Move and Position Individuals’ in accordance with their Plan of Care.
1 Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals.
1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals. A skeleton is a complex structure of bones. They work together with muscles, tendons and ligaments. All these components support the body and enable a large range of movements. The main body is supported by the spine which is made up of small bones stacked one on top of the other and separated by cushions known as inter-vertebral discs. These discs stop the bones from rubbing against each other and also act as shock absorbers. The skeleton forms the frame work of our body, it controls the way you move, and it supports your body and protect the spinal cord. Muscles in your body are used to move the bones of our skeleton. All muscles is attached to a bone at one end and to a different bone at the other end by a flexible chains called tendons, the muscles move the bone of our skeleton so that we can bend our joints. Muscles works in pair one pull on the bone it is attached to by contracting, at the same time its partner relaxes. Where the bones meet e.g. your elbow is called a joint. Different joint allows different movement. You can move your upper arm in a variety way because it is connected to your shoulder by a ball and socket. Your knee can only bend in one direction because of the leg bones meet at a hinge joint which only allow
