  • Skeletal System
    • Types of Joints
      • synovial
      • cartilaginous
      • fibrous
    • Bone Disorders
      • Acute Injuries
        • ligament damage
      • Growth Plate Injuries
        • weak parts of bone heads / overuse injury
          • caused by'; high impact, contact or repetitive sports
      • Osteroarthritus
        • gradual breakdown / loss of cartilage at joints
          • caused by; repetitive movements or obesity
      • Osteoporosis
        • low bone density leading to frequent bone fractures
    • Types of Movement
      • flexion / extension
      • lateral / medial rotation
      • abduction / adduction
      • circumduction
      • pronation / supination
      • dorsiflexion / plantar flexion
      • horizontal flexion / extension
    • Functions of the Skeleton
      • movement
      • protection of internal organs
      • production of RBCs
      • shape and support
      • mineral store
    • Effects of a Warm Up
      • produces synovial fluid to lubricate joints
      • warms up connective tissues to loosen joints
    • Effects of Exercise
      • increased bone density
      • increased range of movement
      • increased synovial fluid production
      • stronger ligaments and tendons
