Q

what is source of blood cell production

A

following blood cells develop in the bone marrow:

A

joints that are slightly moveable

33
Q

what is an example of a cartilaginous joint

A

between the vertebrae

34
Q

what is a synovial joint

A

freely moveable joints, the shape of the joint determines the range of movement

35
Q

what are the 6 types of synovial joints

A 
-condyloid
saddle
pivot
hinge
gliding
ball and socket
36
Q

what is a condyloid joint

A

joint allows movement in two planes

allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction

37
Q

what is a pivot joint

A

joint at the elbow and between first 2 vertebrae

allows twisting or rotation

38
Q

what is a gliding joint

A

formed between bones of the wrist and foot

glide over each other to allow sliding or twisting

39
Q

what is a saddle joint

A

formed between the carpals and metacarpals at the thumbs

allow flexion, abduction, adduction, extension and circumduction

40
Q

what is a ball and socket joint

A

give greatest movement at the hip and shoulder

allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and rotation

41
Q

what is a hinge joint

A

allow flexion and extension at the knee, elbow and ankle

42
Q

what is an example of a pivot joint

A

formed at the first and second vertebrae at the neck and allows someone to tilt their head

43
Q

what is an example of a hinge joint

A

formed between the radius and ulna at the elbow to allow players to bend their arm

44
Q

what is an example of a condyloid joint

A

formed at the carpals at the wrist o allow people to put their hand flat

45
Q

what is an example of a ball and socket

A

formed between the femur and pelvis at the hip to allow movement of the hip

46
Q

what is an example of a saddle joint

A

formed between the carpals and metacarpals at the thumb and wrist

47
Q

what is an example of a gliding joint

A

formed between the tarsals and metatarsals of the foot to increase the flexibility of the foot

48
Q

what are the components of a synovial joint

A 
muscle
bursa
synovial fluid
joint capsule
tendon
bone
articular cartilage
synovial membrane
ligament
49
Q

what is articular cartilage

A

a shiny, elastic material which is designed to reduce friction and absorb shock

50
Q

what is a ligament

A

connects bone to bone, holding the bones in the correct position and stabilising the joint

51
Q

what is a synovial membrane

A

secretes synovial fluid

52
Q

what is the bursa

A

reduce mechanical friction in the joint. they act as a cushion between bone and another part of the joint eg tendons or muscles

53
Q

what is a joint capsule

A

surrounds the synovial joint.
attached to the outer layer of the bones forming the joint.
seals the joint and provides stability to the joint

54
Q

what is synovial fluid

A

lubricates ad reduces friction in the joint
supplies nutrients to the joint
removes waste products from the joint

55
Q

what is a tendon

A

attaches the muscle to bone

56
Q

what is flexion

A

reducing the angle of the boned forming the joint

57
Q

what is extension

A

the angle between the bones at the joint increases and the arm is returned to anatomical position (normal position)

58
Q

what is plantarflexion

A

when the toes are pointed towards the ground

59
Q

what is dorsiflexion

A

the toes are pointed towards the lower leg

60
Q

what is lateral movement

A

sideways movement

61
Q

what is abduction

A

moving the arms and legs away from the midline of the body

62
Q

what is adduction

A

bringing the arms and legs towards the midline of the body

63
Q

what is horizontal adduction

A

horizontal movement towards the midline

64
Q

what is horizontal abduction

A

horizontal movement away from the midline

65
Q

what is horizontal flexion

A

the arms are moved towards the midline

66
Q

what is horizontal extension

A

the arms are moved away from the midline

67
Q

what is hyperextension

A

a contunation of the movement of the spine moving backwards

68
Q

what is lateral flexion

A

movement away from the midline of the body so the body moves from ide to side
eg the neck moving side to side

69
Q

what is circumduction

A

the circular movement

70
Q

what is rotation

A

circular movement that occurs at the hip

71
Q

what are responses of exercise on the skeletal system

A
  • stimulates increase in mineral uptake in the bone

- stimulates production of collagen due to increased stress on bones as a result of exercise

72
Q

what are responses of exercise on the skeltal system within the joint

A

increased range of movement due to
-reduction in viscosity of the synovial fluid
-increased pliability of the ligaments
increased production of synovial fluid to ensure the articular cartilage doesnt dry out

73
Q

what are the adaption of the skeletal system

A
  • increased bone density and strength due to increased mineral content and bone cell activity so the bones are less likely to break or fracture
  • increased ligament strength reduce the risk of dislocation at a joint
  • increased thickness of articular cartilage protects the end of the bones from wear and tear
74
Q

what is osteoarthritis

A

causes the articular cartilage to thin, which will cause pain and lack of mobility at the joint. this would make it difficult to continue exercise

75
Q

what is rheumatoid arthritis

A

causes inflammation of the joints so they become painful and swollen, synovial membrane of the joint becomes inflamed due to the build up of fluid.

76
Q

what is osteoporosis

A

reduction in bone density, it can be caused by lack of calcium and vitamin D
