Statistical Analysis
68% of all normally distributed data lies within this.
What is one standard deviation?
This structure provides protection for digestive, excretive and reproductive organs, blood cell formation in long bones, attachment of ligements and muscles allowing for large movements
What is the appendicular system?
This type of muscle is controlled involuntarily and is used to move substances around the body.
What is smooth muscle?
The name of a movement that occurs at a joint, decreases the angle of the joint and brings two boines closer together.
What is flexion?
The only kind of energy the brain can use.
What is glucose?
When the data is spread widely around the mean.
What is a large standard deviation?
An anatomical term which refers to a location further away from where the limb attaches to the body.
What is distal?
The outer layer of connective tissue or 'wrapping' that encapsulates a muscle.
What is epimysium?
A type of muscle contraction where the joint angle and muscle length change at a constant speed against a variable force.
What is an isokinetic muscle contraction?
The middle layer of the structure of the skin.
What is the dermis?
The ration of the standard deviation to the mean expressed and a percentage.
What is the coefficient of the mean?
This connective tissue assists in areas of friction and compression.
What is cartilage?
The longest muscle in the human body.
What is the sartorius?
This phenomenon is caused by:
structural muscle damage,
inflammatory reactions in the muscle,
overstretching
overtraining
What is delayed onset muscle soreness?
When exposed to sunlight, epidermal cells produce this.
What is vitamin D?
This statistical tool enables comparison between two data sets and explains whether there is statistical significance, effects caused by an intervention or simply by chance.
What is a t-test?
This kind of joint allows no movement and its primary function is protection.
What is a fibrous joint?
The attachment of a muscle via the tendon to a stationary bone.
What is the origin?
When muscles work in pairs, this is the name given to the muscle which relaxes.
What is an antagonist?
The section of the brain is responsible for visual sensory and association
What is the occipital lobe?
What is p<0.05?
This is a small fluid-filled sack found where two structures rub against each other.
What is a bursae?
The muscle which is deep to the gastrocnemius.
What is the soleus?
When the central nervous system sends a message to the agonist muscle (muscle causing movement) to contract, the tension in the antagonist muscle (muscle opposing movement) is inhibited by impulses from motor neurons, and thus must simultaneously relax.
What is reciprocal inhibition?
This part of the brain contains the control centres for the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
What is the brain stem?
