Final KPER1500 Flashcards
what is the study of anatomy?
the study of the structures that make up the human body and how those structures relate to each other.
what does the anatomical position provide us?
provides consistant terminoligy giving us a starting point.
describe the anatomical position.
thumbs outward, palms forwars, standing straight up.
describe lateral and medial.
Lateral: away from the midline of the body.
Medial: towards the midline
describe distal and proximal.
Distal: Further from some specified region
Proximal: closer to some specific region.
Anterior
in front of or front of your body
posterior.
behind or back or your body
superior
Inferior
Superior: above
Inferior: Below
Prone
Supine
Prone: laying face down
Supine: Laying on back
what are body planes
imaginary flat surfaces that devide the body
Midsagital/ Median Plane:
Divides the body into right and left halves
Frontal Coronal Plane:
divides the body into anterior and posterior
Transverse Plane:
divides body into superior and inferior
what is center of gravity?
where median, frontal, and transverse planes intersect also called center of mass
differences between flexion and extension
Flexion reduces angle, Extension increases angle
Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion:
dorsiflexion: bringing the top of the foot toward the lower leg or shin
Plantar flexion: motion involved in calf raises
adduction:
abduction:
Adduction: moving a segment of the body towards the midline
Abduction: moving a segement away from the body
Medial Rotation:
rotation toward the midline
lateral rotation:
rotation away from the midline
Pronation :
Palms down
Supination
Palms up
inversion:
movement for when you twist an ankle
eversion
movement in twisting an ankle in the oposite direction (outward)
Circumduction.
making imaginary circles in the air with arms or legs.
two different divisions in the human skeleton:
axial and appendicular
Approximately how many bones in the human skeleton?
approx 206
Axial Skeleton consists of:
skull, sternum, ribs, vertibral culumn
how many bones in the axial skeleton?
80
Appendicular skeleton cosnsists of:
pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, lower
limbs.
how many bones in appendicular skeleton?
126
what are short bones and whats the point of having them?
shock absorbers… including the tarsals and carpals
what are long bones?
any bone whose length greatly surpasses the diameter
What are flat bones?
bones like the skull, ribs, scapula…. protect underlaying organs
what are irregular bones?
weird bones that dont have a place in scociety….
what is a sesamoid bone?
bones like the patella, oval shape… found in tendons
compact bone is also _____ bone
Cortical
Spongy bone is also _____ bone
cancellous
Bone Composisiton:
Calcium carbonate and clacium (60-70 percent)
Collagen protein
Water (20% vs 60% in body)
how many bones are babies born with?
300 bones
whats a greenstick fracture?
like a wet tree, bone is wet and doesnt break clean
what an osteoporotic fracture?
more of a dry break,
what is Wolff’s law?
bone adapts to applied loads,
skeletal muscle small description:
attached to bones, allows body movement with voluntary control over the muscle.
Cardiac muscle small description:
heart contraction, vewry fatigue resistant, autonomic nerve control
Origin:
Proximal Attachement (attached to more stationary parts)
Insertion :
distal attachement (more mobile structures)
what is a joint?
connction between two or more bones.
Strands of connective tissue ensure stability and hold joint together
Fibrous Joint:
No movement
Absorb shock
(skull)
Cartilaginous joints
Limited movement
absorbs shock
(intervertebral discs)
Synovial Joints
greatest degree of movement
allow movement, most common joint
(hip joint)
describe the compartments of a synovial joint:
Joint capsule
Joint cavity
Hyaline cartilage
Ligaments, extrinsic and intrinsic
what is a joint capsule?q
surrounds the joint and provides support
what is the joint cavity?
inside the joint, filled with synovial fluid.
where do you find hyaline cartilage inside the joint?
covers the articulating bones for lubercation
what do ligaments do for the joint>
the support the joint
Uniaxial, Biaxial, Multiaxial joints description?
on, two or multiple axes
types of synovial joints:
hinge piviot condyloid saddle-shaped ball and socket plane
hinge joint:
has one articulating surface that is conves and another that is concave
pivot joint:
one bone rotates arround one axis
condyloid joint:
knuckle joint
Axis=
C2
Atlas =
C1
whats the thenar and hypothenar group of muscles?
palm
describe the os coxae (paired hip bones)
Ilium, pubis, ischium… with acetabulum (where the femur connects)
what is a concentric action?
muscle overcomes a load and shortens
What is eccentric Action?
muscle being overcome by a load… muscle lengthens
Isokinetic action:
“same “ “Motion”
Plyometric action
a rapid eccentric loading and muscle stretching followed by a strong concentric contraction
what can the plyometric action do for an athletes jumping?
can increase jumping height
what is maximal absolute strength ?
the maximum amount of force one can generate in a single effort
what is relative strength?
proportion of maximal strength relitive to body mass
what is power?
ability to overcome external resistance by developing a high rate of muscular contraction
what is muscuar endurance?
ability to resist fatigue in strength performance of longer duration
important when demands are placed on strength and endurance
how do women compare to mens strength
with the same lean body body mass, women will be as strong as men, its just harder to put on muscle
what two things dpes the ability to move require?
correct muscle activation patterns and the availibility of energy for muscle contraction
all energy in the human body is derived from 3 nutrients:
carbohydrates
Proteins
Fats
what process turns ATP into ADP?
hydrolysis
breifly describe Anarobic Alactic system
uses Creatine Phosphate… since their are small amounts of muscle CP and ATP stored it has a very short duration… used for explosive high intensity activities. Large amount of energy produced in short amount of time. Recovery time is quick
explain glycolysis breifly:
Glycogen (muslce) or glucose (blood) breakdown to eventually yield 2 ATPs
glycolysis is a stepwise enzymatic process and it uses no oxygen
in glycolysis a low rate of pyruvic acid turns into what and where does it go?
pyruvate… and its shuttled to mitochondria for aerobic metabolism.
in glycolysis a high rate of pyruvic acid turns into what? and where is it stored?
Turns into lactic acid, and stored in muscle until rest or enters Cori cycle in the liver
where are carbohydrates from?
From starches or sugars in diet.
