Study Notes
Skeletal System
- The bones located in the chest region are the ribs and sternum.
- Short bones enable finer controlled movements.
- The skeletal system provides a point of attachment for muscles in the human body.
Joints and Movement
- The type of joint that enables circumduction movement is a ball-and-socket joint.
- The elbow is a hinge joint.
- The shoulder joint type is a ball-and-socket joint that enables abduction movement.
- The amount of movement in the skeletal system is determined by the structure of the joint.
- Concentric contractions occur when the muscle shortens, whereas eccentric contractions occur when the muscle lengthens.
Synovial Joints
- The structure that helps to prevent injury in synovial joints is the articular cartilage.
- The synovial fluid in a synovial joint reduces friction between moving bones and provides nutrition to the bones.
- The articular disc or meniscus helps to reduce friction between moving bones in a synovial joint.
Muscles
- The gastrocnemius muscle is responsible for plantar flexion at the ankle.
- The hamstrings muscle group is primarily responsible for flexion at the knee joint.
Respiratory System
- The trachea is part of the pathway of air into the lungs.
Hip Joint
- The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint.
Framework
- In conjunction with the muscular system, the skeletal system provides a framework for movement and support.
