• Relative Health


  Refers to the use of others to compare the health status of a particular person.

  Example: someone deciding that an elite basketball player is healthier than someone who plays basketball occasionally for fun.
• Dynamic Health


  Refers to the fact that the health status of anyone is continually changing.

  Example: cancer, divorce, questioning faith, injury, being fired from a job.
• Key areas that determine our health

  Socioeconomic factors, sociocultural factors, environmental factors and individual factors.
• How many bones does the human body have?


  206
• Bones only move because .... pull them

  muscles
• superior


  towards the head.

  Example: the chest is superior to the hips
• inferior 


  towards the feet.

  Example: the foot is inferior to the leg
• anterior


  towards the front.

  Example: the breast is on the anterior chest wall
• posterior


  towards the back.

  Example: the backbone is posterior to the heart
• medial


  towards the midline of the body

  Example: the big toe is on the medial side of the foot
• lateral


  towards the side of the body

  Example: the little toe is on the lateral side of the foot
• proximal


  towards the body's mass

  Example: the shoulder is proximal to the elbow
• distal


  away from the body's mass

  Example: the elbow is distal to the shoulder
• (collar bone) A long bone that provides attachment between the shoulder girdle and the vertebral column. It gives greater mobility to the shoulder joint when movement is taking place, such as throwing a softball.


  clavicle
• (shoulder blade) A larger, triangular flat bone. The scapula/clavicle structure allows the arm to attach to the trunk portion of the skeleton. Many muscles involved in movement attach to this bone.

  scapula
• the major long bone in the upper arm joining the shoulder to the elbow.

  humerus
• long bone found on the thumb side of the forearm. with the palms facing forward, it is the outside bone.

  radius
• the longer bone of the forearm, found on the little finger side. with palms facing forward, its on the inside bone.

  ulna
• the bones of the wrist of fingers.

  carpals, metacarpals and phalanges
• The pelvis


  pelvic girdle
• (thighbone) the longest and strongest bone in the body. the bone in the leg above the knee

  femur
• (kneecap) main role to provide protection to the knee


  patella
• (shinbone) the larger of two long bones that form the lower leg.

  tibia
• a slender long bone that is the smaller of two long bones that form the lower leg.

  fibula
• the bones of the foot


  tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges
• immovable joints(eg cranium)


  fibrous
• slightly moveable joints(eg spine)

  cartilaginous
• freely movable joints(eg kneecap)

  synovial
• tough, inelastic cords of tissue that attach muscle to bone.

  tendons
• decreasing the angle between two bones

  flexion
• increasing the angle between two bones

  extention
• movement of a bone away from the midline

  abduction
• movement of a bone towards the midline

  adduction
• movement of forearm so that the palm is posterior or inferior

  (palms facing up, palms turning inwards, palms facing down)

  pronation
• movement of the forearm so that palms are anterior or superior

  (palms facing down, palms turning inwards, palms facing up)

  supination
• raising of a body part


  elevation
• lowering of a body part


  depression
• bending of foot towards shin (bending foot upwards)

  dorsiflexion
• bending of foot from shin (planting foot down)

  plantar flexion
• rotation of sole of foot inwards

  inversion
