functioning in the areas of conceptual and perceptual skill, language learning as well as many other brain development functions

  1. Emotional health: Includes self-esteem, self-awareness, self- acceptance, self-image and our capacities to deal with adversity and stress. This includes our ability to intimate, not just sexual, with a significant other.
  2. Spiritual health: This is focused on the connection of ourselves with a higher power, a sense of purpose, self-actualization, and an inner Joy. It is often described as self-acceptance, repentance for misdeeds, a willingness to give to and forgive others and a desire to seek peace with the community and World overall

connec- tive tissue that connects muscles to bones

  1. What are the two points of muscle: Origin and insertion
  2. Define muscle origin: The origin is considered the point at which the muscle joins the stationary bone at the end closest to the center of the body
  3. Define muscle insertion: Insertion is the point at which the muscle joints moving boat. When a muscle contracts the insertion moves toward the origin
  4. How many muscles are in the average adult body: 656 muscles
  5. Muscles are joined together to form muscle groups to execute bodily move- ment. They can get shorter and pull but they cannot push. True or false?: True
  6. In muscle groups, when one group pulls the other group pulls back and as one team pulls the other team relaxes. True or false?: True
  7. What are the three muscle types?: Skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles
  8. What are the two subtypes of muscles?: Involuntary and voluntary 32. How many muscles are voluntary and how many bones do they control?- : 430 of our muscles are voluntary controlling 206 bones
  1. Which type of muscles are voluntary?: Skeletal muscles
  2. Which type of muscles are involuntary?: Smooth and cardiac which include the cardio vascular tissue comma heart and blood vessels, and the lining of the intestinal and respiratory tracts
  3. What internal system supplies muscles with the necessary oxygen and nutrients to survive ?: The cardiorespiratory system
  4. How many bones are in the adult body?: 206. We are born with 350
  5. What are the five major functions of the skeleton?: Protect vital internal organs; Sports our bodies framework, giving us an upright vertical shape; produces red and white blood cells in the bone marrow; stores minerals and fats; regulates mineral balance, releases minerals into the blood as needed
  6. What is the largest bone in the body?: The femur, located in the top half of the leg it allows us to walk
  7. What are the rounded nodules, or outgrowths, on bones that generally act as sites for muscle insertions?: Tubercles; for example, the tibial tuberosity creates an attachment point for the patellar ligament
  8. What is a joint?: A joint is the location at which two or more bones come together for movement and mechanical support
  1. Blood travels from the right side of the heart along pulmonary arteries to the lungs, where it received fresh supplies of oxygen and becomes bright red period it then flows along pulmonary veins to the heart's left side pump. Blood then leaves the left side of the heart and travels to the rest of the body through arteries, going away from the heart, that gradually divide into capillaries.: This is the circulatory system 51. In relation to the heart, blood travels in which direction through arteries?- : Away from the heart 52. In relation to the heart, blood travels in which direction through veins?: - Toward the heart
  2. What occurs in the capillaries?: Food and oxygen are released to the body's cells, and carbon dioxide and other waste products are returned to the bloodstream. After which the blood travels through veins back to the heart and whole process starts again
  3. When we breathe the body takes in oxygen and removes what?: Carbon dioxide
  4. What is the technical term for the windpipe and what purpose does it serve: Trachea, allows passage of air into the lungs
  1. What is the name for the tubes that carry air into each lung: Bronchi
  2. Bronchi divide into even smaller tubes called what: Bronchioles
  3. What is the name for the small air sacs located at the end of each bronchi- ole and which I wrapped up by the capillaries: Alveoli
  4. What is the respiratory system: The body system that deals with breathing
  5. Our breathing process is controlled by which muscle: The diaphragm which is located in the Torso underneath the lungs
  6. Is the diaphragm contracts does it expand or flatten: It flattens, causing the chest to expand and air to be sucked into the lungs
  7. What test can you perform dtermine an individuals maximum oxygen intake in one breath: VO2 max
  8. Which part of the nervous system is responsible for sending and receiving information to and from the entire body and consists of the brain and spinal cord: The central nervous system which is the processing hub
  9. Which nervous system consists of nerves that attach to the CNS to the body's organs and extremities and acts as a messenger between the brain and the rest of the body: The peripheral nervous system
  10. What is the sublevel of the pns: Autonomic nervous system which

meal arrives in the small intestine bile flows from the gallbladder along the bile duct into the intestine. This vile acts especially to further digest fatty foods

  1. Small intestine: This is where most of the absorption of nutrients occur. Nutri- ents are small enough to pass through the lining of the small intestine and into the blood. These nutrients are then carried away to the liver and other parts of the body to be processed stored and distributed
  2. Liver: Blood from the intestines flows to the liver, carrying nutrients comma vitamins and minerals, and other products from digestion. The liver stores some nutrients, changes them from one form to another, and then releases them into the blood according to the activities and bodily needs
  3. Large intestine: Useful substances in The Leftovers, such as spare water and minerals, are absorbed through the walls of the large intestine and back into the bloodstream. The remains are formed into semi solid waste product, feces, to be removed from the body
  4. Rectum and Anus: The end of the large intestine comma the rectum, stores the feces which are squeezed through a ring of muscle, the anus,

