Definition
Knee, jaw, wrist
Term
Glenohumeral joint
Definition
Joint of shoulder girdle

Where the humerus meets the scapula.
Ball and socket joint.
(Shoulder joint)

Movement in all planes
Term
Acromioclavicular joint
Definition
Joint of shoulder girdle

Where the scapula and clavicle join.

Gliding joint

Movement in frontal & saggital plane
Term
Sternoclavicular joint
Definition
Joint of shoulder girdle

Where the clavicle joins the sternum.

Saddle joint formed by the medial end of the clavicle and the lateral edge of the manubrium.

Movement in the frontal and saggital planes.
Term
What is the greater trochanter?
Definition
A bony pertuberance in the uppermost point of the femoral neck
Term
Vertebral body
Definition
Largest part of the vertebrae

Cyllindrical shape and rim provide a bed and attachment for fibrocartilage of intervertebral disc
Term
Vertebral arch
Definition
All bones that stick in to back.
Term
Vertebral foramen
Definition
The canal through which the spinal cord travels
Term
Pedicles
Definition
Two small posterior processes that connect the arch to the body.

Pedicle means small foot
Term
Transvere process
Definition
Attachment site for muscles and ligaments to the spinal column

Allow/limit mobility in spinal rotation, lateral flexion, and extension

Most vertebrae have two
Term
Spinous process
Definition
Posterior process of the vertebra

Attachment site for muscles and ligaments
Term
Articular process
Definition
Four per vertebra: 2 superior, 2 inferior that will fit with adjacent vertebrae

Strengthen the structure of the spinal arch.
Term
Facets
Definition
The bony knobs that meet between two vertebrae
Term
Facet joints
Definition
Two facet joints between each pair of vertebrae, one on each side left/right

Synovial joint
Term
Synovial joint structure
Definition
Joint capsule
Synovial membrane
Synovial cavity
Synovial fluid
Articulating bones

Ligaments, bursa, tendons are outside the capsule.
Term
What is synovial fluid?
Definition
Non- newtonian fluid that nourishes and lubricates the articulating bones during movement.
Term
What are articulating bones?
Definition
Two or more bones that meet to form a joint
Term
What does the synovial membrane do?
Definition
It lines the joint capsule, contains synovial fluid and the articulating bones
Term
Articular cartilage
Definition
Slick cartilage covering the ends of the articulating bones to protect the bones to allow for greater ease of movement.
Term
Ligament
Definition
Connects bone to bone. Primary function is joint stability.

Knee
Term
Tendon
Definition
Connects muscle to bone

Knee
Shoulder
Term
Fascia
Definition
Sheets of connective tissue that wrap around individual muscle fibers. Needs to be moved to maintaim hydration.
Term
Cartilage
Definition
Flexible connective tissue found in many areas and provides cushioning to articulating bones.
Rib cage
Ear
Bronchial tubes
Term
Origin
Definition
The fixed place where a muscle attaches to a bone.
Term
Insertion
Definition
The end-point attachment of a muscle to a bone.
Term
Contraction
Definition
Draws the origin and the insertion closer together.
Term
Isometic contraction
Definition
A contraction without movement

Holding plank
Term
Isotonic contraction
Definition
A contraction that creates or controls movement - concentric & eccentric
Term
Concentric contraction
Definition
The contracting muscle shorten

Pick up a glass to drink the bicep comes in to concentric contraction.
Term
Eccentric contraction
Definition
The contracting muscle lengthens

When you lower the glass down in a controlled manner, the bicep is in eccentric contraction
Term
Agonist
Definition
The muscle that is contracting. The doer. The muscle responsible for an action
Term
Antagonist
Definition
Un-doer

The muscle on the opposite side of a joint to the agonist. Releases when the agonist engages.
Term
Synergist
Definition
Stabilizer or fixator

Muscles that partner with the agonist by helping complete the intended action OR stabilizing the joint to prevent unwanted movement elsewhere.
Term
List 3 examples of agonist and antagonist pairs
Definition
bicep / tricep
quad / hamstring
internal / external obliques
Term
Muscles do one thing
Definition
Contract
Term
Describe what is happening in a muscle when we stretch it
Definition
The muscle is lengthening and can be caused by an outside force such as gravity or the pull of another muscle.

The distance between the attachment points if the muscle in such a way that they move apart from each other.

Stretch is interchangeable with lenghten.
Term
Reflex
Definition
An involuntary action
Term
Proprioception
Definition
The awareness of your body in space
Term
Muscle spindle
Definition
Small sensory organs found throughout the body of a muscle in parallel with muscle fibers
Term
Golgi tendon organ
Definition
Sensory organs loceated in the tendons that attach muscle to bone
Term
Stretch reflex also known as
Definition
An over-lengthening in a muscle that will cause the muscle to contract and it's antagonist muscle to lengthen saving the muscle in danger from harm.
Term
Golgi body reflex
Definition
Over-contraction of a muscle will activate a reflex that causes its antagonist to contract and thereby release he aginist saving it from tearing a tendon.
