QuestionAnswer
The difference between Atheroscleoris and arteriosclerosis? ateriosclerosis occurs when the arteries harden and become thin, sometimes restricting blood flow to vital organs and tissues. Atherioscleroisis is a specific type of arterioscleroisis.
what does high amounts of LDL do? build up plaque on the inside of arteries
What can secondary hypertension be caused by ? pregnancy
a stroke occurs when? blood supply to the brain is interrupted
What does the national stroke foundation recommend as a test to assess symptoms ? FAST
Two signs likely to be displayed by someone suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? shortness of breath, ongoing cough
Two characteristics/ signs likely to be displayed by someone with asthma? bronchioles tighten and lining becomes swollen and inflamed. produce sticky mucus
how is chronic asthma different to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? asthma is an inflammation in the bronchioles and pulmonary disease contains and ongoing cough and the shortness of breath
Three barriers to cardiorespiratory health? low levels of physical activity, overweight and high blood pressure
what does bypass surgery involve? It involves taking a healthy blood vessel from else where in your body and connecting it below and above the blocked arteries in your heart.
bad types of cholesterol in food? processed foods, deep fried fast food, takeaway food
good types of cholesterol in food? eggs, cheese, full fat yoghurt
how does medications reduce the amounts of cholesterol built up in arteries? medicine blocks the substance the body needs to make cholesterol
what is metabolic syndrome? metabolic syndrome is a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure and high glucose
Superior Closer to the head than another part
Inferior Closer to the feet than another part
Anterior The front of the body
Posterior Towards the back of the body
Medial The imaginary midline of the body
Lateral Away from the imaginary midline of the body
Proximal Closer to the point of attachment
Distal away from the point of attachment
plantar sole of foot
Palmar palm of hand
superficial closer to the surface of the body than another
deep Away from the body surface; more internal
What are the 2 sections of the skeleton? axial and appendicular
What does the axial consist of? skull, spine and rib cage
What does the appendicular skeleton consist of? limbs, arms, legs and hands
Flexion Decreases the angle of a joint
Extension increases the angle of a joint
Abduction movement away from the midline
Adduction Movement toward the midline of the body
Rotation medial and lateral rotationCircumduction
Circumduction circular movement of a limb at the far end
pronation turning the palm downward
Supination movement that turns the palm up
plantar flexion bending of the sole of the foot by curling the toes toward the ground
Dorsiflexion bending of the foot or the toes upward
Inversion Turning the sole of the foot inward
Eversion turning the sole of the foot outward
Vertebral Column The spine - Is involved in more than 95% of movements - 33 bones (24 unfused, 9 fused)
Cervical vertebrae 7 unfused bones - Makes up the neck - Responsible for supporting the head - Atlas and axis allow your head to move around
Thoracic vertebrae 12 unfused bones - Connect the rib cage to the spinal column and form a protective shield for the heart and lungsLumbar vertebrae
Lumbar vertebrae 5 unfused bones
The sacrum 5 fused bones - Fuses the pelvis - Distributes weight of the upper body
The coccyx 4 fused vertebrae - Known as the 'tail bone' - Provides a site for muscle attachment to allow movement
Synovial joints Created where two bones articulate to permit a variety of motions
Pivot joint A uniaxial joint that only allows rotation - Atlas and axis
Gliding joint Occurs when flat bones glide past each other, usually in. a biaxail manner - carpals/tarsals
Ball and socket joint Occurs where a rounded bone head articulates with a cup-shaped cavity - shoulder, hipHinge joint
Hinge joint A uniaxial joint - knee, elbow
Saddle joint Occurs where concave and convex bone surfaces align; generally biaxial - joint of the thumb
Condyloid joint Very similar to a hinge joint but also allows a slight rotation; it is biaxial - wrist
skeletal muscle A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the force that moves the bones.
smooth muscle Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body
cardiac muscle Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart.
Muscle functions producing movement, maintaining posture, stabilizing joints, generating heat
muscle attachment the location on a bone where a muscle connects to the bone
Fibre arrangement - circular The fascicular pattern is circular with fibres arranged in concentric rings. Muscles with this arrangement surround external body openings, which they close by contracting.
fibre arrangment - convergent a convergent muscle as a broad origin, and its fascicles converge towards a single tendon of insertion.
fibre arrangment - parallel the length of the fascicles runs parallel to the long axis of the muscle. the muscles are either strap-like or spindle-shaped.
fibre arrangment - pennate the fibres are short and they attach obliquely to a central tendon that runs the length of the muscle. pennate muscles come in 3 forms:
unipenatte unipennate (the fascicles insert into only one side of the tendon)
bipennate bipennate (the fascicles insert into the tendon from opposite
multipennate multipennate (looks like many feathers side by side with all the quills inserted into one large tendon)
fusiform muscles thick in the middle and tapered at each end
microscopic structure of muscles the brain sends messages to the muscles to motor neurons. muscles contract and apply forces to bones via tendons that connect them. when muscle contracts, it pulls the bones close to each other.
