cerebral cortex - ANSWER part of brain that controls skeletal muscles
musculoskeletal system - ANSWER consists of bones, joints, muscles, and tendons
muscles - ANSWER function by pulling against bones that rotate about joints and
transmit force to the enviornment
muscles - ANSWER can only pull
positvely affect adult skeleton - ANSWER body subjected to heavy loads, explosive
movements, loaded axial skeleton
heavy loads - ANSWER lifting these increases bone density and bone mineral
content
explosive - ANSWER movement type for increasing bone density and bone mineral
content
bone - ANSWER adaptation of this takes longer than muscle
206 - ANSWER number of bones in body
bones - ANSWER provides leverage, support, and protection
axial skeleton - ANSWER consists of the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
Appendicular skeleton - ANSWER includes shoulder girdle, bones of the arm, wrist,
and hands, the pelvic girdle, and the bones of the legs ankles, and feet
joints - ANSWER junctions of bones
fibrous joints - ANSWER ex. sutures of the skull, virtually no movement
cartilagenious joints - ANSWER ex. intervertebral disks, allow limited movement
synovial joints - ANSWER ex. elbow and knee, allow considerable movement
synovial joints - ANSWER joints of exercise and sport movements
synovial joints - ANSWER most important characteristics of this type of joint include
low friction and large ROM
hyaline cartilage - ANSWER covers articulating bone ends
synovial fluid - ANSWER fluid in the capsule that surrounds joints
uniaxial joints - ANSWER ex. elbow, 1 axis of movement, hinge
biaxial joints - ANSWER ex. ankle, wrist, 2 axises of movement
, .
multiaxial joints - ANSWER ex. shoulder 3 axises of movement
cervical - ANSWER 7 vertebrae
thoracic - ANSWER 12 vertebrae
lumbar - ANSWER 5 vertebrae lower back
sacral - ANSWER 5 vertebrae fused at pelvis
coccygeal - ANSWER 3 to 5 vertebrae
joints - ANSWER connection point of two bones
ligament - ANSWER connection point muscle to bones
muscle - ANSWER organ that contains muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerves,
and blood vessels
epimysium - ANSWER type of fibrous connective tissue that covers the outside of
skeletal muscles, contiguous with tendons at the ends of the muscle
tendon - ANSWER attached to bone periosteum
bone periosteum - ANSWER specialized connective tissue covering all bones
proximal - ANSWER closer to the trunk
distal - ANSWER further from the trunk
superior - ANSWER closer to the head
inferior - ANSWER closer to the feet
nuclei - ANSWER muscle fibers have many of these that are striated
perimysium - ANSWER layer of connective tissue that surronds fasciculus
fasiculcus - ANSWER group of fibers
endomysium - ANSWER surrounds individual muscle fibers
fasciculi - ANSWER bundles of fibers underneath the epimysium can contain 150
fibers
perimysium - ANSWER surrounds the fasciculi bundles
endomysium - ANSWER surrounds individual muscle fibers
