Terms of Movement
What are the 6 movements of the spine? Doesn’t have to be technical terms.
What is flexion, extension, lateral flexion R+L, and rotation R+L?
What sensory receptor category senses internal environment?
What is interoreceptors?
What is the difference between fascia and connective tissue?
fascia is a sub category of connective tissue that is sheet like
Connective tissue is a broad category encompassing bone, cartilage, blood, lymph, and fascia
What is tightness?
Tightness is sensation, not measurable or correlated with ROM or dysfunction
What type of tissue is bone?
What is connective tissue?
What is the main movement in the shoulder joint when you reach for something high?
What is flexion?
Deep diaphragmatic breaths activates which branch of the NS?
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
Fascia is made of these three things
What is fibers, gels, and cells?
Fibers- collagen, elastin, reticular
Gels- fluid part of ECM
Cells- fasciacytes, fibroblasts
Name 3 areas of your body affected by shallow breath
What is your neck, shoulders, ribs, psoas, abdominal muscles, organs, back, etc.?
How many vertebrae are in your thoracic spine?
What is 12?
What 3 movements are present at the hip joint in a seated butterfly position?
What is flexion, lateral rotation, and abduction?
This runs through your face, throat, and diaphragm and is particularly responsible for parasympathetic NS response
What is the vagus nerve?
Explain how fascia has a different form throughout the body, and why
Form follows function, fascia is more irregular in areas that need to move a lot of ways, regular in areas where force is distributed linearly, loose fascia allows movement, dense is for stability
How does your diaphragm create your inhale?
What is it draws down, increasing the volume of your thoracic cavity?
In a standing forward fold, your spine is under what stress?
What is tensile stress?
What 6 movements are possible at the shoulder joint?
What is flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, medial rotation, and lateral rotation? (Circumduction encompasses them all)
What reflex prevents you from going too far, too quickly into a stretch?
What is the Stretch Reflex?
This property describes fascia's ability to stretch and recoil, and is why connective tissue creeps
What is viscoelasticity?
Name 3 load parameters that affect how much load your tissues take on
Frequency, Duration, External/Internal Force(Magnitude), Velocity, Acceleration, Direction
Is your body a compression or a tension structure? Explain.
What is both? - bones are suspended in tensile connective tissue like a tensegrity model
Elevation happens on which plane of movement?
What is the frontal plane?
List all the branches/categories of the nervous system
Central
Peripheral - Autonomic - Parasympathetic + Sympathetic
Somatic - Afferent + Efferent nerves
Explain creep and stress relaxation and what they have in common
Creep - temporary lengthening of CT under continual strain
Stress Relaxation - diminishing resistance in response to continual strain
Similar - time factor / both could explain feeling of depth/‘release’ in held stretch
Do muscles become weak or overly lengthened from stretching? Explain
Muscles become weak from being under loaded, stretching doesnt create cremate adaptations so it may become aggravating for some. Stretching doesn’t create length in the tissues, we adapt to explore a length we are already capable of reaching
Name one structure the periosteum of your bones connects to
What is tendons, ligaments, and surrounding fascia?
