Answer 10

back/ behind

Question 11

Inferior

Answer 11

below

Question 12

superior

Answer 12

above

Question 13

proximal

Answer 13

nearest trunk

Question 14

distal

Answer 14

away from trunk

Question 15

lateral

Answer 15

further from midline

Question 16

medial

Answer 16

closer to midline

Question 17

flexion

Answer 17

bending movement that results in a downward angle of joint movement

Question 18

circumduction

Answer 18

Circular movement of a limb (not a fundamental movement)

Question 19

Action

Answer 19

specific movement of a joint resulting from a concentric contraction of a muscle which crosses joint
ex: flex elbow, supinate forearm

Question 20

orgin

Answer 20

closest to midline

Question 21

insertion

Answer 21

further from midline

Question 22

3 roles of muscles

Answer 22

cause, control, prevent movement

Question 23

isometric contraction

Answer 23

tension is developed within muscle but joint angles remain constant
static contractions

Question 24

isotonic contraction

Answer 24

involve muscle developing tension to either cause or control joint movement
dynamic contractions
the varying degrees of tension in muscles result in joint angles changing
Isotonic contractions are either concentric or eccentric

Question 25

Concentric contraction

Answer 25

causing movements involve muscle developing tension as it shortens

Question 26

Ecentric

Answer 26

controls movement Eccentric contractions involve the muscle lengthening under tension

Question 27

Agonist muscles

Answer 27

cause joint motion through a plane when contracting concentrically

Question 28

atagonist

Answer 28

on opposite side of joint from agonist have the opposite concentric action from agonists work with agonist muscles by relaxing & allowing movement

Question 29

Stabilizers

Answer 29

contract to stabilize the area to enable another limb or body segment to exert force & move

Question 30

Synergist

Answer 30

assist in action of agonists not necessarily prime movers for the action known as guiding muscles

Question 31

how many muscles do we have

Answer 31

six. 4 i one plane 2 in the transverse plane

Question 32

shoulder girdle movements

Answer 32

elevation, depression, protract, retract, upward rotation, downward rotation

Question 33

types of contraction

Answer 33

isotonic, isometric

Question 34

protracters and retractors what plane?

Answer 34

transverse plane

Question 35

upward and downward rotation what plane?

Answer 35

frontal plane

Question 36

Two primary roles of SG Joints?

Answer 36

Contract to maintain scapula in a relatively static position (stabilize base) during shoulder joint actions Contract to move SG & when shoulder joint goes through extreme ranges of motion
