22
Q

Kinesiology is?

A

The study of the mechanics and specifically evaluates muscles, joints,and skeletal structures and their involvement in movement.

23
Q

What is biomechanics.

A

The study of the motion and causes of motion of living things using a branch physics known as mechanics.

24
Kinesiology is based on three fields of science
Biomechanics ,musculoskeletal anatomy and neuromuscular physiology. a
25
Sagittal plane
Divides into right and left sides
26
Frontal plane or coronal
Divides in anterior and posterior sides
27
Transverse or cross sectional,axial, or horizontal
Dived into superior and inferior
28
Flexion
Movement resulting in decrease of the joint angle.
29
Extension
Movement resulting in the increase of joint angle.
30
Internal medial rotation
Rotation in the transverse plane toward the midline
31
External lateral rotation
Rotation in the transverse plane away from the midline
32
Three primary anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system
Bones, joints, muscles.
33
Rom?
Interaction of the bones joints muscles
34
How many bones in The body. How many voluntary?
206. 177.
35
Axial skeletal
Skull ,hyboid(jaw) vetrebL column, sternum, and ribs
36
AppendiculaR
Upper and lower limbs girdles
37
Diaphysis
Shaft or long part of bone
38
Epiphysis
Ends of bones covered in cartilage
39
Cartilage
Resilient semi rigid form of connective tissue that reduces friction and absorbs shock in synovial joints.
40
Metaphysis
Where the bones connect in a mature none
41
Compact bones
Arranged in the osteos contains few spaces.
42
Spongy bone
Trabeculae. Open spaces filled with red bone marrow which produce blood
43
Ligaments
Tough fibrous connective tissues anchoring bone to bone.
44
Joints
Articulation between bones. | Synathrodial, amphiarthrodial, diarthrodial
45
Joint movement is...
Rolling, spinning, sliding of joint surfaces.
46
Periosteum
A membrane covering the surface of the bone. Serves as a point of attachment for ligaments and tendons and critical for bone growth, repair and nutrition.
47
Three types of muscle tissue
Skeletal, cardiac and smooth
48
Agonist
Prime mover of a muscle
49
Antagonist
Muscles that relax to allow movement
50
Synergists
Prevent unwanted muscle movements
