  • Skeletal Systems Summary:
    • Synovial Joints
      • ligaments, articular cartilage and synovial fluid
        • Helps with stability and friction-free movement
      • Synovial joints have three planes of movement...
        • Movement Planes
          • Saggital- Left and right
            • Flexion and extension
          • Frontal- anterior and posterior
            • Abduction and adduction
          • Transverse- superior and inferior
            • horizontal flexion, horizontal extension and rotation
    • Movement Planes
      • Saggital- Left and right
        • Flexion and extension
      • Frontal- anterior and posterior
        • Abduction and adduction
      • Transverse- superior and inferior
        • horizontal flexion, horizontal extension and rotation
    • Agonistic Muscle Groups
      • Agonist- create movement
      • Antagonist- co-ordinate movement
        • All con produce isotonic concentric/ eccentric or isometric movement
          • Agonist- create movement
          • Fixator- stabilize one part whilst another moves
          • Concentric- shortens, tension, two bones closer
          • Eccentric- lengthens, tension, resists force of gravity
          • Isometric- contracts but does not change length
      • Fixator- stabilize one part whilst another moves
    • Movement Analysis
      • Identify...
        • Joint type
        • Articulating Bones
        • Plane and pattern of movement
        • Antagonistic muscle action
        • Contraction type
    • Motor Unit
      • Made up of motor neuron and the muscle fibres
      • Action potential travels down the motor neuron and into muscle fibres
      • Creates contraction aided by a neurotransmitter
    • Muscle Fibres
      • Slow oxidative- many mitochondria, myoglobin and capilaries, resists fatigue well
        • Marathon runners
      • Fast oxidative glycolytic- high force and speed, resist fatigue for short time
        • 800m
      • Fast glycolytic- rapid force and speed, fatigue quickly
        • 100m
