Skeletal System Notes (Part 2) 9-19-13 1. Ribs are flat bone‚ meaning they provide protection w/o taking up a whole lot of space or being to stiff 2. Atlas (named after Greek god) first cervical vertebrae‚ has a weird shape to it. Atlas sits on top of Axis so it can pivot while supporting head. 3. Shoulder Girdle a. Scapula a.i.

Quadriplegia‚ also known as tetraplegia‚ is defined as complete or partial paralysis with loss of motor and/or sensory function in both the upper and lower extremities as well as the trunk as a result of an injury to the spinal cord.1 The spinal cord is a component of the central nervous system (CNS) along with the brain and runs within a protective‚ bony-structured vertebral column from the foramen magnum to approximately the second lumbar vertebra of an adult where the it becomes the conus medullaris

Static Contraction Weight Lifting Going to the gym‚ I notice people blindly bouncing from weight machine to machine until they do enough repetitions to make the target muscle group tired. Isn’t that the goal of working out? Tiring yourself out so your body grows more muscle? No‚ unfortunately that is not how it works. Working out with the purpose of gaining muscle and strength requires more than just getting “tired” and it must be more than just a habit. One of the best ways to train your body

left hip. The hamstring group and popliteus create flexion of the right knee while the quadriceps eccentrically extends the left knee. The plantarflexors cause plantarflexion at the right ankle and eccentrically plantarflex the left ankle. Lastly the middle and anterior deltoid and supraspinatus cause abduction of the left shoulder. This phase is defined as beginning with toe-off of the kicking limb and ends at maximum hip extension and knee flexion. (Brophy‚ et.al‚

CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

Kinesiology Introduction: The word comes from the Greek words kinesis (movement) and kinein (to move). Kinesiology‚ also known as human kinetics‚ is the scientific study of human movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological‚ mechanical‚ and psychological mechanisms. Applications of kinesiology to human health include: biomechanics and orthopedics‚ strength & conditioning‚ sport psychology‚ rehabilitation‚ such as physical and occupational therapy‚ as well as sport and exercise. Kinesiology is

the ACL checks for anterior translation of the tibia on the femur‚ however‚ it must be noted that the bundles of the ACL acts on different degrees in accomplishing this function. Studies have shown that AMB is most active during higher degrees of flexion where as PLB is taut in extension. In addition‚ ACL also provides rotary stability of the knee during medial and lateral rotation‚ varus/valgus angulation and combinations of the said movements. Figure . The cruciate ligaments of
