Why is anatomy essential to Kinesiology ANSW ✔✔ - Need to speak a
common language when describing structure and function of the human body
- Essential to exercise science and health care
Anatomy definition ANSW ✔✔ the science of the shape and structure of
organisms and their parts
Microscopic ANSW ✔✔ - cytology
- histology
Gross / macroscopic ANSW ✔✔ - systemic anatomy
- regional anatomy (surface anatomy)
- clinical anatomy
Organ systems of the body ANSW ✔✔ integumentary
digestive
respiratory
urinary
reproductive
endocrine
skeletal
articular
muscular
,nervous
circulatory (cardiovascular and lymphatic)
Integumentary system ANSW ✔✔ - Skin
- First layer of immune system
- acts to retard water loss and regulate body temperature
Respiratory system ANSW ✔✔ - oxygen passes from lungs into blood and
carbon dioxide leaves blood and enters air
Digestive system ANSW ✔✔ Breaks down and absorbs food for use by cells
and eliminates solid and wastes
Urinary system ANSW ✔✔ remove waste from the blood and assist in
maintaining the body's water and electrolyte balance
Endocrine system ANSW ✔✔ Regulates body activities through hormone
production and transport
Reproductive system ANSW ✔✔ Produces, stores, and transports
reproductive cells
Skeletal system ANSW ✔✔ - protection for vital organs
- attachments for muscles
produces blood cells
stores inorganic compounds
,Articular system ANSW ✔✔ - joints
- sites where movement occurs
Muscular system ANSW ✔✔ - produces movement
- maintains posture
- produces heat
nervous system ANSW ✔✔ - regulates body activities
- oversees coordination of all systems
- sensory functions
- motor functions
- glandular secretions
Circulatory System ANSW ✔✔ - distribute oxygen and nutrients via CV system
- carry CO2 and waste from cells and out of the body
- regulate temperature
Lymphatic system ANSW ✔✔ - return protein and plasma from interstitial
fluid to CV system
- protects against disease
Anatomical positions ANSW ✔✔ - standing up right arms at the side head feet
and palms facing forward
supine ANSW ✔✔ lying on your back
, prone ANSW ✔✔ lying on your front
plane ANSW ✔✔ a two dimensional surface defined by 3 points not on the
same line
Anatomical planes ANSW ✔✔ - sagittal plane
- frontal plane
- transverse plane
Sagittal plane ANSW ✔✔ - divides the body into right and left sections
- mid sagittal plan divides the body into equal right and left halves
Frontal plane ANSW ✔✔ - divides the body into front (anterior) and back
(posterior) sections
aka coronal plane
Transverse plane ANSW ✔✔ - divides the body into upper and lower sections
- aka horizontal plane
Axis ANSW ✔✔ a line passing perpendicularly through a plane
- motion occurs in a plane and about an axis
Anatomical Axes ANSW ✔✔ - perpendicular to anatomical planes
- anteroposterior axis
- mediolateral axis
- longitudinal axis
