The following bones are found in the upper body, except?
Sternum
Femur
Humerus
Clavicle
Identify the bone found in the lower arm.
Scapula
Radius
There are 5 different types of bone categories.
Which type of bone is involved in gross movement of the body?
Flat
Irregular
Long
Short
Skeletal muscles are involuntary muscles.
Which type of bone is involved in the fine, delicate movements of the body?
Irregular bones provide a large surface area for the attachment of muscles.
These are all examples of flat bones, except?
Patella
Pelvis
The cranium is an example of a flat bone and its role is to protect the brain.
The red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow of the long bones.
The following bones are involved in protecting the delicate organs and tissues of the body, except?
Vertebral Column
Ribs
Muscles push on the bones to create movement.
There are four different types of joints found in the human body.
A joint is a connection point between two or more bones.
Which characteristic relates to a slightly moveable joint?
They are synovial joints
They are cartilaginous
They are fibrous
The cranium is a cartilaginous joint.
A ball and socket joint is found at the joint between the humerus and radius.
The thumb is an example of which type of joint?
Condyloid
Saddle
Pivot
Gliding
Which connective tissue attaches bone to bone?
Cartilage
Tendons
Ligaments
The role of tendons is to acts as a shock absorber and cushion the impact between bones when running and jumping during sporting activity.
The Cardiac muscle is a voluntary muscle.
The blood vessels are smooth muscles and are known as involuntary muscles.
Skeletal muscles are connected to the skeleton and are under our control.
Ligaments connect muscle to bone.
The pectorals, abdominals, biceps, quadriceps and sartorius are all anterior view muscles.
The quadricep is located at the back of the upper leg.
The triceps create the flexion of the arm.
The diaphragm is a smooth muscle.
The hamstrings contract to allow heel flicks to be created during the active stretch phase of a warm up.
The working muscle is known as the agonist muscle.
Muscles can only pull.
The origin of a muscle is where it is attached to the moving bone.
When a muscle contracts the insertion always moves towards the origin.
Flexion is increasing the angle of a joint.
Adductors create abduction, the movement of a limb away from the body.
Rotation is when the bone or limb moves freely in a curve.
Isometric contraction is when there is no actual movement of either the limb or the joint because the muscles are working to keep the joint stable.
Isotonic contraction is when muscles contract to create movement.
Articulation is a movable joint between inflexible parts of the body.
Static strength is the muscular strength used in one short, sharp movement. The combination of speed and strength.
A gymnast performing on the pommel horse would use this type of strength.
Explosive strength
Dynamic strength
Static strength
Maximum strength
A gymnast performing a handstand would use this type of strength.
