PE GCSE Flashcards
name 6 functions of the skeleton and discribe
support - keeps the body upright
muscle attachment - via tendons
movement - movement occurs at a joint
shape - the shape of a bone dertermine movements
protection - protect organs
blood cell production - long bones produce red and white blood cells
how many bones are there (to know)
20
what is a long bone
due to shape not size - enable movement to occur
what is a flat bone
offers protection to vital organs - protects vital organs from impact
what is a short bone
minimal movement - shock absorber for weight bearing activites
do a fill in the blanks skeleton system
what is a fixed joint
no movement to be found such as the cramium
what is a cartilaginous joint
some movement can occur - shock absorber such as the veterbrae
what is a synovial joint
wide range of movement where 2 or more bones meet
what is cartilage
a tough connective tissue
what is a ligament
connects bone to bone
what is a tendon
connects muscle to bone
go label/draw a blank synovial joint
name the synovial joints
hinge
ball and socket
what movement can happen at hinge joints (& examples)
moves in one plane
flexion & extension
plantar & dorsi-flexion
what movement can happen at ball and socket joints (& examples)
moves in 3 planes
rotation
adduction & abduction
name and explain movements at joints
abduction
adduction
rotation
plantar flexion
dorsi flexion
flexion
extension
go label a blank diagrams of muscle location
what are antagonistic pairs
2 muscles working together to create movement
one muscle contracts while the other relaxes
what is isometric contraction
the muscle is contracting but still (eg. handstand)
what is isotonic contraction
the muscle moves under pressure
what is isotonic concentric
contracts and lengthens
what is eccentric contractions
the muscle contracts and shortens
joint and muscle movement at bicep and tricep
hinge - movement occurs at the elbow - flexion and extension
movement at the quadriceps and hanstrings
hinge - movement occurs at the knee - flexion and extension
movement at the gastrocnemious & tibialis anterior
hinge - movement occurs at the ankle - plantar flexion and dorsi flexion
movement at the hip flexors and gluteals
ball and socket - movement occurs at the hip - felxion and extension
movement at the deltoids and latissimus dorsi
movement occurs at the shoulder - flexsion and extension/adduction&abduction
what is the agonist and what is the anatagonisrt
agonist - contracts
anatagonist - relaxes
explain slow twitch muscle fibers
type 1
for long distance and endurence
contract slowly
red in color
high level of 02
aerobic
explain fast twitch muscle fibers
type 2a & 2b
for power and strength
contract quickly
pink or white in color
low level of O2
anaerobic
functions of the respiratory system
Takes in oxygen and expels carbon dioxide
Allows gases exchange
Mechanics of breathing
flow of air
nose
trachea
bronchi
bronchioles
aveloi
