Musculoskletal System And Movement Anatomy Flashcards
What are all the muscles in the upper body
Posterior deltoid
- trapezius
- external obliques
-latimuss Dorsi
- pectoralis major
- anterior deltoid
- bicep/ tricep brachii
- wrist flexors/ extensors
- rectus abdominals
What are the muscles in the lower body
- Gluteus maximus
- tibialis anterior
- quadricep
- adductor log us
-hamstrings - gastrocnemius
-gluteus medius - soleus
What are the bones in the body
-vertebrae
- ribs
- pelvis
- femur
- fibular
- tibia
-meta tarsels
- filanges
- meta carpels
-scapula
- clavical
- sternum
- radius
-ulna
-patella
-talus
-humerus
What’s the definition of a joint
Where two or more bones meet
What is a ball and socket joint
Allows movement in all directions and is the most mobile joint in the body
What’s a hinge joint
Only allows forwards and backwards movements
Mnemonic to remember planes and axis

For Silly
Things Like
Planes Axis
What are planes
An imaginary flat surface that divide the body into sections
What’s an axis
An imaginary flat line around which something turns
What does the saggital plane do and give an example of the movements
Divide body into left and right
- running, squats
What is the transverse plane and give examples
Divides the body into top and bottom
Eg: twisting when throwing a discus, pivot
What’s a frontal plane and give examples
Divides body into front and back
Eg ;star jump
What movements happen at each plane and axis
Saggital plane, transverse axis: flexion and extension
Frontal plane, saggital axis: abduction and adduction
Transverse plane, longitudinal axis: rotation
What is an agonist
The contracting muscle responsible for causing movement
What is an antagonist
Relaxing which allows the movement
Antagonistic muscle pairs
- muscles are paired up to enable controlled movement
- when lifting weights, the same muscle will contract in both the upwards and downwards phase
-the opposite muscle relaxes to allow this movement to occur
