What are the 3 types of muscle and where are they found? Skeletal: throughout limbs used
for movement
Smooth/visceral: digestive tract, uterus, arteries
Cardiac: heart (striated)
These are all functions of ___:
- motion
- posture
- support
- heat production muscles
The ___ nervous system conveys info from receptors in the periphery of the body to the CNS,
where info is processed and is conveys a response from the CNS to skeletal muscles by the way
of the somatic nervous system using ___ neurons Afferent (sensory); Efferent (motor)
___ maintain body position and equilibrium postural reflexes
The ___ sense perceives the position and movement of the body Labyrinthe
The ___ sense is the body awareness sense and tells us where our body parts are without
having to look for them Proprioceptor or kinesthetic sense
If you close your eyes and raise your left hand, which sense are you testing? Proprioceptor
or kinesthetic sense
,___ reflex is the contraction of a muscle in response to its passive stretching. An example of this
would be feeling the need to use the bathroom Extensor or stretch reflex
___ is the use of proper body movement in daily activity and is the prevention and correction of
posture ergonomics
___ focus on designing equipment and work tasks to conform to the capability of the worker in
relation to pt care and helps with safe patient transfers Patient care ergonomics
___ is the correction or prevention of disorders of body structures used in locomotion. An
example of this would be scoliosis. orthopedics
___ is the state of slight contraction of the usual state of skeletal muscles tonus
___ is the permanent contraction of a muscle contractures
___ exercise is muscle shortening and active movement. An example would be walking
isotonic
___ exercise is muscle contraction without shortening. An example would be holding a yoga
pose Isometric
___ exercise is muscle contraction with resistance. An example would be lifting weights
Isokinetic
True or false: One of the benefits of exercise is that it decreases HR and BP and increases
circulation of fibrinolysin True
, These are benefits of exercise to the ___ system:
- Improved alveolar ventilation
- Decreased work of breathing
- Improved diaphragmatic excursion respiratory
What are some of the benefits of exercise to the musculoskeletal system? Increased muscle
efficiency (strength) and flexibility
Increased coordination
Reduced bone loss
Increased efficiency of nerve impulse transmission
When using the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), how many points
does a patient get if they are able to bathe, dress, and move around themself? 1 point =
independence
0 point = dependence
True or false: A gait belt can be used to lift and transfer a patient False: A gait belt is not
