Flexion/extension; circumduction; abduction/adduction
What are angular movements?
Name of the fast oxidative glycolytic muscle fiber
Type IIa muscle fiber
When a muscle is active while shortening
What is concentric muscle action?
The smallest living unit within the body
What is the cell?
Cartilage that is involved in endochondral ossification?
Joint with no movement
What is synarthrosis?
The connective tissue that surrounds the whole muscle
What is epimysium?
The proprioceptor that detects force
What is the golgi tendon organ?
The plane that splits the body into left and right sides
What is the sagittal plane?
Thoracic and sacral
What are primary curvatures of the spine?
Foot, knee, low back, scapula, elbow
What are stable joints?
The proprioceptor that detects a muscle's length and speed of stretching
What is the muscle spindle?
An example of a hinge joint
What is the elbow or knee?
Type of muscle tissue that facilitates movement of substances through tracts
What is smooth muscle?
Mature osteoblasts
What are osteocytes?
Lateral curvature of the spine
What is scoliosis?
An eccentric action immediately followed by concentric action of the same muscle
What is the stretch-shortening cycle?
A type of cartilage that reduces friction at stress points in the body
What is fibrocartilage?
Type of tissue that covers/lines tissue, provides protection, and helps regulate secretion and absorption
What is epithelial?
Mild bone loss
What is osteopenia?
Type of arthritis caused by excess production of uric acid and formation of cyrstals
What is gouty arthritis?
Constant angular velocity about a joint
What is isokinetic muscle action?
