What movement potential and joint actions of the shoulder girdle
Retraction and protraction are movements of the shoulder girdle
What describes the process of diffusion in the lungs
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration
What’s a function of the skeleton
The skeletal structures offer protection to the vital organs

Autonomic system
Describe the basic structure of skeletal muscle
Myosin and actin are the myofilaments with the sarcomere
Describe gaseous exchange
Carbon dioxide moves from the pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli to be expelled
Describe all-or-none law
An action potential will maximally innervate all muscle fibre within a single motor unit
Describe postural deviation hyperkyphosis
An excessive outward curve of the thoracic spine
Describe range of motion available at synovial joint
Flexion and extension are movements available at hinge joints
What’s the aerobic system used for
Sustained activity lasting more than 90s
Describe structure of veins
They have thinner, less muscular walls than arteries
What’s a superficial muscle located on the posterior to the femur
Hamstrings
What deep muscle is located anterior to the spine
