deep
structure that lies beneath others
28
superior
structure higher than others (towards the head)
29
inferior
strcuture lower than others (towards the feet)
30
flexion
increasing angle with frontal plane (bending elbow)
31
extension
decreasing angle with frontal angle (making arm straight)
32
abduction

34

moving forward along a surface (jutting chin forwards)
35
retraction

raising/lifting a structure (bringing shoulders up)
37
depression
lowering/dropping a structure (drop shoulders)
38
medial rotaton
inward movement around an axis (put hand on chest)
39
lateral rotation
outward movement aeound an axis (move arm away from body -from chest away)
40
pronation
turn hand backward or downwards
41
supination
turn hand forward or upward
42
opposition
bringing tips of fingers and thumb together as in picking something up
43
what is the connective tissue around each fibre called
endomysium
44
what is the connective tissuee around each bundle is called
the perimysium
45
the connective tissue around the muscle is called
epimysium
46
what are muscles
form the body flesh. functions are to produce movement, to maintain posture and to produce body heat
47
what are muscle fibres
long, thin multi nucleate cells
48
two main types of muscle fibre
type 1 (red fibres). type 2 (white fibres)
49
what are type 1 (red fibres)
slow twitch fibres which contract slowly but repeatedly over a long period of time. used for endurance activities. utilize energy system. eg. longs runs utilize the anaerobic (short fast high intensity exercise) energy system
50
what are the 6 muscle shapes
strap fusiform unipennatd bipennate multipennate
51
what are tendons
tough cord like structures of connective tissue which attach to bones
52
what are aponeuroses
flat sheets of connective tissue which attach muscles along the length of the bone
53
what is muscle tonewhat are
state of partial contraction or tension in the muscles even at rest
54
what is shift system
as different motor units are stimulated different muscle fibres contract alternatively to prevent fatigue
55
whatcare muscle spindles what is
relay information about the amount of stretch in the body
56
what are hypotonic muscles
lower tome muscle or flaccid
57
what are hypertonic muscles
higher tone than normal. fibres are over contracted amd rigid. they are called spastic muscles
58
what is energy
ability/capacity to perform work
59
how is energy provided
food
60
how is energy produced
food used to manufacture ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
61
what does muscles convert chemical energy into
mechanical energy
62
what are the three energy systems
alactic ATP PC system (anaerobic). lactic acid system (anaerobic glycolysis). aerobic (oxygen) system (aerobic glycolysis)
63
most rapid source of energy. uses ATP stored in muscles cells. muscle contracts and immediate energy is obtained from the ATP for 5-6 seconds. this system is used for short duration activities such as sprinting. amount of energy is limited due to stored sources of ATP and PC. no oxygen used so its anaerobic process
64
what is lactic acid system (anaerobic glycolysis)
when activity continues after all PC is broken down ATP is resynthesized from glycogen. carbohydrate (sugars and starch) converted to glycogen and stored in mucles cells and liver. oxygen not used. glycogen is borken down into pyruvic acid and then lactic acid. not very effective. produces lactic acid, the build up of which causes muscle fatigue. used in high intensity activites eg 400m run.
65
what is the aerobic system
requires continuous supply of oxygen. glycogen in broken down through a series of complicated reactions in the mitochondria in the cells. glycogen broken down into pyruvic acid. most effective system. provides energy for prolonged endurance activites without producing fatigueing products. main sources carbs and fats. eg jogging.
66
what is oxygen debt
the amount of oxygen that is taken in during recovery above what is normally consumed
67
what is oxygen needed for after exercising
oxygen needs to metabolize the lactic acid after amd replenish ATP, phosphocreatin and gylcogen. it is also required by the blood and lungs to restore the body systems to their normal state. increase in lactic acid and carbon dioxide in the blood stimulates the respiratory system and breathing becomes faster and deeper.
68
what is muscle fatigue
the inability of a muscle to continue contraction
69
what happens with muscle fatigueis delayed
it becomes weaker until it stops completely as their is not enough energy. during fast intense exercise believed to be caused by lactic acid build up. during slow, low intensity exercise caused by a depletion in glycogen and dehydration
70
what are the 2 types of muscle soreness
acute muscle soreness. delayed muscle soreness.
71
what is acute muscle soreness
during or immediately after exercise. due to insufficient blood supply to contracting muscles. increased tension in muscle stops blood flow and lactic acid and other waste products build up and stimulate pain receptors in the muscle. this pain stops quickly when exercise stops amd blood flow returns to normal.
72
what is delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
delayed for 24-48hrs. this damage may include minor tears of muscle fibres. damage to connective tissue components or damage to tendons and ligaments from over stretching.
73
how can you prevent muscle soreness
stretching warm muscles preparing them for activity and cooling them down afterwards can help prevent soreness
74
what are the 3 types of muscle contractions
isotonic contraction. isometric contraction. isokinetic contraction
75
what is isotonic contraction
equal tone. change in length throughout movement- shorter (concentric)/longer (eccentric).
76
what is isometric contraction
equal length. no change in the length of the muscle but increase in the tone. static work.
77
what is isokinetic contraction
the muscular contraction that accompanies ckmstant velocity limb movements around a joint
78
factors that affect flexibility
age training sex body temp strength training joint structure
