Open vs closed chained movement
Closed-chain exercises involve applying force into an immovable object, such as the floor, wall, or pull-up bar. In other words, the hands or feet are typically fixed and do not move.
Open-chain exercises involve the ability to freely move the limbs, such as the hands and feet.
For example, a pull-up is a closed-chain exercise for the back musculature, whereas the lat pulldown is an open-chain exercise for the same muscle group.
194
Agonists are muscles that act
as the prime movers for a joint motion; in other words, they are the muscles most responsible for generating the primary forces
195
Synergist muscles
create forces to assist prime movers but are not intended as the primary force producer for a given joint motion.
196
antagonist muscles perform
the opposite action of the prime mover. For example, the biceps brachii (an elbow flexor) is an antagonist to the triceps brachii during elbow extension.
197
TRUE OR FALSE? The primary characteristic of closed-chain movements is that the distal segments, such as the person's hands or feet, are not fixed and are able to move freely.
a
True
b
False
False
198
Motor behavior is the HMS response to
internal and external environmental stimuli. The study of motor behavior examines the manner by which the nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems interact to produce skilled movement using sensory information from internal and external environments
199
Motor development is
then defined as the cumulative changes in motor behavior, over time, throughout the life span ..Rolling over for the first time as an infant to performing complex movements for athletic competition as an adult and beyond

201
Muscle synergies
Groups of muscles that are recruited simultaneously by the central nervous system to provide movement.
202
One of the most important concepts in motor control is that muscles are recruited by the nervous system in groups. What are these groups called?
a
Myofibrils
b
Subsystems
c
Muscle synergies
d
Local muscular systems
C
203
What does the term force refer to?
a
The ability to move the body in one direction as fast as possible
b
The ability of the nervous system to produce great strength in the shortest time
c
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome a load
d
The ability of one entity to act on another entity, causing acceleration or deceleration
D
204
Force is defined as
the interaction between two entities or bodies that results in either the acceleration or deceleration of an object
205
Length-tension relationship
The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.
206
Myosin
The thick myofilament that acts along with actin to produce muscular contraction.
207
Stretch-shortening cycle
Loading of a muscle eccentrically to prepare it for a rapid concentric contraction. Like a jump that starts in a squat
208
The global muscular system is
comprised of larger muscles that initiate movements and tend to function across one or more joints
209
The deep longitudinal subsystem (DLS) includes
muscles of the lower leg, hamstrings, and lower back region
210
The posterior oblique subsystem (POS)
is made up of the latissimus dorsi, thoracolumbar fascia (connective tissue of the low-back), and contralateral gluteus maximus
211
The anterior oblique subsystem (AOS) is similar to the POS,
just on the anterior side of the body. The muscles include the obliques, the adductor (inner) thigh muscles, and the hip external rotators.
212
The digestive system may be categorized into three functional regions:
(1) the head and neck, which includes the mouth, (2) the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and (3) the lower GI tract
213
motility,
The actions of the digestive system generally consist of
214
Mastication
The mechanical process whereby the oral muscles break down food.
215
Peristalsis
The muscle action of the gastrointestinal system that pushes food through the body during digestion.
216
Ingestion
The act of taking food, liquid, or other substances into the body in preparation for digestion.
217
Chyme
A semifluid mass of digested food that is passed from the stomach to the small intestine.
218
What term refers to the complex group of anatomical structures that function to break down, process, and absorb the food we eat?
a
The digestive system
b
The endocrine system
c
The integumentary system
d
The anaerobic energy system
a
219
The function of the respiratory system, also known as the pulmonary system, is to
bring oxygen into the lungs from the air as it is breathed in and to expel carbon dioxide from the lungs to the outside environment.
220

What is the primary role of the respiratory system?
a
To regulate heart rate
b

a
Arthritis
b
Decreased vascular tone
c

c
Henry’s law
d
Dalton’s law
