    Study Notes

    Anatomy Review

    • Terminology
      • Anatomical Position: Standing upright, facing forward, arms at the sides, palms facing forward.
      • Body Planes:
    • Sagittal Plane: Divides body left and right (movements forward/backward).
    • Coronal (Frontal) Plane: Divides body front and back (movements side-to-side).
    • Transverse Plane: Divides body top and bottom (movements rotation/horizontal).
    • Positional Terms
      • Medial: Towards the midline of the body
      • Lateral: Away from the midline of the body
      • Proximal: Closer to the origin or center of body part
      • Distal: Further away from origin or center of body part
      • Anterior: Front of the body
      • Posterior: Back of the body
      • Superior: Upper or above
      • Inferior: Lower or below
    • Movement Terms
      • Flexion: Decreasing the angle between body parts.
      • Extension: Increasing the angle between body parts
      • Abduction: Moving a body part away from the midline
      • Adduction: Moving a body part towards the midline
      • Dorsiflexion: Top of the foot moves towards shin
      • Plantarflexion: Top of the foot moves away from shin
      • Circumduction: Rotation of a limb, with the proximal end remaining stationary

    Skeletal System

    • Skeletal system components
      • 23 bones
      • Skull (Cranium & Mandible), Clavicle (collarbone), Scapula (shoulder blade), Humerus (upper arm), Ribs, Sternum (breastbone), Sacrum, Coccyx (tailbone), Pelvis (or hip bone), Femur (thigh bone), Patella (kneecap), Tarsals, Tibia, Metatarsals, Phalanges (fingers/toes)
    • Major Joint types
      • Fixed: Suture Joints (skull)
      • Semi-movable (Cartilaginous): Public symphysis
      • Synovial: (Most numerous, versatile and freely moving)
    • Types of Synovial Joints
    • Hinge Joint (elbow): One bone fits into another to permit back-and-forth motion
    • Ball-and-Socket Joint (hip & shoulder): A spherical end of one bone fits into a cuplike cavity of another, permits widest range of motion
    • Pivot Joint (neck): A peg like projection of one bone turns in a ring-shaped socket on another bone, or conversely the ring turns around the peg; allows rotation
    • Condylar/Ellipsoidal Joint: An egg-shaped bone end nestles in an ellipsoidal cavity (wrist)
    • Saddle Joints: surfaces of both bones contain concave AND convex areas (thumb)
    • Gliding/Plane Joint: Almost flat surfaces that slide over another (bones in the wrist or ankle)

    Muscular System

    • Muscle Types
      • Skeletal Muscles: Voluntary, attached to bone, responsible for bodily movements.
      • Smooth Muscles: Involuntary, found in body parts like airways and blood vessels.
      • Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary, forms the heart walls, responsible for pumping action.
    • Energy
      • Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): Body's direct energy currency
      • Energy release: ATP splits off one phosphate, becoming ADP and phosphate. This releases energy for tasks
      • Energy recharge: ADP gains a phosphate to become ATP again, using energy from food.
    • ATP production -Aerobic: Long term, efficient but slow ATP production. -Anaerobic: Short term, rapid but less efficient ATP production.
    • Muscle Fibre Types
      • Type I (Slow-Twitch): Endurance activities, slow contraction speed, high fatigue resistance, rich in mitochondria (energy factories).
      • Type IIa (Fast-Twitch Oxidative): Combine endurance and power, moderate contraction speed, moderate fatigue resistance.
      • Type IIb/IIx (Fast-Twitch Glycolytic): Explosive movements, fastest contraction speed, low fatigue resistance.
