Tendon

Attaches muscle to bone




Anatomical Position

Position where the body is standing erect, thebfeet positioned hip width apart, with the toes pointing forward, arms hanging to the sides with palms facing forward.

Mountain

Medial


Anatomical Location

Positioned closer to the midline of the body


Superior


Anatomical Location

Positioned closer to the head


(away from the feet)


Lateral


Anatomical Location

Positioned away from the midline or middle of the body


Inferior


Anatomical Location

Away from the head


(closer to the feet)


Proximal


Anatomical Location


Positioned closer to the attached end of a limb or the center of the body
"In close proximity to"

Distal


Anatomical Location

Positioned away from the attached end of a limb or the center of the body
"a greater distance from"

Anterior


Anatomical Location

On or toward the front of the body


Superfical


Anatomical Location


Closer to or on the surface of the body

Deep


Anatomical Location

Further beneath or away from the surface of the body

Posterior


Anatomical Location


On or toward the back of the body

3 planes of motion are?
Sagittal, Frontal, and Transverse Planes

Sagittal


Plane of Motion


Divides the body into right and left sides

Frontal Plane of Motion


Divides the body into front and back (anterior and posterior)

Transverse Plane of Motion
Separates the body into upper and lower segments
horizontal plane
Axial Skeleton

Skeletal System that includes skull, spinal column, sturnum and ribs


80 bones


Appendicular Skeleton

Skeletal system that includes upper and lower extremities, and shoulder and pelvic girdles


126 bones


Articulation

Junction between two adjacent bones (A Joint)


3 types of bone cells:

Osteoclasts- bone destroying cells


Osteoblasts- Bone building cells


Osteocytes - mature bone cells that help regulate bone remodeling


3 types of articulation:


(Joints)

Synarthrodial


Amphiarthrodial


Diathrodial


Synarthrodial Joints
Immovable joints such as between suture joints of skull

Vertebral Column separated into 3 primary regions:

Cervical (skull and neck)


Thoracic (connects to ribs)


Lumbar (sacrum)


Amphiarthrodial Joints
Slightly moveable such as disc between vertabra

Diathrodial joints

Freely moveable joints - most common n the body


aka synovial joints


Pivot Joint

Joint allows for rotation and is characterized by the ring of one bone fitting into or around the process of another.


Example: elbow joint

Hinge Joint

Joint consists of a c-shaped surface of one bone rotating or swinging around the rounded surface of another


Example: elbow and knee

Gliding Joint

Joint allows bones to glide in all directions over eachother.



Example: between carpals of hands and tarsals of feet

Ligaments vs Tendons

Ligaments connect bone to bone


Tendons connects muscle to bone


Saddle Joint

Joint consists of the convex surface of one bone sitting in the concave surface of another.


Example: joint of thumb

Ellipsoid Joint

Joint in which the oval shaped surface of one bone fits into the elongated or elliptical shaped cavity of another.


Example: wrist, finger, toe joints

Ball and Socket Joint

Joint in which the ball like head of one bone fits into the cup shaped socket of another.


Example: shoulder joint

Skeletal muscle consists of long cylindrical cells called ____________, each of which is comprised of thousands of smaller threadlike structures called ___________.

Skeletal muscle consists of long cylindrical cells called muscle fibers each of which is comprised of thousands of smaller threadlike structures called myofibrils.

3 classifications of Muscle tissue

Cardiac (walls of heart)


Smooth (lines internal organs)


Skeletal (most abundant; voluntary)

Sliding Filament Theory

Suggests the when stimulated by the central nervous system, the small heads extending from the myosin filaments bind with the action filaments creating cross bridges.

Myofibrils are comprised of even smaller contractual proteins called ___________; two types are _______, the thin filament and ______, the thick filament.

Myofibrils are comprised of even smaller contractual proteins called myofilaments; two types are actin, the thin filament and myosin, the thick filament.

Isotonic Action

Action where the muscle shoetens and lengthens as force is generated against an external load


Isometric Action

Action where the muscle produces force, but there is no resulting movement and no change in muscle length

I.A.

Difference between Concentric and Eccentric Phases


of Isotonic Action?

Concentric is the shortening phase of isotonic muscle action.


Eccentric is the lenghtening phase of isotonic muscle action


Agonist


Muscle functions

Muscle(s) responsible for a specific movement

Stabilizers


Muscle functions

Muscles that function to support and stabilize a body segment which enables agonists to effectively perform the desired movement.

Synergist


Muscle functions

Other muscles that assist the agonist to perform a certain movement

Antagonist


Muscle functions

Muscle(s) that work in direct opposition to the agonist
