What is the job of the white blood cells in regards to the body's
immune system - ANSWER-White cells attack any germs that
are present in the body.
Where are white cells located as far as our immune system -
ANSWER-Lymph nodes, thymus gland, spleen, tonsils and
adenoids
Lymph nodes - ANSWER-Act as filters or germ traps. They
contain billions of white blood cells which multiply rapidly to
fight off invading pathogens

flexor digitorum superficialis, palmaris longus Kama extensor
carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor
,carpi ulnaris, extensor digiti minimi, extensor digitorum,
anconeus

Quadriceps
Name the 4 muscles that make up the quadriceps - ANSWER-
Rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medial is and vastus
internedius
All but which quad muscle originates at the femur - ANSWER-
The rectus femoris which is located at the middle, front of the
thigh, and originates from the ilium
All four quad muscles insert at the - ANSWER-Tibial tuberosity
of the tibia. The quadriceps tendon becomes the patellar
ligament

,What are the prime movers for flexion at the knee joint -
ANSWER-Hamstrings
What is flexion at the knee joint - ANSWER-Bringing the foot up
and back toward the glutes
All but which muscle originate at the tuberosity of the ischium
and insert at the medial portions of the tibia - ANSWER-Biceps
femoris, which originates on the posterior crest/ridge of the
femur and inserts into the lateral portions of the fibula
Best exercise for the hammies - ANSWER-Hamstring curl
What are the Calves - ANSWER-Two muscles-gastrocnemius

ANSWER-True
during the eccentric contraction, the muscles that are
lengthening are the
Agonist - ANSWER-True
What is an antagonist muscle - ANSWER-Text to return a limit
to its original place they oppose the movement of The Agonist
What are antagonist muscle examples - ANSWER-Pectorals to
latissimus dorsi, anterior and posterior deltoids, left and right
external obliques, quadriceps to hamstrings, biceps and
triceps, forearm flexors to forearm extensors
What is a synergist muscle - ANSWER-It neutralizes the extra
motion from The Agonist and are sometimes referred to as
