Front (Question)

What is the purpose of a flat bone?

Back (Answer)

To provide protection.

Front (Question)

What Is the purpose of short and long bones?

Back (Answer)

Short bone - allows fine movement Long bone - allows gross movement

Front (Question)

What is the purpose of irregular bones?

Back (Answer)

Synovial membrane Synovial fluid Cartilage

Front (Question)

What does a ligament in a joint do?

Back (Answer)

Stabilises a joint and absorbs shock.

Front (Question)

What is a ligament?

Back (Answer)

Connects bone to bone.

Front (Question)

What is a tendon?

Back (Answer)

Connects muscle to bone.

Front (Question)

What Is the bursae?

Back (Answer)

Providing a cushion between bones and tendons, and reduces friction.

#10

Front (Question)

What movement is possible at a hinge joint?

Back (Answer)

Flexion and extension.

#11

Front (Question)

What movement is available at a ball and socket joint?

Back (Answer)

Abduction, adduction Flexion, extension Rotation

#12

Front (Question)

What is plantarflexion?

Back (Answer)

Pointing toes away from the body.

#13

Front (Question)

What is dorsiflexion?

Back (Answer)

Pointing toes up towards the body.

#14

Front (Question)

What is an agonist?

Back (Answer)

The primary muscle mover which contracts.

#15

Front (Question)

What is an antagonist?

Back (Answer)

Muscle relaxes during movement

#16

Front (Question)

Name 2 isotonic contractions.

Back (Answer)

Concentric and eccentric

#17

Front (Question)

What is an isotonic contraction?

Back (Answer)

When muscles change in length as they contract.

#18

Front (Question)

What is the difference between concentric and eccentric?

Back (Answer)

Concentric is when the muscle shortens during contraction and eccentric is when the muscl lengthens during contraction.

#19

Front (Question)

What is an isometric contraction?

Back (Answer)

When muscles stay the same length during contraction.

#20

Front (Question)

What is tidal volume?

Back (Answer)

Normal amount of air inspired/expired.

#21

Front (Question)

What is expiratory reserve volume?

Back (Answer)

Amount of air forced out in after tidal volume.

#22

Front (Question)

What is inspiratory reserve volume?

Back (Answer)

Amount of air forced in after tidal volume.

#23

Front (Question)

What is residual volume?

Back (Answer)

The air left in the lungs prior to maximal expiration.

#24

Front (Question)

What is vital capacity?

Back (Answer)

Largest volume of air that can be forcibly expired/inspired
