Proprioception
Ans>> The body's ability to to sense the relative position of adjacent parts of the body
Ex: when walking our feet give us proprioception about the type of surface we are on.
Mechanoreceptors
Ans>> specialized structures that recognize pressure in tissue and transmit signals to sensory
nerves.
Muscle Spindles
Ans>> sensory receptors in the muscles that are parallel to the muscle fibers and are sensitive to
change in muscle length. Spindles stretch with muscle and sends information to CNS.
helps to prevent muscles from stretching too far or too fast
1
,Golgi Tendon Organs
Ans>> sensory receptors that are located at the point where the skeletal muscle fibers insert into
the tendon. Sensitive to change in tension at the rate of change
causes the muscle to relax
Epimysium
Ans>> connective tissue UNDER fascia that acts as an outer layer of the whole muscle
Perimysium
Ans>> connective tissue acts as an outer layer of fascicles
Endomysium
Ans>> between the individual muscle fibers
Type 1 Muscle Fiber
Ans>> "slow-twitch", smaller in size, lessforce produced, long-term contractions (stabilization)
2
,Type 2 Muscle Fiber
Ans>> fast twitch, larger, quick to fatigue, force and power exercises
Agonist
Ans>> PRIME MOVER, main muscles
ex: chest press-> pectoralis major
Synergist
Ans>> ASSIST PRIME MOVER,
ex: chest press -> ant deltoid, triceps
Stabilizer
Ans>> stabilizes while prime mover and assist work.
chest press -> rotator cuff
Antagonist
3
, Ans>> Oppose Prime mover,
chest press -> posterior delt
Right Atrium
Ans>> gather DEOXGENATED blood returning to the heart from ENTIRE BODY
Left Atrium
Ans>> gathers OXYGENATED blood coming from the LUNGS
Right Ventricle
Ans>> thin walls pumps under low pressure. Pumps to lungs
Left Ventricle
Ans>> thick walls, pumps under high pressure to rest of body
Metabolism
