1. Embryonic directions ______ with the body - ANSWER
2. Embryonic directions are based on? - ANSWER
move
the axes of the embryo
3. Examples of embryonic directi...
5. Lordosis (define and name the plane) - ANSWER lordotic spinal curve
convex anteriorly and concave posteriorly in the sagittal plane
6. Kyphosis (define and name the plane) - ANSWER kyphotic spinal curve
convex posteriorly and concave anteriorly in the sagittal plane
,7. Scoliosis (define and name the plane) - ANSWER scoliotic left or right
specified as convex in the frontal plane
8. Roto scoliosis (define and name the plane) - ANSWER severe form of
scoliosis where the spine doesn't only curve but also has a strong degree of
rotation in the axial plane
9. Valgus - ANSWER distal segment angles away from the axis
11. Posture defined as? - ANSWER static stationary position of the body
12. Base of Support - ANSWER the area confined by the outermost points of
your contact patch (if standing on 2 feet includes the space between your feet)
13. Contact patch - ANSWER the portion of the body that is in contact with
the earths surface
14. Centre of Pressure - ANSWER point about which the pressures on all
points within the contact patch balance
- must be within BoS but outside contact patch
- moves with shifts in weight
15. Centre of Pressure vs Contact Patch - ANSWER Your weight (forces of
gravity on your body) id distributed across your contact patch
,- each point bears some weight
16. How to assess posture within each plane (5) - ANSWER location of CoG
Location of CoP within base of support
Symmetry/Asymmetry
Curves (normal greater/lesser than normal)
alignment of segments and angles between them
17. Sitting posture - ANSWER generally harmful to health
keep spines neutral
change position frequently
18. What is good posture? - ANSWER NONE - posture implies stasis which is
bad if we must stay still for a long period of time keep joints at or close to a
neutral position
19. Describing Human Movement - ANSWER our body does not move as a
single unit because it is made of segments which are attached to each other
20. Segment - ANSWER to cut - the whole body can be articulated into
multiple segments
articulation - ANSWER divide into parts - permits movement of the body
, Joint vs articulation - ANSWER Joint and articulation are not the same thing -
articulation permits movement while joining of segments constrains relative
movement
skeletal "joints" are "joined articulation"
Joins - ANSWER point of linkage (when 2 segments within a multi-segment
body are joined their relative motion is constrained)
What is an articular surface? - ANSWER the points of separation between
bones needed to allow easy movement (low friction)
2 types of cartilage? - ANSWER Hyaline Fibrocartilage
Hyaline Cartilage - ANSWER aka articular cartilage
found on the ends of bones
very smooth, slippery, resists compression
Fibrocartilage - ANSWER resists tension (being pulled)
found at the rims (menisci/labra) of articulation
coaptation - ANSWER the way in which surfaces constrain movement
(compression of opposite forces bumping into each other)
Joining structures - ANSWER the anatomic structures that join segments
(bones) and constrain their movements via tension
