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

A

Dived into superior and inferior

28
Q

Flexion

A

Movement resulting in decrease of the joint angle.

29

38
Q

Epiphysis

A

Ends of bones covered in cartilage

39
Q

Cartilage

A

Resilient semi rigid form of connective tissue that reduces friction and absorbs shock in synovial joints.

Rolling, spinning, sliding of joint surfaces.

46
Q

Periosteum
