Card preview (13)

#1
Front (Question)

Outline fixed/fibrous joints

Back (Answer)

Very stable & allow no observable movement Bones often joined by strong fibres called sutures

#2
Front (Question)

Outline cartilaginous/slightly moveable joints

Back (Answer)

Joined by tough, fibrous cartilage usually provides shock absorption

#3
Front (Question)

Outline synovial/freely moveable joints

Back (Answer)

Joint enclosed in fibrous joint capsule lined with synovial membrane When bones contact each other they’re lined with smooth yet hard-wearing hyaline/articular cartilage

#4
Front (Question)

Outline hinge joints

Back (Answer)

Uniaxial joint allowing movement in 1 plane - strong ligaments prevent sideways movement Flexion & extension Elbow & Knee

#5
Front (Question)

Outline pivot joints

Back (Answer)

Uniaxial - only allows rotation Rotation Neck

#6
Front (Question)

Outline condyloid/ellipsoid joints

Back (Answer)

Biaxial - allowing movement in 2 planes Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction Wrist

#7
Front (Question)

Outline gliding joints

Back (Answer)

Formed where flat surfaces glide past one another Mainly biaxial but may permit movement in all directions Foot & carpal bones in wrist

#8
Front (Question)

Outline saddle joints

Back (Answer)

Biaxial & occurs where concave & convex surfaces meet Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction Thumb

#9
Front (Question)

Outline ball & socket joints

Back (Answer)

Allows widest range of movement & occurs where rounded head of bone fits into cup-shaped cavity ALL Hip & shoulder

#10
Front (Question)

Outline the difference between response & adaption

Back (Answer)

Response = immediate/short term Adaption = long term

#11
Front (Question)

Outline the short term effects of training on the skeletal system

Back (Answer)

-Increased synovial fluid production - lubricates & mobilises joints, reducing risk of damage to cartilage, bones & ligaments -Synovial fluid produced reduces impact of exercise on joint & increases ROM -Body temperature increases - muscles & connective tissues warmer - stretch further & increase in blood flow -Encourages formation of new bones to form - high impact activities cause bones slight damage. Osteoblasts travel from bone marrow to surface of bone to create lining, converting to osteocytes embedding into bone & calcify

#12
Front (Question)

Outline some positive effects (adaptations) of long-term exercise

Back (Answer)

Improved bone density (criss-cross matrix) Reduced risk of osteoporosis Increased tensile strength of ligaments to joints associated Protects against stress fractures, sprains & dislocations in young athletes Increased muscle tone, improves posture

#13
Front (Question)

Outline some negative effects (adaptations) of long-term exercise

Back (Answer)

Repetitive physical activity can cause stress fractures Performing activities with poor technique may cause issues with joint pain Young athletes could develop shin splints/Osgood Schlatter’s disease, preventing them from participating in physical activity Tendinitis from continuous training at young age
