PE Flashcards
made up of area called lobes
Lungs
Has 2 Lobes, Smaller than the other
Left Lung
Types of Body Movement
Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, Rotation, Circumduction, Pronation, Supination, Inversion, Eversion, Dorsiflexion, Plantar Flexion
Steps on how to brace:
Lay on your back, legs extended, Take a deep breath and fill your stomach with air, Slightly bring your ribs down to your pelvis, Squeeze your stomach as if you’re preparing to be punched while also tensing your lower back.
Has 3 lobes
Right Lung
bending forward at the hip
Flexion
is the action of producing and increasing 360o of intra-abdominal pressure to activate the musculature of the core to maintain a desired position of the spine while moving and/or exposing the spine to load. Intra-abdominal pressure: Pressure within your abdomen created by an interaction of the abdominal wall and surrounding tissue.
Bracing
opposite of the flexion, so it is a movement that increases the angle, or the distance, between two bones or parts of the body.
Extension
While many people focus on completely inhaling in order to improve their breathing, most people only exhale _____ of the carbon dioxide in their lungs.
70 Percent
moving the limb away, the terminology also applies to the fanning of movement of the fingers or toes when they are spread apart.
Abduction
moving the palm from a posterior position to an anterior position, it is the opposite of pronation.
Supination
movement at the ankle that moves the instep of the foot up and dorsally toward the shin.
Dorsiflexion
helps air to travel into the lungs and carbon dioxide to travel out of the lungs unimpeded
Sitting up straight
opposite of the abduction, so it is the movement of a limb toward the body midline.
Adduction
it is the turning of the sole of the foot so that it faces medially
Inversion
straightens the ankle joint, causing the toes to point downward; standing on your toes.
Plantar Flexion
movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis.
Rotation
It is the turning of the sole of the foot laterally, and is the opposite of inversion.
Eversion
moving the palm of the hand from an anterior, or upward facing, position to a posterior, or downward-facing position.
Pronation
At the same time, carbon dioxide travels into the air sacs from the blood stream and is expelled from the body as you exhale. On average, this process is repeated between________ a day, every day, as long as a person is alive.
17,000-30,000a day
a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction commonly seen in ball-and-socket joints such as shoulder.
Circumduction
Towards the midline of the body, pertaining to the middle or center.
Medial
Below another structure, towards the feet.
INFERIOR (DOWNWARD/INWARD)
______ allows the lungs to expand quickly and efficiently with every breath.
Sitting up straight
Before you can understand proper breathing techniques, it is important to know a little about how your body breathes. When you breathe in, or inhale, the muscle on the bottom of your ribcage, called your ______, contracts and moves downward. This allows the lungs to have ample room to expand.
Diaphragm
Towards the back, pertaining to the rear
Posterior (BACK)
Away from the midline, on or towards the outside.
Lateral
Above another structure, towards the feet.
Superior (UPWARD/OUTWARD)
The muscles between your ribs, called the _______, contract to pull your ribcage upward and outward. As your lungs expand, air is sucked in through your nose and mouth and travels down your trachea to your lungs.
Intercostal muscles
Towards the front, pertaining to the front
Anterior (Front)
Carries air into the lungs
Trachea
