Cranium (skull)
The major muscle contributing to the upward phase of a bicep curl
Bicep
What joins bone to muscle?
Tendons
Name the two bones that make up the shoulder girdle
Clavicle and Scapula
The two major muscles of the upper leg
Quadriceps and Hamstrings
Flat bones that allow a large surface area for attachment of muscles
Scapula, Pelvis
The two major muscles responsible for arm lifts and pulls in swimming and gymnastics
Deltoids and Latissimus Dorsi
Describe how bones and muscles work together to produce movement
The muscles pull on bones to create movement at joints
Name the 3 bones in the arm
Humerus, Ulna and Radius
Name 3 muscles that are located in the core area of the body
Rectus Abdominus, Latissimus Dorsi, Pectoralis Major
Name the bones that protect the major abdominal organs
Ribs, Sternum, Spine, Pelvis
Describe how muscles produce heat
Muscles produce heat by using energy during contraction. The majority of energy from muscle activity becomes heat, helping to maintain body temperature.
Describe how an injury to a muscle or tendon may impact movement
Muscles and tendons work together to create movement.
Muscles contract (shorten) to pull on bones.
Tendons are strong bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones, helping transfer that pulling force.
When a muscle or tendon is injured (like a strain, tear or sprain), it can cause:
Pain when trying to move
Weakness in the affected area
Limited range of motion (harder to stretch or bend)
Swelling or stiffness, making movements slower or smaller
Loss of control or coordination (the muscle can’t pull the bone properly)
Name the bones in the forearm, wrist and hand
Ulna, Radius, Carpals and Metacarpals
Name 4 muscles located on the arm or upper body
Deltoids, Biceps, Triceps, Trapezius
Name 4 examples of long bones where blood cells would be produced
Radius, Ulna, Humerus, Femur, Tibia, Fibula
Explain how muscles provide stabilisation to the body
Muscles provide stabilisation by contracting to support joints and control movement.
Without muscle stabilisation, joints would be unstable, movements would be uncontrolled, and the risk of injury would increase.
