List and briefly describe the six (6) components of wellness, using
the acronym mnemonic, "SPICES" Correct Answer 1) social
health: how having genuine interactions with people face to face
is crucial to our social health and overall wellbeing;
2) Physical health: has 5 components dealing with endurace,
muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body
composition.; 3) Intellectual Health: how we integrate new
information;
4) Cognitive Health: How we process information in our brains;
5) Emotional Health: How we view ourselves and our
relationships;
6) Spiritual Health: Having a connection with a higher power.;
Abduction Correct Answer Movement away from the body or
body part's midline; lifting your arm up to the horizontal position at
your side
Adduction Correct Answer Movement toward the body or body
part's midline; lowering your arm from the horizontal position back
down to your side
Extension Correct Answer The straightening of a joint that
increases the angle; reaching out your arm, straightening at elbow
Flexion Correct Answer The bending of a joint that decreases the
angle; bending at elbow
Internal Rotation Correct Answer Movement of body part towards
the axis/towards center of body
,External Rotation Correct Answer Movement of body part away
from axis/away from center of body
Retraction Correct Answer Backward (posterior) movement of a
body part; generally referring to scapulae and skull/cervical spine
Protraction Correct Answer Forward (anterior) movement of a
body part; generally referring to scapulae and skull/cervical spine
Hyperextension Correct Answer Extension beyond normal limits,
over extended; a body part or joint is bent backwards too far
Hypoextension Correct Answer Extension that is less than
normal, under-extended; not being able to extend at the knee
because of a tight hamstring
Gliding Correct Answer Movement of non-angular joints over
each other
Deviation Correct Answer Departure from the midline
Pronation Correct Answer Palm of hand turning downward into a
posterior position when arm is down at side; the inward roll of the
foot/arch decreased during normal walking motion
Supination Correct Answer Palm of hand turning upward into an
anterior position when arm is down at side; the outward roll of the
foot/arch heightened during normal walking motion
Inversion Correct Answer Turning both feet inward so the soles
face each other
Eversion Correct Answer Turning both feet outward so the soles
face away from each other
,Plantarflexion Correct Answer Pointing foot downward (e.g. going
up on tiptoes)
Dorsiflexion Correct Answer Pointing foot up towards the shin
The ankle is distal to the hip. Correct Answer True
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The ______ is proximal to the
wrist. Correct Answer elbow
The knee is _____ to the hip and _____ to the ankle. Correct
Answer distal; proximal
List the 4 types of contraction: Correct Answer 1) isometric
2) isokinetic
3) isotonic - eccentric
4) isotonic - concentric
Isotonic Correct Answer Where the load on the muscle is less
than the generated tension, resulting in movement
Isokinetic Correct Answer Where the muscle contracts and
shortens at a constant rate of speed
Isometric Correct Answer Where the load on the muscle is
greater than the generated tension, no movement takes place
Eccentric Correct Answer Referred to by the increase in the
length of the muscle during isotonic contraction; the "negative"
part of the contraction
Concentric Correct Answer Referred to by the decrease in the
length of the muscle during isotonic contraction; the "positive" part
of the contraction
, Sagittal Plane Correct Answer 1) Vertical Plane
2) Divides: right and left sides
Frontal Plane Correct Answer 1) Motion = abduction and
adduction
2) Divides: front half and back half
Transverse Plane Correct Answer 1) Horizontal Plane
2) Motion = internal rotation and external rotation
The axial skeleton is made up of the bones in the: Correct Answer
trunk, or center of the body
The appendicular skeleton is made of the bones in the: Correct
Answer limbs and upper and lower extremities
Irregular Bones Correct Answer vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx,
mandible, hyoid
Flat Bones Correct Answer cranium, scapula, sternum, ribs, ilium
(pelvis)
Short Bones Correct Answer tarsals (in feet), carpals (in hands)
Sesamoid Bones Correct Answer joint bones in hands, knee
(patella), and feet
Long Bones Correct Answer clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna,
femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges
If you want to build new mitochondria (to improve the endurance
capability of the working muscles by increasing energy storage
capacity) while also purposely expending as much stored
glycogen as possible (in order to maximize fat mobilization during
