Cranium -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Flat bone that protects the skull
Tendons -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Attach muscle to bone
Ligament -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Attaches a bone to a bone
Flexion -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Decrease in the size of the angle at a joint e.g. bicep curl
Extension -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Increase in the size of the angle at a joint e.g. throwing a
ball
Adduction -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Movement of a body part towards the body e.g. forehand
shot in tennis
Abduction -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Movement of a body part away from the body e.g.
backhand shot in tennis
Hinge Joint -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Examples include elbow and the knee. Flexion and
extension can occur here.
Ball and socket joint -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Examples include the hip and shoulder.
Abduction, adduction and rotation can take place here.
Synovial Membrane -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Produces synovial fluid
Synovial fluid -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Provides lubrication at a joint
Dorsiflexion -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Pointing the toes up at the ankle e.g. passing a ball in
football.
, Plantar flexion -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Pointing the toes down at the ankle e.g. diving from a
board
Rotation -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Movement around an axis in a circular motion e.g. bowling
in cricket.
Bursae -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Sacks of fluid at a joint that reduce friction
Cartilage -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Prevents friction/bones rubbing together, acts as a shock
absorber to allow easier movement
Joint capsule -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Encloses/supports the joint
Concentric Contraction -ANSWER✅✅✅✅When the muscle contracts and shortens
e.g. when when bending the elbow the biceps is the agonist
Isometric Contraction -ANSWER✅✅✅✅When the muscle contracts but stays the
same length e.g. tug of war, planking
Eccentric contraction -ANSWER✅✅✅✅When the muscle lengthens (relaxes) e.g.
when bending the elbow, the antagonist is the tricep which lengthens
Agonist (prime mover) -ANSWER✅✅✅✅The prime mover or agonist is the muscle
which initially contracts to start the movement e.g. biceps during a dumbbell curl.
Antagonist -ANSWER✅✅✅✅The muscle that relaxes to allow the movement to take
place e.g. triceps during a dumbbell curl.
Shape -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Function of the skeleton that provides the body with
structure. Short bones enable fine movement an long bones enable gross movements.
Protection -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Function of the skeleton, flat bones protect the body e.g.
cranium protects the brain.
Support -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Function of the skeleton where muscles and bones are kept
in place supported by the skeleton.
Mineral Storage -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Function of the skeleton where the mineral calcium
helps with bone formation.
Movement -ANSWER✅✅✅✅Function of the skeleton where different types of joints
allow different types of movement, muscles and bones work together to pull.
