Year 1 Flashcards
3 planes of movement
Transverse, frontal and saggital
Describe the 3 planes of movement
Transverse - splits body from top to bottom
Frontal - splits body from front to back
Saggital - splits body from left to right.
Isometric contraction
Where the muscles are working but there is no limb movement. E.g the rings in gymnastics
Concentric contraction
Muscles shorten whilst working e.g upwards phase of bicep curl
Eccentric contraction
Muscles lengthen while working e.g upwards phase of bicep curl
Steps through the conduction system
- impulse starts at the SA node
- spreads across atria to the AV node which holds the impulse until atria has fully contracted
- impulse is distributed down the bundle of his.
- branches split and the impulse travels left and right
- distributed down the purkyne fibres and around the ventricles.
What is diastole
Relaxation phase - blood fills the atria.
Pressure in atria increases
SL valves shut to stop back flows.
Systol (atria)
Atria contract forcing blood into ventricles
Ventricular systol
Ventricles contract - increasing blood pressure and closing AV valve
Blood ejected from ventricles
