Name the two main parts to the human skeleton.

- Axial skeleton

- Appendicular skeleton

100

Name 5 major joints involved in movement of the body.

- neck. shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, fingers, toes

100

Muscles which are attached to our skeleton are known as ___________ muscles?

Skeletal

100

The primary focus of Functional Anatomy is to understand how which two bodily systems interact to produce movement. 

Skeletal System and Muscular System.

200

All bones contain these two forms of bone tissue.

- compact bone

- spongy bone

200

Which type of joints provide the most movement, and are therefore most examined in Functional Anatomy?

- Synovial joints

200

Each muscle in the body is only capable of two actions. These are...

- contraction

- relaxation

200

When thought of as a single system, the two bodily systems involved in Functional Anatomy are known as what system?

Musculoskeletal System.

300

Name the major bones in the Axial skelton.

- Skull

- Veterbral column

- Ribs

- Sternum

- Coccyx

300

Name the 3 different types of joints.

- Fibrous

- Cartilaginous

- Synovial

300

Name the 3 types of muscles in the body and the only type which we have voluntary (direct) control over.

- Smooth (involuntary)

- Skeletal (we have direct control)

- Cardiac (involuntary)

300

How does Functional Anatomy differ from the larger field of science known as Anatomy?

It is a specialised branch of anatomy that studies how bodily systems work together to produce movement.

400

The unique shape of each bone in the human body allows it to perform a specific function. Name the 4 main categories of bones.

- long bones

- short bones

- flat bones

- irregular bones

400

Name 4 different types of synovial joints.

- pivot

-hinge

-saddle

- ball and socket

- gliding

- ellipsoid

400

What is the difference between an isotonic contraction and an isometric contraction in skeletal muscles?

Isotonic contractions involves movement (concentric or eccentric). Isometric contractions do not involve movement, but still produce energy (e.g. holding a weight in place).

400

Name 3 benefits of having a basic understanding of functional anatomy.

- prevent injuries from occurring

- understand and follow advice from health professionals

- ability to use more efficient movement sequences

- increase injury recovery rate

500

List the 5 functions of the skeletal system.

- support

- protection

- movement

- storage

- blood cell production

500

Explain the 3 major lower body joints involved in a lawn bowls delivery and what the joint movements involved are for each joint?

- Flexion of the Hip

- Flexion of the Knee

- Dorsiflexion of the Ankle

500

Explain the process of reciprocal inhibition.

Reciprocal inhibition is when the central nervous system sends a message for the muscle on one side of a joint to contract, while at the same time sending a message to the message on the other side of the joint to relax.

500

Name the two ways doctors, physios, and other health professionals (exercise physiologists etc.) use their extensive knowledge of functional anatomy to help athletes.

- help them recover from injuries during rehabilitation.

- reduce the risk of being injured in the first place.
