Question 3

Transverse Plane

Answer 3

An imaginary bisectors that divides the body into top and bottom halves.

Question 4

Posterior

Answer 4

On the back of the body

Question 5

Anterior

Answer 5

front of the body

Question 6

Lateral

Answer 6

refers to a position relatively farther away from the midline of the body.

Question 7

Medial

Answer 7

Positioned near the middle of the body

Question 8

Superior

Answer 8

Positioned above a point of reference

Question 9

Inferior

Answer 9

Positioned below a point of reference

Question 10

Flexion

Answer 10

A bending movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments decreases

Question 11

Extension

Answer 11

A straightening movement in which the relative angle between two adjacent segments increases.

Question 12

Abduction

Answer 12

A movement in the frontal plane away from the midline of the body.

Question 13

Concentric Muscle Action

Answer 13

When a muscle is exerting force greater than the resistive force resulting in shortening of the muscle

Question 14

Eccentric Muscle

Answer 14

An eccentric muscle action occurs when a muscle develops tension while lengthening.

Question 15

Isometric Muscle Action

Answer 15

When a muscle is exerting forces equal to the force equal to the force being placed on it , leading to no visible change in muscle length

Question 16

Isokinetic muscle Action

Answer 16

When a muscle shortens at a constant speed over the full range of motion.

Question 17

Length Tension Relationship

Answer 17

The resting length of muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.

Question 18

Force - Couple

Answer 18

Muscle groups moving together to produce a movement around a joint.

Question 19

Motor Learning

Answer 19

Integration of motor control processes through practice and experience leading to relatively permanent change in the capacity to produce skilled movements.

Question 20

Motor Behavior

Answer 20

Motor response to internal and external environmental stimuli.

Question 21

Motor Control

Answer 21

How the central nervous system integrates internal and external sensory information with previous experience to produce a motor response.

Question 22

Proximal

Answer 22

Positioned farthest from the center of the body or point reference.

Question 23

First Class Lever

Answer 23

The fulcrum is in the middle like a seesaw

Question 24

Second Class Lever

Answer 24

have resistance in the middle with the fulcrum and effort on either side.

Question 25

Third Class Lever

Answer 25

Have the effort places between the resistance and the fulcrum.
