eating to daily living
What areas of exercise therapy would require a highly trained exercise physiologist or physician
to prescribe appropriate regiments? - ✔️✔️cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, joint
injury, or obesity/metabolic disorders including diabetes and hypertension
Muscle purpose - ✔️✔️Produce force, maintain posture, allow for movement and produce heat
All muscle action originates and is controlled by? - ✔️✔️the brain which sends and receives
signals through the nervous system
What gets pulled during a muscle contraction? - ✔️✔️tendons, the strong CT that connects
muscles to bones
Two parts of a muscle - ✔️✔️origin and insertion
Muscle origin - ✔️✔️the point at which the muscle joins the stationary bone
closest to the center of the body
Muscle insertion - ✔️✔️the point at which muscle joins "moving boat" when a muscle contracts
the insertion moves TOWARD the origin
,How many muscles in the average adult body? - ✔️✔️656
STATEMENT - ✔️✔️muscles are joined together to form muscle groups to execute bodily
movement
they CAN get shorter but CANNOT push

insertions? - ✔️✔️Tubercles
ex: tibial tuberosity creates an attachment point for the patellar ligament
What is a joint? - ✔️✔️location at two or more bones, come together for movement and
mechanical support
What is a ligament? - ✔️✔️Strong stretchy bands of fibrous tissue that hold joints together
What is cartilage? - ✔️✔️covers the end of each bone and is a tough flexible CT that has a
smooth, shiny surface
What is the name of the slippery fluid located between bones? - ✔️✔️Synovial fluid
keeps bones from scratching and bumping against each other during movement
