Online course outline (majority of test) Lesson one functional anatomy Flashcards
(a)___________ and (b)__________ assist in providing structural support to strengthen joints.
a. ligaments
b. tendons
Tough fibrous band of connective tissue that supports internal organs and holds bones together properly in joints
Ligament
Tough fibrous band of connective tissue that connects muscles to bones
Tendon
Individuals with joint laxity or hypermobility (extremely flexible joints) should:.
(a) Strengthen..
(b) Be cautious..
a. Strengthen the surrounding tissues to encourage stability
b. Be cautious during high-force activities
How Joints Work
Articulating surfaces provide(a)_____ ________
(b) __________ ___________ create internal forces that act on bone
(c) __________ __________ is structured in a way that produces and manages efficient force development
a. structural support
b. local stabilizers
c. Connective tissue
Skeletal muscle serves several purposes:
Pulls on(a)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_attached to the skeleton which produces movement Produces tension to maintain (b)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and sustain body positions and supports (c)\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
a. tendons
b. posture
c. soft tissues
Muscle fascia is a type of fibrous connective tissue that:
Separates individual muscles and muscle groups
Provides shape to the arranged fibers it contains
Maintains (a).__________ _________
a. Intra-muscular tension
Made up of long, cylinder-like fibers (muscle cells)
Myofibrils
Proteins within myofibrils that set the actions of muscle into motion
Myofilaments
Thick myofilaments are known as…
Myosin
Thin filaments are known as..
Actin
Standard reference position for the body used when describing locations, positions, and movements of limbs or other anatomical structures
Anatomical position
Dissects the body down the center into side-by-side halves
Example exercise – forward lunge
Sagittal plane
Dissects the body into front and back halves
Example exercise – cable lat pull-down
Frontal plane
Dissects the body into superior and inferior components
Example exercise – cable trunk rotation
Transverse plane
Placed before or in front
Anterior
located behind a part or toward the rear of a structure
Posterior
At, in, near, or being the center; dividing a person into right and left halves
Medial
Position or movement away from, or farther from, the midline of the body
Lateral
Situated nearest to point of attachment or origin
Proximal
Situated farthest from point of attachment or origin, usually in reference to a limb or bone
Distal
To bend:
In hinge joints - the articulating bones move closer together
In ball and socket joints - the limb moves anterior to the midaxillary line
Flexion
To straighten or extend:
In hinge joints - the articulating bones move away from each other
In ball and socket joints - the limb moves posterior to the midaxillary line
Extension
Spinal movement to the left or right; occurs at the neck and trunk
Lateral Flexion
Movement of a structure toward the anterior surface in a horizontal line
Protraction
Movement back to the anatomical position, or posterior to functional range of motion
Retraction
Movement of the ball of the foot toward the shin
Dorsi flexion
Foot movement toward the plantar surface (ankle extension)
Plantar Flexion
Rotation of the forearm where the radius and ulna cross; palms face posterior
Pronation
Rotation of the forearm where the radius and ulna uncross; palms face anterior
Supination
Consists of turning the ankle so the plantar surface of the foot faces medially
Inversion
Consists of turning the ankle so the plantar surface of the foot faces laterally
Eversion
Movement away from the midline
Abduction
Movement toward the midline
Adduction
