Exam 2 (ch 7,8) Flashcards
the purpose is to either change direction of a force or to increase or decrease its magnitude
pulleys
cervical, axillary, and inguinal
concentrated areas of lymph nodes
one end of rope attached to a beam; rope runs through pulley to other end where force is applied; increase the mechanical advantage of force; load (resistance) is suspended
movable pulley
deals with factors associated with nonmoving or nearly nonmoving systems
static
effort; causes the lever to move and usually muscular
force (f)
two transport systems of the circulatory systems
cardiovascular and lymphatic system
occurs when the heart valves close; lub dub
heart sounds
two bottom chambers of heart; thicker muscular walls to provide greater pumping force; left is 3x bigger than right
ventricles
joined at base of brain by anterior and posterior cerebral artery
posterior communicating artery
a type of arteriosclerosis; when fatty deposits in the artery wall cause narrowing or blockage of the vessel
artherosclerosis
jugular, subclavian, and lumbar; where regional nodes drain
lymphatic trunks
part of a body that is in contact with the supporting surface
base of support (BOS)
When the joint angle is near 0 (almost straight), the moment arm is small and what force is occurring that moves the two bones of the joint together?
stabilizing force
Av valve between left atrium and ventricle; 2 flaps
Bicuspid (mitral) valve
the purpose is to push blood through the arteries and veins
heart
middle portion of thoracic cavity; where heart and all chest organ is located
mediastinum
application of mechanics to the anatomy and physiology of body
biomechanics
smaller duct; 1-2” long and located at base of neck on right side; right head, neck, upper extremity, upper trunk empty here; empties into right subclavian vein
right lymphatic duct
more common in lower extremities than upper extremities; deeper veins rather than superficial veins
valves in veins
serves as staging areas for defense against infection from microbes and other foreign particles
lymphatic organs
force is in the middle with the resistance and axis at opposite ends; AFR; advantages include speed and distance; most common lever in the body
third class lever
condition in which the heart can’t pump strongly enough to push an adequate supply of blood out of various parts of body; results in edema esp in feet, ankles, and lungs
congestive heart failure
What do magnitude and moment arm determine?
how much torque is produced
results when two or more forces are acting along the same line
linear force
