from one location to another
• Primary use: Feet for
support (can use other
body parts)

Study Notes
Human Movement
- Study of how and why humans move.
- Explores factors that limit and enhance our ability to move.
Body Parts and Actions
- Actions occurring in body parts without traveling.
- Actions involving body and object interaction.
- Body travels through space from one location to another.
- Primary use of feet for support, but other body parts can be used.
Nervous System
- Senses stimuli and delivers reactions throughout the body.
- Network of nerves extending throughout the head, neck, and body.
- Carries messages to and from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Muscular System
- Provides locomotion, gives form to the body, and produces body heat.
- Makes movement possible through muscle contraction.
Skeletal System
- Assists muscles in specific movements.
- Provides structure and support.
- Includes:
- Bones
- Cartilages
- Joints
Types of Joints
- Bone to Bone: Connects bones for stability.
- Soft Bones: Connects bones with cartilage for flexibility.
- Muscle to Bone: Connects muscles to bones allowing for movement.
- Joints: Where two or more bones meet and allow movement.
Circulatory & Digestive Systems
- Both systems are responsible for nourishing the body.
