Term
What is the Human Movement System?
Definition
The combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal system. aka the kinetic chain

What is the nervous system?
Definition

A conglomeration of billions of cells specifically designed to provide a communication network with in the human body

 

Divided into two parts

Central and Peripheral nervous system

Central nervous system is composed of what?
Definition
The brain and spinal cord
Term
Peripheral Nervous system is composed of what?

nerves and connects brain and spinal cord to rest of the body
Term
What are the three primary functions of the nervous system
Definition
Sensory, integrative, motor functions
Term
What is Sensory function?
Definition

the ability of the nervous system to sense changes in either the internal or external enviorment

Example

Term
What is Integrative Function?
Definition
The ability of the nervous system to analyze and interpret sensory information to allow for proper decision making, whcih produces the appropriate response.
Term
What is Motor Function?
Definition
Is the neromuscular response to the sensory information

Term
What is Sensory (Afferent) Neurons:
Definition
Respond to touch, sound, light, and other stimuli and transmit nerve impulses from effector sites (such as muscle and organs) to brain and spinal cord

What is the Motor (efferent) neurons?
Definition
Transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the effector sites (such as muscle or glands)
Term
What are Interneurons?
Definition
Transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another
Term
What is mechanoreceptors?
Definition
Sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion in body tissues
Term
What are muscle  Spindles
Definition
Receptors sensitive to change in legth of the muscle and the rate of that change
Term
What are Golgi tendon Organs
Definition
Receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that change
Term
What are Joint Receptors?
Definition
receptors surrounding a joint that respond to pressure, acceleration and deceleration of the joint

a type of cell that is responsible for bone formation
Term
Bones serve for two vital functions in movement, what are they?
Definition
  1. Leverage
  2. support

206 skeletal system

177 voluntary

300 joints

Term
What is remodeling?
Definition
The process of resorption and formation of bone
Term
What are the 5 major types of bones?
Definition

Long bones

short bones

flat bones

irregular bones

sesamoid bones

Term
What are long bones?
Definition

long, cylindrical shaft and irregular or widened ends

(Humerus, femur)

Term
What are short bones?
Definition

Similar in length and width and appear somewhat cubical in shape

(carpals of hands, tarsels of feet)

Term
WHat are flat bones?
Definition

Thin, protective

(Scapulae)

Term
What are Irregular bones?
Definition

Unique shape and function

(vertebrae)

Term
What are Sesamoid bones?
Definition

Small often round bones embedded in a joint capsule or found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint

(Pattella)

Term
What is epiphysis?
Definition
The end of long bones, which is mainly composed of cancellous bone and house much of the red marrow involved in red blood cell production. they are also one of the primary sites for bone growth[image]
Term
What is Diaphysis
Definition

The Shaft portion of a long bone

 

[image]

Term
What is the medullar cavity?
Definition

 

The central cavity of bone shafts where marrow is stored

[image]

Term
what is Depressions
Definition

Flattened or indented portions of bone, which can be muscle attachement sites

  • PG 28 for picture
Term
What is Processes?
Definition
Projections protruding from the bone where muscles, tendons, and ligaments can attach
Term
What is the Vertebral column?
Definition
A series of irregularly shaped bones called vertebrae that houses the spinal cord.
Term
How many vertebrae is in each section?[image]
Definition
  1. Cervical 7
  2. Thoracic 12
  3. Lumbar 5
  4. Sacrum 5
  5. coccyx 3-5 fused together bones
Term
What is Arthokinematics
Definition
Joint Motion
Term
Three major types of motion in joints. Name them?
Definition
  1. Roll
  2. slide
  3. Spin
Term
What is rolling movement?
Definition

Joint rolls across the surface of another like a tire of a bicycle rolls on street.

(femur and tibia joint rolling)

[image]

Term
What is sliding movement?
Definition

One joints surface slides across another much like tire of bicycle skidding across the street

 

Example is tibial condyles moving(sliding) across the femoral condyles during knee extension.

Term
What is Spinning movement
Definition

one joint surface rotates on another much like twisting lid off a jar.

Example: radius rotating on the end of humerus during pronation and supination of the forearm

Term
What is Synovial Joints?
Definition
  • Are the most common joints asociated with human movement.
  •  80% of all joint movement in the body

[image]

Term
What is condyloid Joint?
Definition

Formed by fitting of condyles of one bone into elliptical cavites of another; moves predominantly in one plane

uniaxial; moves predominantly in one plane of motion (sagittal)

Example: Elbow

Term
What is Saddle Joint?
Definition

One bone fits like a saddle on another bone; moves in two planes (sagittal, joint of thumb fronal)

Example: Carpometeacarpal

[image]

Term
What is Pivot Joint?

Term
What is Ball and socket Joint
Definition

Most mobile of joints; moves in all three planes of motion

  • Epimysium - layer of connective tissue that is underneathe the fascia and surrounds muscle
  • perimysium - connective tissue that surrounds fasciales
  • [image]
Term
What are tendons?
Definition

attach muscle to bone

provide anchor for muscles to produce force
