Kinesiology Week 3 (complete) Flashcards
What is force?
an influence that causes an object to undergo a certain change
What is inertia?
an objects resistance to a change in its state of motion or rest
What is mass?
the quantity of matter in an object
The more mass, the _______ resistance to change
a. more
b. less
A. more
What is vector?
a force with direction and magnitude
What is friction?
a force that resists the relative motion of two surfaces
How can friction be applied to OT?
important when trying to simplify or increase the complexity of movement (naked body on wood vs. plastic)
What is velocity?
the rate of change of position (speed plus direction)(50 meters per second)
Momentum is the product of?
a. speed and mass
b. speed and direction
c. mass and velocity
d. velocity and speed
C. mass and velocity
What is gravity?
Force that attracts the body toward the center of the earth
How does gravity relate to OT?
Manuel Muscle Testing!!!! (against gravity, with gravity, gravity eliminated)
What is newtons first law of motion?
law of inertia: an object at rest tends to stay at rest while an object in motion tends to stay in motion
What is newtons second law of motion?
law of acceleration: the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it and is inversely proportional to its mass
What is newtons third law of motion?
law of action reaction: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is the definition of strength?
the force of torque produced by a muscle during maximum voluntary contraction based on the demands placed on the muscle
Strength is directly related to the amount of ____ a muscle can produce
a. force
b. tension
c. both
B. tension
What is functional strength?
the use of the muscles in a smooth, coordinated manner during functional and real-world tasks and activity
What is endurance?
the ability to maintain a force over time or for a set number of contractions/repetitions
What are two factors that influence strength?
age and gender
At what age do individuals hit peak strength?
20-30 years old
True or False: Muscular endurance is maintained less than muscle strength or power
False, muscular endurance is maintained BETTER
What type of motor neurons cause the muscle to contract?
a. alpha
b. beta
A. alpha
What is contractility?
the ability to produce tension between the ends of two bones to produce a pull, as when a muscle contracts
What is muscle irritability?
excitability, the ability of the muscle to respond to stimuli and transmit impulses
What is muscle extensibility?
distensibility, it can be lengthened or stretched by a force outside the muscle (PROM)
What is muscle elasticity?
the ability of a muscle to recoil
What is the name for the band or sheet of connective tissue beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles?
a. fascia
b. epimysium
c. fascicle
d. endomysium
A. Fascia
What is the name for the sheath of fibrous elastic tissue surrounding a muscle?
a. fascia
b. epimysium
c. fascicle
d. endomysium
B. epimysium
What is the name for a bundle of muscle fibers?
a. fascia
b. epimysium
c. fascicle
d. endomysium

What is the name for a wispy layer or connective tissue that ensheaths each individual myocyte?
a. fascia
b. epimysium
c. fascicle
d. endomysium
D. endomysium
What is the name for each individual muscle fiber or muscle cell?
a. fascia
b. epimysium
c. myocyte
d. endomysium
C. myocyte
What is the name for the muscle fibers cell membrane?
a. sarcolemma
b. epimysium
c. myocyte
d. endomysium
A. sarcolemma
What is the name for something that is composed of many fibrils and gives the cell its straited appearance?
