Paper 1- Applied Anatomy & physiology 1️⃣ Flashcards
Antagonistic muscles
Create movement when one contracts on the other relaxes
Arteries
Take blood away from the heart
Capillaries
Take blood to the muscles
Cardiac output
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute
Functions of the skeleton (5)
Support, aid movement, nutrient storage, protection and blood cell production
Gaseous exchange
The process at the alveoli where oxygen is delivered and carbon dioxide is removed
Joints in the body
Synovial, pivot, ball + socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid.
Slightly moveable
Immovable
Stroke volume
The volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat
Tendon
Tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone
Tidal volume
The amount of air in spired unexpired with each normal breath
Type 1 muscle fibers
Slow twitch- aerobic
Type 11a muscle fibers
Fast twitch- anaerobic
Type 11x muscle fibers
Extremely fast twitch,
anaerobic- no oxygen used
Vascular shunting
Process that increases blood flow to active areas
Vasoconstriction
Too cold,
blood vessels constrict- get smaller
