UNit 2 Flashcards
anatomical position?
standard position (standing straight, looking forward, arms at your side, and hands facing forward)
ANatomical relationships
Anterior / Posterior
Superior / Inferior
Medial / Lateral
Proximal / Distal
Anterior/ Posterior
Anterior refers to the front surfaces of the body.
Posterior refers to the back surfaces of the body
Superior / Inferior
Superior refers to upward surfaces
Inferior refers to downward surfaces
Medial / Lateral
Medial means towards the midline
Lateral means away from the midline
Proximal / Distal
Proximal means towards the point of attachment of the limb to the body
Distal means farther away from the point of attachment
Superficial/Deep
Superficial means on, or close to, the surface of the body
Deep means farther away from the surface of the body
what your body can be divided into?
Anatomical planes
Anatomical axes
Anatomical Planes
Frontal plane
The frontal (coronal) plane is vertical and extends from one side of the body to the other.
Transverse plane The transverse (horizontal) plane is horizontal and divides the body into upper and lower segments.
Sagittal plane
The sagittal (median) plane is vertical and extends from the front of the body to the back.
Anatomical Axes
Horizontal axis
The horizontal axis extends from one side of the body to the other.
Longitudinal axis The longitudinal axis (also known as the polar axis) is vertical, running from head to toe.
Antero-posterior axis
The antero-posterior
axis extends from the front of the body to the back.
Circumduction
is a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction (e.g., when a softball pitcher throws a ball with a “windmill” action).
Protraction
refers to moving an anterior (forward) direction. Sticking out your chin is an example.
Retraction
refers to moving in a posterior (backward) direction. Pushing your shoulders back to squeeze your shoulder blades is an example.
Flexion and Exstention
Flexion is the action of bending at a joint such that the joint angle decreases (e.g., when you bend your elbow to bring your palm up towards your face).
Extension occurs when you increase the angle joint.
Abduction and adduction
Abduction (“ab” = “from”) is when you move a body segment to the side and away from your body (e.g., moving your arm out to the side and bringing it level with your shoulder).
Adduction (“ad” = “to”) is when you move a body segment towards the body.
planter flexion and dorsiflexion
Plantar flexion is specific to the ankle joint. It occurs when you point your toes (e.g., when you stand on your tip toes).
Dorsiflexion occurs when you bend the ankle to bring the top of your foot closer to your shin.
supination and pronation
Supination is lateral rotation of the wrist such that the palm of your hand is facing forward (e.g., when you catch a softball underhanded with one hand).
Pronation occurs in the opposite direction. Medial rotation of the wrist such that the palm of the hand is facing backward (e.g., when you dribble a basketball you must first pronate your wrist).
Inversion and eversion
Inversion is associated with the ankle joint. It is a result of standing on the outer edge of your foot (e.g., when you twist your ankle).
Eversion is a result of standing on the inner edge of your foot.
external and internal rotation
External rotation results when you twist or turn a body part outward from the midline (eg., turning your toes outward).
Internal rotation results when you twist or turn a body part inward towards the midline.
elevation and depression
Elevation refers to movement in an upwards direction (e.g., hunching your shoulders).
Depression is the opposite motion—movement in a downwards direction (e.g., slouching your shoulders)
What are all bones composed of
living tissue
How many bones in body
300 into 206
What non-living material is bones made up of
water + minerals
t or f bones are composed of calcium
t
Calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate: bone composition
-make up 60-70% of bone weight
-provides bones stiffness and resistance to pressing and squeezing forces
Collagen: bone composition
-gives bone flexibility and contributes the ability to resist pulling and stretching forces
- aging collagen decreases
Water: bone composition
-composed of little ater
skeleton system
structural support to the body protects vital organs, serves as a growth centre for cells, acts as a reverse for minerals and major role in the movement.
Skeleta system
-structural support
-protection
-growth centre for cells
-a reservoir of minerals
-movement
Types of bones
Long Bones- arms and legs
Short Bones- wrists
Flat Bones- roof of the skull
Irregular Bones- odd-looking, vertebrae
Sesamoid bones- unusually small, flat, wrapped, within tendons over the body surfaces
Cartilage
-located in both ends
-referred to as a articular or articulating Cartlidge
-allows smooth movement within joints
Periosteum
-outer connective tissue that covers the entire length of the bone
-periosteum fibers and fiber ligaments and tendons unite to connect bone to bone or bone to muscle
Medullary Cavity
-inside the shaft of the bone
-filled with red + yellow marrow
RED- blood cell formation occurs
YELLOW- flat+connective tissue has no role in blood formation
Diaphysis
Where the bone is the thickest
Compact Bone
-dense part of the bone
-responsible for structural integrity
Cancellous bone (spongey bone)
-filled with marrow + small cavitys like spaces
-can be strengthend with exersise load on bone
Epiphysis
-end of the bone
-outer surface of it is made up compact bone and cartilage
Epiphyseal plates
-growth plates
Cortex
-exterior layer of the bone
-dense and smooth varying thickeness depending on the bone
-consists of networks of fibers that mesh with blood vessels and bone marrow
Trabeculae
-bony fibers arranged in strut like systems running throughout the cancellous tissue
-density depends varying on type of bone and stress
Landmark
ridge, bump, groove, depression or prominence on the surface. Uses for a guide to the location for other body structures
Fractures: breaks in the bone (3 main types)
Simple- no separation of the bone into parts crack is detected
Compound- bone breaks into separate pieces, a major blow
Comminuted- both ends are shattered into many pieced
Stress fracture
tiny cracks bone caused by a rapid increase of activity when athletes switch training surfaces , improper cushioning
Stress fracture/hairline fracture
tiny cracks in a bone caused by rapid increase in activity or when athlete switches training shoes
shin splints
stress fracture on the tibia (caused by over use)
Osteoporosis
a degenerative disease characterized by low bone mass and bone deterioration
-leads to bone fragility
-no cure
prevention -
-balanced diet
-weight bearing extersise
REDS syndrome
relative energy deficiency in sports more known commonly as a female athlete triad
REDS is caused by
-not eating enough
-not enough energy
-decreaed horomonal pathway
Amenorrhea
loss of menstruation -cause of decreased estrogen
REDS affects
-altered hormonal levels due to energy deficiency
-cardiovascular problems
-setting up for heart disease
-affects immunity and protein synthesis
REDS treatment
-see physician, dietitian, physical therapist
-intake more food
