth. Eg; carpals and tarsals.

36
Q

Where would you find a hinge joint and what is the movement associated with it?

A

Convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another and movement occurs in one plane. Eg; elbow joint and knee joint.

37
Q

Where would you find a pivot joint and what is the primary movement associated with it?

A

Movement is rotation. Eg; atlas/axis or radius and ulna.

38
Q

Where would you find an ellipsoid/condyloid joint and what is the movement associated with it?

A

Oval shaped condyloid fits into the depression of an ellipsoid. Movement can occur in two planes. Eg; joints between the metacarpals and phalanges.

39
Q

Where would you find a saddle joint and what is the movement associated?

A

Between the carpal and metacarpal of the thumb. Synovial movement.

40
Q

Where would you find a ball and socket joint and what is the movement associated with it?

A

A rounded ball like surface of one bone fits into a cup like depression of another. These are very moveable joints. Eg; shoulder/hip joint.

41
Q

The types of movement that occur in joints depend on the type of joint. What are 4 examples of a joint action?

A

Flexion, extension, abduction & adduction

42
Q

Pronation, supination, hyperabduction, plantar flexion & elevation are all examples of what?

A

Joint actions

43
Q

There are three types of muscle tissue in the body, what are they?

A

Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle & smooth muscle.

44
Q

Voluntary contraction and being attached to bones is a description of which muscle tissue?

A

Skeletal muscle.

45
Q

The muscle of the heart is known as the…

A

Cardiac muscle

46
Q

The muscles located on the walls of our internal structures are called…

A

Smooth muscle.

47
Q

What are the three functions of muscle tissue?

A

Producing movement, provide stabilisation and generating heat.

48
Q

The origin of a tendon is on the most…………. bone.

A

Stationary

49
Q

The insertion of the tendon is on the most…………….. bone.

A

Moveable.

50
Q

Muscles can be classified functionally into three groups. They are..?

A

Agonist, antagonists and stabilisers.

51
Q

The muscle that provides the main force and causes desired movement is called?

A

Agonist.

52
Q

The muscle that opposes or reverses a particular movement is called?

A

Antagonist.

53
Q

The muscle that aids agonists by promoting the same movement or reducing unnecessary movement or undesired action is known as…?

A

The stabiliser

54
Q

There are two main types of contraction. They are known as..?

58
Q

There are 2 types of gaseous exchange. What are they?

A

Internal and external respiration.

59
Q

Where does internal respiration take place?

A

Between the capillaries and the muscle cells.

60
Q

Where does expiration take place?

A

Between the capillaries and the alveoli.

Q

What is the cardiovascular system responsible for?

A

Transporting the materials required by muscles to produce contractions, force and action.

62
Q

What is the function of blood?

A

Transportation of nutrients, O2, CO2, waste products and hormones, creates clotting & protection from disease & acts as a regulator of temperature.

63
Q

What is the structure of the blood?

A

Red blood cells, white blood cells & platelets.

64
Q

What is the responsibility of red blood cells?

A

Transportation of oxygen & nutrients.

65
Q

What is the responsibility of the white blood cells?

A

Combat infection and inflammation.

66
Q

What is the responsibility of platelets?

A

Clotting and repair.

67
Q

Their are 2 chambers of the heart. They are named…

A

Atria and ventricles.

68
Q

Each chamber is separated by valves. What is the responsibility of the valves?

A

To prevent back flow of blood and to keep blood flowing in the correct direction.

69
Q

What are the atria responsible for?

A

Collecting blood that is returning to the heart.

70
Q

What are the ventricles responsible for?

A

Propelling blood from the heart into circulation around the body.

71
Q

Arteries carry blood……

A

away from the heart to tissues.

72
Q

Veins carry blood…..

A

from tissues back to the heart.

73
Q

The arteries become smaller at their ends, further away from the heart. Does the pressure of blood travelling through the arteries increase or decrease as it is passed through small vessels?

A

Decreases.

74
Q

Veins structurally have thinner walls. As the blood travels toward the heart does the pressure increase or decrease?

A

Decrease.

75
Q

There are two types of blood circuits. They are known as…?

A

Pulmonary and systemic.

76
Q

The circuit that pumps blood to the left side of the heart out to all body tissues and back to the right side of the heart is known as?

A

Systemic circulation.

77
Q

The circuit that circulates blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs, then back to the heart is known as?

A

Pulmonary circulation.
