KNH 184 EXAM #1 VERIFIED STUDY GUIDE
discrete skill - Answers - brief action with definable beginning and end
serial skill - Answers - discrete skills put together to make something new
continuous skill - Answers - skills that can more or less continue indefinately
open skill - Answers - skill that takes place in an unpredictable environment
closed skill - Answers - you know what will happen and nothing will change while doing
the skill
fine skill - Answers - small movements
gross skill - Answers - skills that use large muscle groups
cognitive skill - Answers - skills that require thinking
motor skill - Answers - movement you make determines how effective you are
skill - Answers - the ability to bring about an end result with maximum certainty,
minimum outlay of energy, or time and energy
cervical (C4) SCI - Answers - - tetraplegia
- no function in most of body
Thoracic (C6) SCI - Answers - - tetraplegia
- arms are more or less unaffected
Lumbar (T6) SCI - Answers - - paraplegia
- impairment of just the lower extremities
Sacral (L1) SCI - Answers - - paraplegia
- only legs/lower body are affected
cerebrum - Answers - - outer layer of the cerebral cortex
- two hemispheres
- four lobes
sensory cortex - Answers - area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and
processes body touch and movement sensations
, motor cortex - Answers - an area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary
movements
cerebellum - Answers - - helps provide smooth, coordinated body movement
- damage to the cerebellum results in ataxia
brain stem - Answers - - connects brain and spinal cord
- comprised of midbrain, pons, and medulla
pons - Answers - - like the cerebrum and cerebellum
- regulates sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, among other
medulla - Answers - - cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor centers
- regulates involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
SIDS - Answers - - condition where babies die suddenly while sleeping
- SIDS babies were more likely to have deficiencies with their serotonin receptors in
their brain, which plays a key role in breathing and arousal from sleep
spinal column vertebrae - Answers - - 7 cervical
- 12 thoracic
- 5 lumbar
- 5 sacral
- 2 fused
dorsal root - Answers - afferent and sensory neurons
ventral root - Answers - efferent and motor
white matter - Answers - myelinated axons
grey matter - Answers - cell bodies for the axon
tendons - Answers - attach muscle to bone
muscles ___ bones - Answers - pull
static muscle action - Answers - tension is generated within the muscle, but the bone
does not move
dynamic muscle action - Answers - the body segment moves during the generation of
muscle tension
agonist muscle - Answers - muscle that performs the joint motion (prime mover)
