Q

Major Regions

A

Head (cephalic), neck (cervical), thorax (thoracic), abdomen, pelvis (pelvic), upper extremity, lower extremity

30
Q

Lymphatic

A

returns fluid to blood, defends against pathogens

31
Q

Respiratory

A

Removes carbon dioxide from the body, delivers oxygen to blood

32
Q

Digestive

A

process food for use by the body, removes wastes from undigested food

33
Q

Urinary

A

controls water balance in the body, removes wastes from blood and excretes them

34
Q

Male Reproductive

A

produces sex hormones and gametes, delivers gametes to female

35
Q

Female Reproductive

A

produces sex hormones and gametes, supports embryo/fetus until birth, produces milk for infant

36
Q

Integumentary

A

Encloses internal body structures, site of many sensory receptors

37
Q

Skeletal

A

supports the body, enables movement (with muscular system)

38
Q

Muscular

A

Enables movement (with skeletal system), helps maintain body temp.

39
Q

Nervous

A

detects and processes sensory info, activates bodily responses

40
Q

Endocrine

A

Secretes hormones, regulates bodily processes

41
Q

Cardiovascular

A

delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, equalizes temp in the body

42
Q

Nervous

A

Made up of neurons and glia (supporting cells of neuron), function of neurons allows for communication to occur

43
Q

Muscle

A

Allow movement, 3 types are cardiac, skeletal, and smooth

44
Q

Epithelial

A

Forms boundaries between enviroments, 4 types (simple squamous- one layer, stratified squamous- many layers, simple cubodial-shaped like cubes, simple columnar- looks like columns) function is protection, secretion, and absorption

45
Q

Connective

A

Supports, protects, and bonds, made up of gels and fibers

46
Q

Important Systems in Biomechanics

A

Muscular and Skeletal

47
Q

Biomechanics

A

the study and application of physics and mechanical laws to movement – joint angles, forces, etc

48
Q

Statistics

A

Bodies, masses and forces @ rest in equilibrium

49
Q

Dynamics

A

Bodies, masses and forces in motion

50
Q

Temporal Analysis

A

Uses time as sole basis for analysis

51
Q

Kinematics

A

changing (without taking into account forces)

52
Q

Kinetics

A

actions of forces in producing or changing the motion of masses

53
Q

Flexion

A

a bending movement that decreases the angle between a segment and its proximal segment

54
Q

Extension

A

opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts

55
Q

Abduction

A

motion away from the midline (move away from your body)

56
Q

Adduction

A

motion towards the center of the body (ADD on to body)

57
Q

Inversion

A

Tilt the sole of the foot toward

58
Q

Eversion

A

Away from midline (outward)

59
Q

Supination

A

rotation of the forearm or foot so that in the standard anatomical position the palm or sole is facing anteriorly

60
Q

Pronation

A

rotation of the forearm or foot so that in the standard anatomical position the palm or sole is facing posteriorly

61
Q

Mass

A

quantity of matter in an object (kg)

62
Q

Force

A

the pushing or pulling action that one object exerts on another; Force (N) = mass x acceleration

63
Q

Impulse

A

when a force is applied to a body, the resulting motion is dependent not only on the magnitude of the force but also the duration; Impulse = Force x time (N x sec)

64
Q

Work

A

the rate at which work is done; work (joules) = force x distance

65
Q

Power

A

the rate at which work is done; Power (w)=work/time

66
Q

Inertia

A

an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force

67
Q

Force

A

the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied

68
Q

Action + Reaction

A

whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first

69
Q

Athletic Trainer

A

Medical professional who care for active populations

70
Q

Purpose of Athletic Training

A

Injury/illness prevention and wellness protection, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergent care, treat and rehabilitation

71
Q

Common Tasks of Athletic Training

A

Prevention taping and bracing, fitting and teaching crutch use, casting
