  • Found in heart and blood vessels.
68
Q

Smooth muscle

A
  • Involuntary
  • Found in vessels, bladder, intestines
69
Q

Skeletal muscle

A
  • Voluntary
  • All muscles involved in the movement of the body.
70
Q

Skeletal muscle information

A
  • Skeletal muscle is attached to bones via tendons.
    (transmitting the muscular ‘pull’ to the bones, causing them to move.
  • A muscle may attach to a bone via more than 1 tendon.
71
Q

Muscle origin

A

Muscle attachment at the end of bone nearest the midline of the body is known as the muscle origin.
- Flat, relatively stable bone.

72
Q

Muscle insertion

A

Muscle attatchment at the distal end of the bone furthest away from the midline of the body is known as the muscle insertion.
- The Insertion is typically attached to the bone that will move when the muscle contracts.

73
Q

Agonist

A

The muscle that is responsible for the desired movement will contract and shorten.

74
Q

Antagonist

A

The other muscle of the pair will lengthen and is usually relaxing.

75
Q

Why do all muscles work in pairs?

A

So that all movements can always be reversed.

76
Q

Types of muscle contraction

A
  • Concentric
  • Eccentric
  • Isometric
77
Q

Concentric

A

The muscle contracts and shortens
e.g. upwards phase of a push up (triceps brachi)

78
Q

Eccentric

A

The muscle contracts and lengthens
e.g. downwards phase of a push up (triceps brachi)

79
Q

Isometric

A

The muscle contracts and the length remains the same
e.g. holding down phase of a push up (triceps brachi)

80
Q

Fixator

A

Muscle which acts as a stabiliser and helps the agonist work effectively

81
Q

Synergist

A

Assists the agonist muscle.

82
Q

What are the 3 components of the lever system?

A
  • The effort
  • The fulcrum
  • The load
83
Q

The effort

A

In the body this will always be the contracting muscle i.e. the insertion of the muscle

84
Q

The fulcrum

A

In the body this will be the joint

85
Q

The load

A

This will either be the weight off the lever system itself or an object that we are trying to move.

86
Q

Effort arm

A

Distance from fulcrum to effort

87
Q

Load arm

A

Distance from fulcrum to load

88
Q

Amplication of force

A

When the effort arm is longer than the load arm

89
Q

Amplication of movement/ speed

A

When the load arm is longer than the effort arm.

90
Q

What are the 3 lever systems

A

F 1
L 2
E 3

91
Q

What can the 3rd class lever system not amplify?

A

force

92
Q

What can the 2nd class lever system not amplify?

A

movement

93
Q

Which lever system is triceps at elbow?

A
  • First class lever system
  • Load arm is longer than effort arm so amplifies movement
94
Q

Which lever system is gastrocnemius at ankle?

A
  • Second class lever system
  • Effort arm is longer than load arm so amplifies force
95
Q

Which lever system is biceps at elbow?

A
  • Third class lever system
  • Load arm is longer than effort arm so amlifies movement
96
Q

Force

A

Pushing or pulling effect of another object

97
Q

Newtons 1st law of motion

A

If something is moving, it will continue moving at a constant velocity unless its compelled to change by an external force.
Sometimes known as law of inertia- inertia of an object is directly proportional to it’s mass.
e.g. penalty kick- if you don’t apply force to the ball by kicking it it will remain stationary.

98
Q

Newtons 2nd law

A

The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force causing it.
F=ma
e.g. If you hit a tennis ball with more force it will accelerate faster.

99
Q

Newtons 3rd law

A

When an object exerts a force upon another object, there is a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction exerted by the second object on the first.
e.g. pushing a door open (hand) exerts a force with the same magnitude but opposite direction

100
Q

Centre of gravity

A
  • Point through which gravity acts
  • Centre of mass
    or
  • Point from which the object will balance
101
Q

When does stability occur?

A

When the centre of gravity stays within the base of support

102
Q

When will an object be in stable equilibrium?

A

When it returns to it’s original position after giving a small displacement

103
Q

What features make an object stable?

A
  • Wide base
  • Low centre of gravity
