40 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Axial skeleton
* skull, cranium, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
# appendicular skeleton
* shoulder girdle and bones distal to those structures, pelvic girdle and bones distal to those structures
fibrous joints
* sutures of skull
* allow almost no movement
cartilaginous joints
* allow limited movement
* vertebral disks
synovial joints
* elbow
* allow considerable movement
* hyaline cartilage
uniaxial joint
* operate like hinges (elbow)
* rotates on one axis
biaxial joint
* ankle/wrist
* movement around 2 perpendicular axis
ultiaxial joint
* shoulder/hip
* allow movement through all 3 directions
vertebral column
# cervical bones
* 7
# thoracic
* 12
# lumbar
* 5
# sacral
* 5
# coccygeal
* 3-5
fleshy attachment
* mostly found at proximal ends of a muscle
* muscle directly affixed to bone
o usually over a wide area
o force distributed
fibrous attachments
* tendons
o blend in/contiguous with muscle sheaths and CT surrounding bone (periostieum)
synergist
# assists indirectly in a movement

* control body motion when agonist crosses two joints
o in a squat rectus femoris is the agonist
+ glutes are the synergists - don let back come forward
moment arm
* perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the fulcrum
o line is infinitely long
o passes through point of application of force
o oriented in direction in which force is applied
torque
* the degree to which a force tends to rotate an object about a fulcrum
o magnitude of force x length of moment arm
mechanical advantage
* ratio of the moment arm through which an applied force acts to that through which a resistive force acts
o ration above 1.0 - mechanical advantage
o below 1.0 - mechanical disadvantage
first class lever
* lever where the muscle force and resistive force act on opposite sides of the fulcrum
second class lever
* muscle force and resistive force act on the same side of the fulcrum, with muscle force acting through a moment arm longer than that through which the resistive force acts
* calf muscles raising body up onto balls of feet
third class lever
* muscle force and resistive force act on the same side of the fulcrum, with the muscle force active through a shorter moment arm than that through with the the resistive force acts
sagittal
sections body into left and right
frontal
sections body into front and back
transverse
sections body into top and bottom
acceleration
change in velocity per unit time
strength
the maximal force a muscle or group of muscles can generate at a given velocity
power
# the time rate of doing work

* power=work / time
Best pairing with an apple flan?

a: Meursault
b: Petrus
c: Loupiac
d: Soave
c: Loupiac , a lower quality sweet wine from outlying Bordeaux
angular displacement
angle through which an object rotates
angular velocity
object's rotational speed
rotational work
# torque x angular displacement

* also uses to calculate rotational power
weight
9.8m/s^2 x weight in kg= weight in newtons
What is a Tenuta?
Italian term for estate, popular in Tuscany
contcentric muscle action
contractile muscle force is greater than the external resistive force
eccentric muscle action
muscle lengthens because the contractile force is less than the resistive force
isometric muscle action
muscle length does not change because resistive and contractile forces are equal
weight
mass x acceleration of gravity
inertia
weight + inertial force
inertial force
mass x upward accereration of bar
friction
# the resistive force encountered when attempting to move two objects in contact

* resistive force(Fr) = k x Normal force(Fn)
o k is the coefficient of friction for the two substances
o Fn is the force pressing the two objects together
fluid resistance
# Fr = k x v

* resistive force = constant reflecting characteristics of cylinder and piston, viscosity of fluid, number, size and shape of orifices x piston velocity
elasticity
* Fr = k x X
o k is constant
o X is distance elastic is stretched beyond resting length
negative work and power
* since power = force x velocity, when force is exerted in opposition to the movement of a load power has a negative sign
o i.e. controlled lowering during a bench
* occurs during eccentric movements
* denote work performed on a muscle, not by one
