What is Frontal plane
100
A synovial gliding joint formed between the lateral end of the clavicle and the medial edge of the acromion process of the scapula.
What is Acromioclavicular joint (a/c joint)
100
Ligament that connects the sacrum to the ilium on the anterior aspect of the sacrum.
What is anterior sacroiliac ligament
100
The acid produced by the body during the anaerobic metabolism of glucose in muscle tissue.
What is Lactic Acid
100
A small, cylindrical organelle that is organized in parallel bundles and are made up of smaller myofilaments; located in the cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
What is a myofibril
200
The directional term that divides the body from right to left?
What is Sagittal Plane
200
This is classified as a synovial modified hinge joint. It is formed by the articulation of the temporal bone and the mandible.
What is the Temporal-mandibular Joint
200
Attaches from the ischial aspect of the acetabulum to the superior portion of the neck of the femur.
What is the Ischiofemoral ligament
200
The method by which muscles are thought to contract.
What is sliding filament theory
200
Cytoplasm of a muscle fiber
What is Sarcoplasm
300
The directional term that divides at the waist from the top of the body to bottom.
What is transverse
300
This joint is formed by the articulation of the anterior arch of the atlas and the odontoid process of the axis (atlanto-odontoid joint), and by the gliding articulations of the inferior facets of the atlas (C1) and the superior facets of the axis (C2
What is Atlanto-axial joint
300
This ligament runs from the proximal medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial surface of the tibia; it stabilizes the knee to prevent excessive medial movement and anterior displacement of the tibia; also called the medial collateral ligament.
What is Tibial Collateral Ligament
300
A muscle that assists the agonist in completing a movement.
What is a Synergist
300
The contractile unit within a muscle fiber
What is a sarcomere
400
The directional term that is towards the midline of the body
What is Medial
400
This is made of two compound joints (one on each side) consisting of an anterior synovial gliding joint (formed between the surface of the sacrum and ilium) and a posterior syndesmosis joint (formed between the tuberosities of the sacrum and ilium) that allow for nonaxial gliding movements.
What is the sacroiliac joint
400
A ligament that connects the posterior intercondylar surface of the tibia to the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle. It restricts posterior displacement of the tibia and anterior displacement of the femur.
What is the posterior cruciate ligament
400
This is a reflex mechanism that coordinates the efforts of agonist and antagonist muscles.
What is reciprocal inhibition
400
Bundles of muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium are called...
What is fascicles
500
The directional term that refers to an area closest to the head
What is Proximal
500
A synovial saddle joint formed between the articulations of the medial end of the clavicle with the manubrium of the sternum; allows gliding movements.
What is Sternoclavicular Joint
500
Extends from the transverse process of the 5th lumbar vertebra to the posterior iliac crest; helps to stabilize L5 on the sacrum.
What is Iliolumbar ligament
500
The joining between a muscle and its motor nerve ending.
What is a Neuromuscular Junction
