Physical Education Flashcards
What is the axial skeleton
Axial skeleton protects the inner organs of the body
What is the function of the skeleton
- Bones provide structure for the body
- Provide attatchment points for muscles
- Protect Vital Organs
- Store amounts of minerals
- Produce red blood cells
What are the 3 joint classification and their characteristics
FIBROUS-immovable
CARTILIGENOUS- slightly moveable
SYNOVIAL- freely moveable
What are the 6 synovial joints
Gliding Saddle Hinge Pivot Condyloid Ball and socket
Three types of muscles
Smooth muscles
Cardiac muscles
Skeletal muscles
What are the 7 steps in explaining the sliding filament theory
- A nerve impulse in transmitted to the muscle
- Chemical released (calcium)
- Myosin filaments attatch to the actin forming cross bridges
- Energy is released , myosin cross-bridges oull the actin filaments inwards shortening the muscle
- Myosin reattach to the actin pulling consistently making a powerstroke
- The muscle contraction can last for as long there is enough calcium and energy to sustain the movement
- The muscle return to its original state
What are the production of movement
EXCITABILITY
The ability to contract in response to chemical and/or electrical signals.
EXTENSIBILITY
The capacity of a muscle to stretch beyond its normal resting length
CONTRACTIBILITY
The ability of a muscle to contract or shorten.
ELASTICITY
The ability of a muscle to return to the original resting length after it has been
stretched.
What are the characteristics of 2A/B and 1A fibres in the body
Fast twitch 2A 2B – Rapid Contreactions speeds , fatigue quicker, create greater force and power
Slow Twitch 1A – Slow contractions speeds , fatigue slower , contracts quicker creating a longer movement over time
What are antagonist pairs and what are the examples of one
Antagonistic pairs are the agonist and antagonist in a movement of 2 muscles. Exg of this in a bicep curl where the angonist muscle is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep which is relaxing.
Identify the three phases of a skill
- Preparation (Before)
- Execution (During)
- Completion (Follow through)
Define linear motion
Define angular motion
Define general motion
Linear motion is the movement on a curved or a straight line however is not the change on an axis
Angular motion is the movement of an action on an axis
General is the combination of both angular and linear motions
Define Newtons 1st Law
An object will remain at rest until a force is acted upon it
Define Newtons 2nd Law
An object will require more force in reference to the mass x acceleration
Define Newtons 3rd Law
Their is an opposite and equal reaction to a force being applied
Identify the projectile factors that influence the trajectory
- Speed of Release
- Angle of Release
- Height of Release
- Gravity
- Spin
- Air Resistance
