Unit 1- Sport BTEC LEVEL 3 Anatomy
and Physiology Study Guide Test.
What is Kyphosis? - CORRECT ANSWER Is when the back forms a hunched shape
What is scoliosis? - CORRECT ANSWER Lateral curvature of the spine.
What is Nuetral spine alignment? - CORRECT ANSWER The spine forms an S shape when viewed from
the side.
What what are bone cells comprised of? - CORRECT ANSWER Osteoblasts which form bone by secreting
collagen.
Osteoclasts, which dissolve bone mineral.
Leverage - CORRECT ANSWER the length of the bone determines how much leverage you have
Weight bearing - CORRECT ANSWER Bones at the pelvis and legs are strong and thick so they can take
weight of skeleton.
Protection - CORRECT ANSWER Vital organs are protected from damage due to bone.
What are the function of a long bone? - CORRECT ANSWER Source of red blood cell production, Enable
large movement and acts a levers
Types of Bone - CORRECT ANSWER long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid
What is the function of a short bone? - CORRECT ANSWER Increase stability, weight bearing and absorbs
shock.
, What is the function of the sesamoid bones? - CORRECT ANSWER Easy joint movement and resist
friction.
Functions of flat bones - CORRECT ANSWER Protect vital organs and enables muscle attachment and
produce blood cells.
Categories of joints in the body - CORRECT ANSWER Fibrous, Cartilaginous, Synovial
What are the types of synovial joints? - CORRECT ANSWER Ball and socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle,
and condyloid.
What what are the components of the synovial joint? - CORRECT ANSWER Muscle, bone, bursa, articular
cartillage, synovial fluid, synovial membrane, joint capsule, synovial membrane, ligament and tendon.
What is the function of articular cartilage? - CORRECT ANSWER reduces friction and absorbes shock.
What is the function of Ligaments? - CORRECT ANSWER Connect bone to bone
What is the function of synovial membrane? - CORRECT ANSWER Secretes synovial fluid
What is the function of bursa? - CORRECT ANSWER Found in most major synovial joint which reduces
friction.
Flexion - CORRECT ANSWER Flexion means reducing the angle of the bones forming the Joint.
What is Plantarflexion and dorsiflexion? - CORRECT ANSWER Movement that occurs only at the ankle.
Plantarflextion is positioning toes down.
What is Abduction? - CORRECT ANSWER A sideways lateral movement way from the body
What is Adduction? - CORRECT ANSWER Bringing bone at the Joint closer to the midline.
