100
The science that deals with the effects of energy and forces on biological systems.
What is biomechanics
100
This is the most common shape of a joint
What is ovoid (egg shaped)
100
In this zone, collagen fibers are arranged parallel to the surface, it also has pores to allow fluid flow.
What is Zone 1
100
The ability to dampen shear forces
What is viscosity.
100
This is the key for stimulating strength in a muscle (not the number of repititions)
What is tension in the muscle.
200
The study of motion without regard to the forces responsible for the motion
What is kinematics
200
If the bone with a convex surface moves on a bone with a concave surface, the convex joint surface moves opposite the direction of the bone segment.
What is the Convex-Concave Relationship
200
This calcified layer lies adjacent to subchondral bone.
What is what is Zone 4.
200
The area in the Stress-Strain Deformation Curve in which tendon stretches easily, it is attributed to the straightening of crimped fibrils.
What is the Toe Region
200
This is the yearly recommendation for number of reps on a given muscle annually.
What is 20,000
300
Examples are sagittal, coronal, and transverse.
What are planes of motion
300
These are the two types of synarthrotic joints
What are Fibrous (suture, gomphosis, syndesmosis) and Cartilagenous (symphysis, synchrondrosis)
300
Collagen fibers are randomly arranged in Zone 3, and these fibers are located there and extend across the interface between the calcified and uncalcified cartilage to form a secure hold in the calcified cartilage.
What are Sharpey Fibers
300
This explains why tissues do not store all of the energy that is transferred to them when deformed, some energy is dissipated in the form of heat.
What is hysteresis.
300
This has never been shown to prevent injury
What is stretching.
400
This is the movement of an object in a straight line.
What is translatory (linear) motion.
400
This type of joint always has synovial fluid, articular cartilage, a joint capsule, a synovial membrane, ligaments, blood vessels, and sensory nerves
What are Synovial (diathrodial) joints.
400
This is the area between the uncalcified and calcified cartilage
What is the tidemark?
400
Fibers run diagonally with respect to a tendon running through the muscle.
What are penniform muscles.
400
In this theory of nutrition for articular cartilage, each surface is coated with a thin layer of molecules that keep opposing surfaces from touching.
What is Boundary lubrication
500
Normal muscle function is dependent on this.
What is normal joint movement
500
This extra layer is on tendons subjected to high frictional forces, it produces synovial fluid.
What is the epitenon
500
The zones are simply layers that in total create this type of cartilage
What is Hyaline Cartilage
500
These are the 4 functional characteristics of muscle.
What are Irritability, Contractibility, Extensibility, and Elasticity.
500
The increase in the cross section of a muscle fiber
What is hypertrophy
