31
Q

Describe the Cardiovascular System and it’s main role/functions

A

Closed circuit system involving the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Moving blood to the heart to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues while removing the waste. As oxygen is being provided to active cells carbs and fatty acids convert to ATP to fuel activities.

(Temperature regulation and acid base balance)

32
Q

Describe the Respiratory System and it’s main role/functions

A

Makes it possible for the body to exchange gases between the environment and the tissues, replaces oxygen and removes Carson dioxide form the blood.

33
Q

Describe the Skeletal System and it’s main role/functions

A

Active living tissue needed for structural support, movement, organ protection, storage, & formation of blood cells. Support soft tissue and provide attachment sites for most muscles.

Axial Skeleton: Provide main axial support for the body & protect CNS.

Appendicular Skeleton: Bone of upper and lower limbs, as well as shoulders/pelvic.

34
Q

Describe the Nervous System and it’s main role/functions

A

Collect info, analyze said info, and make an appropriate response to fulfill specific needs.

CNS: Brain and spinal cord, Receive sensory input and make a response (Control Center)

PNS: Made up of pairs of nerves that branch from brain/spine. Sensory and Motor

35
Q

Describe the Muscular System and it’s main role/functions

A

Many different parts with different functions. All muscle tissue have the ability to contract and develop tension. 3 types of muscle tissue

Skeletal:

Smooth:

Cardiac:

36
Q

Explain the oxygen carrying capacity and why it’s important

A
37
Q

What are the 3 main types of joints

A

Fibrous:

Cartilaginous:

Synovial:

38
Q

What are the Anatomical Directions

A

Superior: Toward the head
Inferior: Away from the head or
lower
Anterior: Front of body
Posterior: Back of body
Medial: Toward midline of body
Lateral: Away from midline of body
Proximal: Nearest the trunk or point of origin
Distal: Farthest from the trunk or point of origin

39
Q

Describe agonist & antagonist

A

Agonist: Prime mover muscle that does most of the work in an exercise. Synergistic muscles assist agonist with movement

Antagonist: Muscle that opposes the agonist. Shut off do to reciprocal inhibition

40
Q

Describe diuretics

A

Helps the kidneys remove water & salt from body through urine. Could increase dehydration and decrease blood pressure

43
Q

Muscle that are tight in clients with kyphosis posture

A

Tight: Anterior chest/shoulders, Latissimus dorsi & Neck extensors
