Q

Outline the difference between Origin & Insertion?

A

Origin is the attachment onto the bone that does not move when the muscle contracts. Insertion is
attached to the bone which moves more when the muscle contracts

Study These Flashcards
A

Fibula or Tibia, Tarsal

24
Q

What is the Origin & Insertion of the Gluteus Maximus?

Study These Flashcards
A

Pelvis, Femur

25
What is the Origin & Insertion of the Quadriceps?
Femur or Pelvis, Tibia
26
What is the Origin & Insertion of the Biceps?
Scapula, Ulna or Radius
27
Explain the role of the Circulatory system?
Consists of several structures that work together to transport oxygen and nutrients around the body
28
List all functions of the Circulatory System?
- Circulate blood to body - Transport O2, water and nutrients to cells in the blood - Transport CO2 and wastes away from the cells - Maintain body temperature - White blood cells fight infection
29
What are the structures of the heart?
- Heart - Blood - Blood vessels
30
Describe the heart & what it does?
Muscular pump which contracts continuously to drive blood around the body through the blood vessels
31
Explain the circulation of blood in the heart.
- The Right Atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body (via the Vena Cava) and pumps it to the lungs via the Right Ventricle (through the Pulmonary Artery) where it offloads the carbon dioxide and takes in oxygen. - This oxygenated blood then returns to the Left Atrium (via the Pulmonary Vein) and is pumped to the rest of the body by the Left Ventricle (via the Aorta)
32
Explain the difference between the Systemic Circulation & the Pulmonary Circulation?
The Pulmonary Circulation Carries blood from the heart to the lungs and back again & the Systemic Circulation Carries blood from the heart to all parts of the body (except lungs) and back again
33
What do arteries do?
Carry blood away from the heart
34
What do capillaries do?
Tiny blood vessel which reach every cell of the body
35
What do veins do?
Carry blood towards the heart
36
What is the blood's function & how much do we have?
1. Transport of nutrients and waste products 2. Regulation of body’s temperature 3. Protection of the body (5-7L)
37
How much plasma is in blood?
55%
38
How much Red Blood Cell is in blood?
45%
39
How much White Blood Cell is in blood?
<1%
40
How much platelets is in blood?
Very small amount
41
List all the functions on the Respiratory System?
1. Deliver oxygen from the atmosphere to the lungs 2. Provide method of gaseous exchange within the lungs ⎯Oxygen enters the blood, carbon dioxide exits 3. Create speech as air passes over the vocal cords 4. Facilitate sense of smell 5. Expel heat and water vapor in the air breathed out
42
The Respiratory System consists of 3 main sections what are they?
1. Air passages 2. Lungs 3. Diaphragm
43
Rearrange this air passage to fit in order. Bronchioles, Larynx, Nasal cavity & mouth, Trachea, Bronchi, Alveoli, Pharynx.
Nasal cavity & mouth, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli
44
What do lungs do?
Allow Gas exchange to occur at the site of the alveoli
45
The diaphragm moves up and down, the size of the chest cavity changes, causing breathing is it striated or non striated, is it voluntary or involuntary?
Smooth, involuntary
46
Inspiration is?
Breathing in, Volume of lungs increases, External intercostal muscles contract & internal intercostal muscles relax to lift rib cage up and the diaphragm contracts to become flatter
47
Expiration is?
Breathing in, Volume of lungs decreases, External intercostal muscles relax and internal intercostal muscles contract to lower rib cage and diaphragm relaxes to become dome shaped
48
endomorphic body type at least 3 characteristics
-soft body -underdeveloped muscles -round shaped -over-developed digestive system
49
endomorphic body type at least 3 traits
-love of food -tolerant -evenness of emotions -love of comfort -sociable -good humoured -relaxed - need for affection

-adventurous -desire for power and dominance -courageous -indifference to what others think or want -assertive, bold -zest for physical activity -competitive -love of risk and chance
52
ectormorph body type at least 3 characteristics
-thin -flat chest -delicate build -young appearance -tall  -lightly muscled -stoop-shouldered -large brain
53
ectomorph body type at least 3 traits
-self-conscious -preference for privacy -introverted -inhibited -socially anxious -artistic -mentally intense -emotionally restrained
54

-Support -Protect -Red blood cell production -Nutrients storage -Frame for movement
55
list all Functions of muscular system
- Produce movement -Maintain essential bodily functions -Maintain posture -Stabilise joints -Generate heat
