Muscular skeletal system Flashcards
Sagittal plane and transverse axis
Saggy Tits
sagittal plane- divides body into left and right
transverse axis- runs from side to side across body
Transverse plane and Longitudinal axis
Tight Lips
transverse plane- divides body top to bottom
longitudinal axis- runs from top to bottom
Frontal plane and Sagittal axis
Floppy Sausage
frontal plane- divides body front and back
sagittal axis- runs from front to back
Bones at joints
Shoulder- scapula, humerus Hip- pelvis, femur Knee- femur, tibia Elbow- radius, ulna, humerus Ankle- tibia, fibula, talus
Flexion and Extension
flexion- decrease angle at joint
extension- increase angle at joint
Abduction and Adduction
abduction- moving a limb away from midline of the body
adduction- moving a limb towards midline of the body
Dorsi flexion and Plantar flexion
dorsi flexion- decrease angle at ankle
plantar flexion- increase angle at ankle
Agonist and Antagonist
agonist- muscle responsible for movement
antagonist- muscle that works in opposition to agonist
Concentric and Eccentric
concentric- muscle shortens under tension
eccentric- muscle lengthens under tension
