      • Appendicular skeleton (126 bones): upper and lower limbs, and girdles that attach these limbs to the axial skeleton

    Bone Types

    • There are five types of bones:
      • Long bones (e.g., femur, humerus)
      • Short bones (e.g., carpals, tarsals)
      • Flat bones (e.g., skull, sternum, scapula)
      • Irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae, facial bones, pelvic bones)

      • Skeletal muscle (striated, voluntary)
      • Smooth muscle (nonstriated, involuntary)
      • Cardiac muscle (striated, involuntary)

    Muscle Contraction

    • Types of muscle contraction:
      • Concentric (muscle shortens, leading to movement)
      • Eccentric (muscle lengthens, often assisted by gravity)
      • Isometric (muscle length remains constant, no movement)
    • Isotonic contractions:
      • Concentric isotonic contractions (muscle overcomes opposing force, shortens)
      • Eccentric isotonic contractions (muscle force is less than opposing force, lengthens)
    • Isokinetic contractions (constant amount of energy, tension and length change)

    Tendons

    • Tendons connect muscles to bones
    • Tendons allow for movement by transmitting force from muscles to bones

    Muscle Structure

    • Origin: muscle's point of attachment to the more stationary bone
    • Insertion: muscle's point of attachment to the movable bone
    • Muscle action: movement made at the joint when the muscle contracts### Respiratory System
    • The respiratory system includes the lungs and air passages that ventilate them
    • The process of respiration involves taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the body
    • The respiratory system is made up of:
      • Nose: filters, moistens, warms, and humidifies incoming air
      • Pharynx (throat): a common pathway for air, food, and liquid
      • Epiglottis: a flap that closes off the airway when swallowing
      • Larynx (voice box): used for sound production and speech
      • Trachea (windpipe): a tube that brings air down to the lungs
      • Bronchial tree: consists of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli
    • Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is removed

    Lung Function

    • Inspiration: the process of breathing in, where the diaphragm contracts and the chest cavity expands
    • Expiration: the process of breathing out, where the diaphragm relaxes and the chest cavity decreases
    • Lung function involves:
      • Taking in oxygen-rich air and removing carbon dioxide
      • Exchanging gases between the lungs and bloodstream
      • Regulating breathing rate and depth

    Exchange of Gases

    • The exchange of gases occurs between the lungs and bloodstream
    • Oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is removed through the process of respiration
    • The composition of inhaled and exhaled air is:
      • Inhaled air: 20.93% oxygen, 0.03% carbon dioxide, 79.04% nitrogen and other gases
      • Exhaled air: 16.4% oxygen, 4.1% carbon dioxide, 79.5% nitrogen and other gases

    Circulatory System

    • The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood
    • The components of blood are:
      • Erythrocytes (red blood cells): carry oxygen from the lungs to the body
      • Leukocytes (white blood cells): fight infection and provide immunity
      • Thrombocytes (platelets): help to fix cuts and wounds
      • Plasma: the liquid portion of the blood that carries water, proteins, and minerals
    • The main functions of blood are:
      • Transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells
      • Removal of carbon dioxide and waste products from the body's cells
      • Regulation of the body's temperature and fluid content

    Heart Structure and Function

    • The heart is a muscular pump that contracts rhythmically to provide the force for blood circulation
    • The heart has two sides, four chambers, and four valves
    • The chambers of the heart are:
      • Left atrium: receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
      • Right atrium: receives deoxygenated blood from the body
      • Left ventricle: pumps oxygenated blood to the body
      • Right ventricle: pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
    • The valves of the heart are:
      • Pulmonary valve: between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery
      • Tricuspid valve: between the right atrium and right ventricle
      • Mitral valve: between the left atrium and left ventricle
      • Aortic valve: between the left ventricle and aorta

    Blood Vessels

    • Arteries: carry blood away from the heart
    • Arterioles: small arteries that branch into capillaries
    • Capillaries: tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs
    • Veins: carry blood back to the heart
    • Venules: small veins that merge to form larger veins

    Blood Pressure

    • Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of blood vessels

    • Systolic pressure: the highest pressure recorded during contraction of the left ventricle

    • Diastolic pressure: the lowest pressure recorded during relaxation of the heart

    • Factors that affect blood pressure include:

      • Cardiac output: the amount of blood pumped by the heart

    • Cardiorespiratory endurance: healthy functioning of circulatory and respiratory systems, ability to exercise for a long period without fatigue
    • Muscular endurance: ability of muscles to perform an activity for a long period without fatigue
    • Muscular strength: amount of force produced by muscles in a single maximal effort
    • Flexibility: ability to move joints through a full range of motion
    • Body composition: amount of fat, bone, water, and muscle in the body
    • Power: ability to perform quickly an activity that requires strength
    • Speed: ability to perform a movement or cover a distance in a minimum amount of time
    • Agility: ability to change and control the direction of the body while moving quickly
    • Coordination: ability to use two or more parts of the body together to perform a task
    • Balance: ability to keep the body stable in a moving or stationary position
    • Reaction time: time it takes for the brain to receive information and send a message to the muscles to initiate movement

    Aerobic and Anaerobic Training

    • Aerobic training: develops cardiorespiratory endurance, uses aerobic energy system, focuses on enhancing the athlete's capacity to absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen
    • Anaerobic training: diverse, targets strength, power, speed, lactate removal, and muscular endurance, uses anaerobic energy systems (Lactic Acid and Alactacid energy systems)
    • FITT principle: Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
    • Frequency: train at least three times per week, with minimal benefits from sessions exceeding five times a week
    • Intensity: stress body systems to induce adaptations, measuring intensity by calculating target heart rate
    • Time: exercise sessions should last 20-30 minutes, with minimal adaptations occurring in less than six weeks
    • Type: continuous exercises using large muscle groups are most effective (e.g., running, cycling, swimming, aerobics)
