1What are the five sections of the sinal cord (in order)
Cervical, thoraic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx
2What is the definition for rotation
movement around a fixed joint
3What is the definition of circumduction
movement around a joint in a circular or cone shaped arc
involves flexion extension abduction and adduction
4What is the definition of: flexion and extension
Flexion: decreasing the angle at the joint
Extension: increasing the angle at the joint
5What is the definition of dorsi flexion
moving foot towards shin
6What is the definition of plantar extension
pointing foot down
7what is teh definition of abduction and adduction
Abduction: moving bidy part away from midline of body
Adduction: moving body part towards midline of body
8inversion?
moving sole of foot inwards
9eversion?
Moving sole of foot away from midline of body
10Supination and Pronation?
Supination: move palm of hands to face upwards
Pronation: move palm of hands to face downwards
11What is the difference between an agonist and a antagonist?
Agonist is the muscle that is primarily responsible for producing a movement
Antagonist is the muscle that opposes the agonist and prevents over stretching
12What is a synergist and a fixator muscle
Synergist: supports the joint where the prime mover originates from and also aids the movement taking place
Fixator: Stabilises the bone where the prime mover originates frm
13The shoulder joint (ball and socket) can produce what movements(describe what they look like at that joint and name the agonists and antagonists)
Flexion, (infront of body) anterior deltoid
Extension (behing the body) posterior deltoid
Abduction (away from midline fo body)medial deltoid
Addcution: (moving towards midline of body) pectoralis and latissimus dorsi
14Antagonistic pair for elbow flexion and extension
flexion biceps brachii
Extension triceps brachii
15Antagonistic pair for hip flexion and extension (what does it look like)
Flexion, when hip(upper leg) is infront of body, psoas major and quadricep group
Extension, when hip ( upper leg) is behind the body, glutes maximus and hamstring group
16What does trunk flexion/extension look like (what is the antagonistic pair)
Flexion, (upwards phase of a sit up) rectus abdominis
Extension, (when you look up and behind you) erector spinae
17What is horizontal flexion and extension
18What movements are produced atn the knee joint
Flexion, hamstring group
Extension, quadricep group
19What are the agonists for dorsi and plantar flexion
Dorsiflexion (move foot towards shin), tibialis anterior
Plantar flexion (pointing foot down), gastrocnemius and soleus
