Week 1: Basic Physiology

Question 1

What is Basic Physiology?

Answer 1

Study of human body function

Question 2

Types of Muscle

Answer 2

Smooth, Cardiac, Skeletal/Striated

Question 3

Muscles apply force by contracting and pulling on bones.

Answer 3

Muscle Contraction

Question 4

a muscle contraction in which the force of the muscle is greater than the resistance, resulting in joint movement with shortening of the muscles.

Answer 4

Isotonic Contraction

Question 5

A shortening of the muscle as a result of contracting.

Answer 5

Isotonic: Concentric Phase

Question 6

A lengthening of the muscle during its contraction; resists movement caused by another force.

Answer 6

Isotonic: Eccentric Phase

Question 7

A muscle contraction in which the muscle length is changed.

Answer 7

Isometric Contraction

Question 8

A muscle contraction with controlled speed, allowing maximal force to be applied throughout the range of motion.

Answer 8

Isokinetic Contraction
