Pe term 2 test Flashcards
Name the four main joints ?
Joint- the place where two bones meet
Fibrous joint- fused, immovable joint. Eg cranium
Cartilage joint- limited movement. Vertebral column
Synovial- maximum movement, held together by ligaments
Name two joint fluids
Synovial fluid- acts as a lubricant and cushion
Hyaline cartilage- covering of the bones smooth shiny cartilage
Name the two contraction
Isometric contractions- muscle contracts but no movement. Length muscle same
Isotonic contractions- muscle contracts producing enough force to move object
Name two types of isotonic contractions
1) concentric contraction - muscle shortens and maintains its tension
2) eccentric contraction- muscle lengthens as contracts
Agonist
Prime mover
Muscle that produces most force
Contracts and shortens
The muscle in “agony”
Antagonist
Extends or lengthens
The muscle that relaxes
stabilisers
Surrounding muscles that assist agonist
How does the skeletal system help us ?
- production of blood cells
- protection of internal organs
- storage of minerals
- movement provides muscle with structure
- supports so body doesn’t collapse
What are bones made up of ?
Outer layer> strong, dense and tough
Inside layer> spongy bone, slightly flexible
Middle layer> jelly like bone marrow, calcium
Name the joint actions
Flex ion Extension Abduction Adduction Inversion Eversion Rotation Circumduction Pronation Supernation Dorsiflexion Plantarflexion
Abduction?
Adduction?
Moving away from the Midline
Moving towards Midline
Inversion ?
Eversion?
Rotation of the foot sole turning inwards
Sole turning outwards
Slow twitch
Efficient for using oxygen to generate the body’s fluid
Work slower
Fast twitch
Do not use oxygen
Short bursts of speed and strength
Fatigue easily
Respiratory system
The process by which the body takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide
Gas exchange
Transport gases
Works with circulatory system
Explain the process of the respiratory system
Nose nostril Pharynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Lungs Alveoli
Inspiration ?
Expiration ?
Air rushes into lungs, diaphragm contracts, flattens internal and external muscles, lifts ribs upwards and outwards
Breathing out, ex leaves u, diaphragm relaxes, ribs return to normal position
Circulatory system
- distributes oxygen and nutrients and collects waste
- nourishes every cell in body
- comprises the heart, arteries, blood and veins
Bloods main function
Regulate body temperature
Transportation of oxygen
Protection of the body
Four main blood types
Plasma: 90% water, contains proteins nutrients hormones that dissolve into plasma
Red blood cells: carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout body
White blood cells: protection against disease
Platelets: prevent blood loss and responsible for clotting
Atria?
Ventricles ?
(Heart)
Atria: upper thin walled chamber, receives blood from heart
Ventricles: lower thick walled chamber, blood from heart to body
How does the heart work?
Muscles contract Pulmonary artery Carbon dioxide to lungs Pulmonary veins Aorta Arteries and capillaries
Arteries ?
Carry blood AWAY from the heart
Thick strong elastic walls
Capillaries
Smallest blood vessel
Exchanges oxygen and nutrients to waste
