Unit 1- Applied Anatomy And Physiology Flashcards
Function of skeletal system
- Joints for movement
- Protection of vital organs
- Muscle attachment
- Blood production
- Mineral storage
Different type of bones in body
Long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular
Example of long bone
Humerus, tibia, femur
Example of short bones
Carpel bones in hand
Example of flat bones
Rib cage, sternum, scapula
Example of irregular bones
Vertebrae, pelvis
What is a joint
Where two bones meet
What is flexion
Closing a joint ( elbow for a basketball throw)
What is extension
Opening a joint (kicking a football)
What is adduction
Moving towards an imaginary centre line (swinging a golf club)
What is abduction
Moving away from imaginary centre line (taking back tennis racket before swinging)
What is rotation of a joint
Clockwise or anti-clockwise movement of a limb ( shoulder movement during a top spin forehand in tennis)
What is circumduction
Movement of limb in a circular motion ( bowling a cricket bowl)
What is plantar flexion
Extension at ankle (pointing during gymnastics)
What is dorsiflexion
Flexion at the ankle (lifting toes during gymnastics)
What are the types of joint
Hinge, ball and socket, condyloid, pivot
What is anaerobic energy
Respiration without oxygen, lactic acid build up in muscles
Example- snooker, boccia
What is aerobic energy
Respiration with oxygen, avoids build up of lactic acid, can work for longer
Example- long distance runner, football player
Long term effect of cardiovascular system
Decrease in resting heart rate
Increased no of red blood cells
Increase recovery time
Long term effects of respiratory system
Increased tidal volume, increased number of alveoli
Long term effects of muscular system
Increased muscular strength
Increased tolerance to lactic acid
Long term effects on skeletal system
Increased bone density, increased strength of tendons and ligaments
Short term effects of respiratory system
Breathing increases= allows more oxygen in and co2 out
Short term effects of cardiovascular system
Increase in stroke volume = pump more oxygenated blood to muscles to prevent fatiguing
Short term effect of muscular system
Sweat rate increases= way of cooling down body
What are the types of muscles
Voluntary, involuntary, cardiac
What is a cardiac muscle
Found only heart, automatically contract or relax
What is an involuntary muscle
Not under your control, automatically contract or relax, found in organ and blood vessel walls so constrict and dilate
What is a voluntary muscle
Under your control, you choose when to control or relax, involved in movements of body , skeletal muscles
Does contraction shorten or lengthen muscle
Shorten
Does relaxation shorten or lengthen muscle
Lengthen
What is type 1 muscles fibres
Aerobic exercise example 10,000m
