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
