Question 15

what are the cardinal planes

Answer 15

sagittal [left and right]
frontal aka coronal [front and back]
transverse aka horizontal [ top bottom]

Question 16

define axis of rotation

Answer 16

an imaginary line that passes through a joint or body to describe movement

Question 17

1] runs from side to side, involved in flexion/extension and dorsi/plantar flexion and is perpendicular to sagittal plane.
2] runs from back to front, involves Abd/add and ulna/radial deviation and is perpendicular to horizontal plane.
3] head to toe, involves int/ext rot, horizontal abd/add and pronation/supination and is perpendicular to transverse plane.

Answer 17

1] horizontal [medio-lateral]
2] sagittal [antero-posterior]
3] longitudinal [vertical]

Question 18

types of contraction and sub-types

Answer 18

isometric [static]
isotonic [concentric [shorten] and eccentric [elongate]]

Question 19

muscle lever system

Answer 19

1st lever [head neck movement= the fulcrum is at the center head forward as load and neck muscles pushing downward as force to make head straight]
2nd lever [when walking on heel lifting fingers as fulcrum, heel as load and gastrocnemius as upward force]
3rd lever [biceps flexing as upward force, elbow as fulcrum and palm as load]

Question 20

these muscles are primary movers during exercises, they provide major force

Answer 20

agonistics

Question 21

they oppose the agonists, and they relax while agonists contracts

Answer 21

antiagonists

Question 22

they help creating movement and stabilize joint around the movement

Answer 22

synergist
