Q

what is the skeletal system

A

it’s made up of 206 bones which are all joined together by ligaments providing a framework of support. it ensures the body can stand erect and maintain its posture as well as providing protection for vital organs.

Q

what 2 sections can the skeleton system be divided into

A

the axial and appendicular skeletons. the axial consists of the bones that form the head, neck, trunk and houses the vertebral column rib cage and sternum and the appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder girdle with the bones of the arms and the hands as well as the hip girdle with the bones of the leg and feet.

Q

what features are in synovial joints

A

joint capsule- a tough connective tissue surrounding and encasing bones of the joint
joint cavity- filled with synovial fluid helping to lubricate the joint
synovial membrane- what lines the inside of the joint capsule and secretes the synovial fluid
articular cartilage- a smooth slippery cartilage covering the ends of the articulating bones preventing friction and wear and tear.

Q

what are types of synovial joints ?

A

ball and socket joint- these offer the widest range of movement, head of the bone fits in the cup shaped cavity of another, movement occurs in all 3 planes e.g shoulder and hip joints.

hinge joint- these offer back and forth movement in 1 plane, e.g knee and elbow joint

pivot joint- allow rotational movement in 1 plane, the structure involve the head of the bone articulating in a deep depression of a second bone, e.g radio ulnar joint and between the atlas and axis vertebrae.

gliding joint- these offer movement in 2 planes back and forth and side to side movement, occur where articulating bones have flat surfaces that can slide past eachother. e.g. between carpal bones of the wrist.

saddle joint- permits side to side and back and forth. 2 saddle shaped articulating surfaces of adjacent bones fit together at right angles allowing movement in 2 planes e.g. thumb

condyloid joint- similar to hinge joint but also have side to side movement. bony projections of 1 bone articulate with hollow depressions of another e.g. radio carpal joint.

Q

what are the planes of the body

A

sagittal= divides the body vertically into the left and right sides
frontal= divides the body vertically into front and back sections.
transverse- plande divides body into top and bottom halves and run horizontally parallel to the ground.

Q

what is inversion

A

adduction of the foot

19
Q

what is eversion

A

abduction of the foot

20
Q

what is elevation

A

movement of the scapula upwards

21
Q

what is depression

A

movement of the scapula downwards

22
Q

movement in the transverse plane

A

rotation
pronation
horizontal abduction
horizontal adduction
circumduction

23
Q

what is rotation

A

when a bone moves about it’s longitudinal axis medial and lateral

24
Q

what is pronation

A

medial rotation at the radio ulnar joint

25
Q

what is supination

A

lateral rotation at radio ulna joint

26
Q

what is horizontal abduction

A

shoulder flexion moved away from the midline

27
Q

what is horizontal adduction

A

shoulder flexion moved towards the midline

28
Q

what is circumduction

A

when the distal end of a body part can describe a circle

29
Q

what are the 3 muscle types

A

-cardiac (involuntary) e.g. heart
-smooth(involuntary) e.g. vessels, bladder and intestines
-skeletal (voluntary)
all muscles are involved with movement

30
Q

main ideas of the skeltal muscle

A

they attach to bones via the tendon
top bit of the tendon is called the origin and it doesn’t move and the bottom bit of the tendon is the insertion which does move.

31
Q

what is agonist and antagonist muscles

A

as muscles work in pairs movement is committed and the pair that’s contracting is the prime mover which is the agonist while the relaxer is the antagonist.

32
Q

what are the 3 types of muscle contraction

A

concentric- the muscles contracts and shorten (dumbbell arm curl)
eccentric- the muscle contracts and lengthens (bicep curl)
isometric- the muscle contracts and the length remains the same (holding a bar bell at arms length)

33
Q

what are the 3 components of the lever system

A

the effort- in the body this will be the contracting muscle
the fulcrum- in the body this will be the joint
the load- this will either be the weight of the lever system or the object trying to move it.

34
Q

how to work out the effort arm and the load arm

A

effort arm is the difference between the effort and the fulcrum, load arm is the difference between the fulcrum and the load

35
Q

what’s a rule on the lever sytem

A

if the effort arm is longer than the load arm there’s an amplification of force but if the load arm is longer than the effort arm there’s an amplification of movement/speed.

this therefore means the 3rd class can’t amplify force and the 2nd class can’t amplify movement

123- FLE what is in middle

first class- fulcrum in middle
2nd class- load in middle
3rd class- effort arm in middle

36
Q

what is biomechanics

A

the study of how the body moves how it applies force to itself and other objects it comes in contact with.

37
Q

in sport when is force generated

A
  • by friction
  • gravity
  • air resistance
  • other objects
38
Q

what is newtons 1st law

A

law of motion.
involves the idea of inertia which is an objects reluctance to change motion.
a high mass mean high inertia.
it states everybody at rest or moving at constant velocity in a straight line will continue in state unless is compelled o change by an external force exerted upon it.

e.g. if a football is kicked it will travel in a straight line at the same velocity unless a force is applied

39
Q

newtons second law

A

this is the law of acceleration.
it says that the acceleration of a body is proportional to a force causing it and the acceleration takes place in the direction the force acts.
for example if you punch hard it hurts if you punch less it doesn’t hurt as much.

F=MA

40
Q

newtons third law

A

this is known as the law of action and reaction.

when a object exerts a force on another object there’s a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction exerted by the second object on the 1st.

e.g. when you push open a door it exerts the same force on each side.

41
Q

what is the centre of gravity

A

the centre of mass and the point which gravity acts

42
Q

what is stability

A

an object will be in stable equilibrium when it returns to it’s original position after given a small displacement.

it occurs when the centre of gravity stays within the base of support

43
Q

when does an object become unstable

A

when it’s centre of gravity falls outside of the objects base.
