  • Flat Bones- Provide support for the body and protect vital organs eg; skull
  • Long bones-provide movement (lever) eg; femur
  • Short bone- light and small which support the bod eg; carpals and tarsals
  • Irregular bone— specifically shaped to do a particular function eg; patella
  • movement- muscles attached to bones making levers
  • shape- framework for muscles to attach
  • Support- to stand and stay strong
  • Mineral storage- minerals strengthen the bones
  • Red blood cell production- made in bone marrow and stored in bones
  • Ligaments- bones to bones
  • Tendons- muscle to bones
  • Synovial joint (2 bones meet) important for movement and rotation
  • Synovial membrane- maintains symbolic fluidity of joints and prevents friction
  • Synovial fluid- reduces friction
  • Joint capsule- a lot of membranes support joint
  • Bursae- fluid filled air sac
  • Cartilage- covers and protects end of long bones
  • Muscle tissue is made up of fibres that contract when stimulated by nerves
  • flexion- decreasing angle at a joint
  • Extension- increasing angle at a joint
  • adduction- move limbs toward body mid
  • Abduction- move limbs away body mid
  • plantar flexion- foot pointed toward ground
  • Dorsi flexion- flexing ankle upward
  • Rotation- action of rotating around a centre
  • Voluntary muscle- under control
  • Involunotary muscles- not under control
  • Cardiac muscles- contracts itself- wall of heart
  • Agonist contracts (shortens) then antagonist relaxes (lengthens)
  • biceps and triceps
    Hamstrings and quadriceps
    Gastronemius and Dibialis anterior
    Gluteals and hip flexor
    Latissimus Dorsi and abdominals
    pectorals and deltoids
  • hinge joint- back and forward
  • Ball and socket- all movement
  • Isometric contraction- muscles contract without changing length of muscle eg; handstand
  • isotonic contraction- shortening or lengthening of the muscle eg; push up
  • eccentric- when muscle lengthens due to greater opposite force
  • concentric- when muscle shortens generating smaller force
    1. mouth
    2. trachea
    3. bronchi
    4. bronchioles
    5. alveoli
    6. diaphragm
  • breathe out the intercostal muscles relax, ribs move down and diaphragm relaxes into a Dome shape, Chest cavity have a smaller pressure, lungs increase air pressure outside is lower.
  • gaseous exchange
    for diffusion, there must be a different concentration of gas in alveoli and blood. This allows oxygen to diffuse from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
  • alveoli- large surface area, millions, one cell thick, good blood supply
