Front Back
Pelvic Girdle:
Bones: illium, ishcium, pubis}=os coxa and also sacrum.Articulations: Sacroilliac, lumbosacral, abd pubic symphysis.Muscles: Rectus abdominus and Quadratus lumborum.
Hip Joint:
Bones: Femoral head and acetabulum(made up of the os coxa).Articulations: Ball-and-socket, and stabilizing characteristics include: acetabular labrum and iliofemoral ligament.muscles: psoas major, Gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, gluteus maximus, adductors, rectus femoris, hamstrings, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris, and sartorius.
Knee Joint:
Bones: Femoral condyles, Tibial condyles, and patella.Articulations:
Ankle:
Bones: Fibula, Tibia, Tarsals.Articulations: Tibia and Fibula(Hinge or true ankle, and also called talocrural. Intertarsal (gliding)Movements: plantar and dorsi flexion; inversion and eversion.
What is a lever and what is a fulcrum?
A lever is an elongated rigid object that rotates around a fixed point called the fulcrum.
How many types of classes of levers are found in the body?
Three classes.
First-class lever?
Fulcrum is in the middle between the effort and resistance. Seesaw is an example. example in the human body is the atlanto-occipital joint.
Second-class lever?
The resistance is between the fulcrum and the effort.Common example is lifting a wheelbarrow. Rare in the human body. One example is when you plantar flex your ankle so you are standing tiptoe.
Third-class lever?
The effort is between the resistance and the fulcrum. Like picking something up with a tweezer. In the body it is found at the elbow.
Define: DF, DL, Force, and Load.
DF is the effort arm.DL is the resistance arm.Load is the resistance.Force is the effort.
Equation:
DF*F=DL*L
Convert Kg to Newtons
N=mass*acceleration-where acceleration is 9.81m/s2
What is pennation?
Muscle fibers running diagonally, increases the number of muscle fibers in volume of muscle-> increases strength.
What are the three types of muscles?
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
What are the functions of skeletal muscles?
Movement, posture, stabilizing joints, and heat generation.