and out of the body

  1. List some of the body's defense mechanisms from bad germs: The skin, the linings of the respiratory and digestive passageways, the blood- clotting process, the white cells and other substances in the blood, the thymus gland in the chest, and a small lymph nodes or glands are located throughout the body
  2. What is the job of the white blood cells in regards to the body's immune system: White cells attack any germs that are present in the body.
  3. Where are white cells located as far as our immune system: Lymph nodes, thymus gland, spleen, tonsils and adenoids
  4. Lymph nodes: Act as filters or germ traps. They contain billions of white blood cells which multiply rapidly to fight off invading pathogens
  5. Thymus gland: Located in front of the heart and behind the sternum. It produces and educates to cell. T cells are orchestrated in the thymus for the purpose of attacking foreign substances and responding to infected cells. The thymus is larger and most active during childhood and puberty
  6. Spleen: Located just behind the stomach on the left side. It makes
  1. Endocrine system: Similar to the nervous system, but it's made up of glands that mainly use hormones as information channels. Endocrine glands secrete hor- mones directly into the bloodstream
  2. Glands: Located in many regions of the body release chemical Messengers called hormones into the bloodstream. Hormones transport signals from one cell to another, for the purpose of generating a specific response, regulating the varied functions of an organism, such as, mood, sleep, growth, development, and metab- olism
  3. Homeostasis: The regulating and stabilizing of the body's internal properties.
  4. Pituitary gland: It's at the junction where the nervous system and the endocrine system come together at the hypothalamus. The gland is attached to the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain and secretes hormones that affect and control functions like skeletal growth, development of sex glands, blood pressure and pain relief, and the stimulating functions of other endocrine glands
  5. Thyroid gland: Controls how quickly the body uses energy and regulates me- tabolism
  6. Adrenal gland: Synthesizes and releases hormones in response to

stress, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline

  1. Pineal gland: Produces the hormone melatonin which stimulates and affects our sleep and daily rhythmic patterns
  2. Exocrine glands: Such as salivary glands, sweat glands glands within the gastrointestinal tract excrete their product to an external environment by way of ducts
  3. Anterior: Front of the body
  4. Posterior: Back of the body
  5. Superior: Upper part of the body
  6. Inferior: Lower part of the body
  7. Proximal: Closest to the point of origin from the center of the body
  8. Lateral: Away from the middle of the body
  9. Distal: Furthest from the point of origin from the center of the body
  10. Medial: Towards the middle of the body
  11. Bilateral: Both sides of the body
  12. Unilateral: One side of the body
  13. Deep muscle: Toward the inner body
  14. Superficial: Toward the outer surface
  15. Peripheral: Toward the extremities

the center / midline of the body. External rotation is the movement of the body part turning outward away from the center / midline of the body

  1. Protraction: Anterior movement of a body part
  2. Retraction: Posterior movement of a body part
  3. Hypo extension: Extensions that is less than normal, under extended
  4. Hyperextension: Extension Beyond normal limits, overextended
  5. Gliding: Movement of non angular joints over each other
  6. Deviation: Departure from the midline
  7. What are the six movements specific to hands / palms and feet: Pronation, supination, inversion, erosion, dorsiflexion, plantar plantarflexion
  8. Pronation: Palm of hand turning downward into a posterior position when arm is down at side. The inward roll of the foot / arch decreased during normal walking motion
  9. Supination: Palm of hand turning upward into an anterior position when arm is down inside. The outward roll of the foot, underpronation / arch heightened during normal walking motion
  1. Inversion: Turning both feet inward so the soles face each other
  2. Eversion: Turning both feet outward so these soles face away from each other
  3. Dorsiflexion: Ankle pointing foot up towards the shin
  4. Plantarflexion: Ankle pointing foot downward
  5. What are the four main types of muscle contraction: Isometric, isokinetic, isotonic concentric and isotonic eccentric
  6. What is the purpose of muscle contraction: They allow for the given muscle to perform work and move within its range of motion
  7. Range of motion: The degree of freedom for which a joint can move through
  8. Isometric contraction: The load on the muscle is greater than the generated tension, results in no movement taking place
  9. Isokinetic contraction: The muscle contracts and shortens at a constant rate of speed, allows the muscle to gain strength evenly all through the entire range of motion. This is the quickest method for increasing muscle strength but requires equipment that increases the load as it senses the contractions speeding up

136. What is The Eccentric contraction in a squat chest press and lat pull: - Squat- lowering down Chest press- pushing the bar up Lat pull- letting the bar go back up

  1. What are the four planes of motion: Sagittal, frontal, transverse, parasagittal
  2. What is the sagittal plane of motion and what exercises take place here: - This divides the left and right side. The motions include flexion and extension such a squat, lunge, walking, running, arm curls 139. What is the frontal plane of motion and what exercises take place here- : This divides the anterior from the posterior. The motions include abduction and adduction for example lateral raise, pull downs, side bends, military press homicide squats, jumping jacks , skater lunge
  3. What is the transverse plane of motion and what exercises take place here: Divides the inferior from the superior parts of the body. Motions include internal rotation and external rotation including rotation

at the waist for example swinging a golf club or baseball bat

  1. Oblique: Describe the diagonal movement, or a hybrid / combination of two planes.
  2. Internal rotation: Also medial rotation, occurs when it rotates inward. During a military or shoulder press, you would be internally rotating the scapula
  3. External rotation: Occurs when the anterior aspect rotates outward. During a lat pull the scapula are being externally rotated
  4. Pronation and supination: Occur at the elbow to rotate the wrist or the ankle to rotate the foot. Pronation is turning the palm from the anatomical position to face backward. Turning the Palm forward is supination.
  5. Protraction and retraction: Projection is movement anteriorly in the trans- verse plane. During a seated row as the person pulls the handle back towards the thorax they are retracting their scapula
  6. Gliding: Is the motion in any direction of two articulating surfaces sliding past one another. This occurs in the carpal bones of the hands and tarsal bones of the feet and also between the clavicle and sternum
