What is kinetics?
Deals with forces causing movement in a system

What is the difference between anterior and posterior?
Anterior (Ventral):Refers to a position more towards the front of the body in reference to another structure

What is origin?
The proximal attachment of a muscle or ligament.
400
What does the Fibula provide?
The Fibula is a non-weight supporting bone that combines to the Tibia to provide stability to the ankle joint.

What are the functions of muscles?
heat, protection, stability, movement
500
What is linear motion?
When all parts of a “body” move in the same direction as every other part.
500
What is insertion?
The distal attachment of a muscle or ligament.
500
What bones are distal from the carpals?
metacarpals

What does the synovial membrane do?
Produce the synovial fluid that fills the joint cavity.
500
What are the different ways a muscle may be named?
Size, location, shape, action, origin and insertion site, number of origins, and direction of fibers.
