The human movement system includes an integration of - CORRECT ANSWER - the
nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems.
The nervous system provides - CORRECT ANSWER - sensory (afferent) and motor
(efferent) information.
What is the functional unit of the nervous system? - CORRECT ANSWER - The neuron
The nervous system includes - CORRECT ANSWER - the CNS (brain and spinal cord)
and PNS (somatic and autonomic nervous system).
The PNS contains different types of sensory receptors such as - CORRECT ANSWER -
mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
The muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organ are - CORRECT ANSWER - two important
sensory receptors (mechanoreceptors).
What are the two subdivision of the PNS? - CORRECT ANSWER - the somatic and
autonomic nervous systems.
The nervous system requires different electrolytes for proper function, which include -
CORRECT ANSWER - sodium, potassium, magnesium, and water.
What are the 3 stages of motor skill development? - CORRECT ANSWER - cognitive,
associative, and autonomous.
The nervous system develops as - CORRECT ANSWER - humans age from childhood
to adulthood.
Human movement system (HMS) - CORRECT ANSWER - The collective components
and structures that work together to move the body: muscular, skeletal, and nervous
systems.
Neuron - CORRECT ANSWER - Specialized cell that is the functional unit of the
nervous system
Three components of a neuron - CORRECT ANSWER - cell body, axon, and dendrites.
,Central nervous system (CNS) - CORRECT ANSWER - A division of the nervous
system that includes the brain and spinal cord.
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) - CORRECT ANSWER - Nerves that connect the rest
of the body to the central nervous system.
Afferent pathway - CORRECT ANSWER - Sensory pathway that relays information to
the central nervous system.
Efferent pathway - CORRECT ANSWER - A motor pathway that relays information from
the central nervous system to the rest of the body.
Mechanoreceptors - CORRECT ANSWER - Specialized structures that respond to
mechanical forces (touch and pressure) within tissues and then transmit signals through
sensory nerves.
Somatic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER - Nerves that serve the outer areas of
the body and skeletal muscle and are largely responsible for the voluntary control of
movement.
Autonomic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER - A division of the peripheral
nervous system that supplies neural input to organs that run the involuntary processes
of the body (e.g., circulating blood, digesting food, producing hormones).
Sympathetic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER - Subdivision of the autonomic
nervous system that works to increase neural activity and put the body in a heightened
state.
Parasympathetic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER - Subdivision of the autonomic
nervous system that works to decrease neural activity and put the body in a more
relaxed state.
Proprioception - CORRECT ANSWER - The body's ability to naturally sense its general
orientation and relative position of its parts.
Muscle spindles** - CORRECT ANSWER - Sensory receptors sensitive to change in
LENGTH of the muscle and the rate of that change.
Golgi tendon organ (GTO) ** - CORRECT ANSWER - A specialized sensory receptor
located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendons of skeletal
muscle; sensitive to changes in muscular TENSION and rate of tension change.
Three stages of motor skill development - CORRECT ANSWER - • During stage 1
(cognitive), you may need to use simple instructions and break down the skill into
smaller steps so your clients will be able to understand the goals of the movement.
,• During stage 2 (associative), you may need to help refine your clients' skills through
practice and regular feedback.
• During stage 3 (autonomous), you may be able to teach your clients new versions of
the skill to further challenge them.
Function of the skeletal system - CORRECT ANSWER - provides support for the body
and protects the internal organs.
What are the two divisions of the skeletal system? - CORRECT ANSWER - axial and
appendicular
Human bones act as - CORRECT ANSWER - attachment sites and levers (rigid rods) to
produce movement when muscles contract.
Bone growth occurs throughout life and remodels itself with specialized cells called -
CORRECT ANSWER - osteoblasts and osteoclasts
What are the five categories of bones? - CORRECT ANSWER - long, short, flat,
irregular, and sesamoid.
What are the five regions of the vertebral column? - CORRECT ANSWER - cervical,
thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx
In between each vertebra is - CORRECT ANSWER - an intervertebral disc that acts as
a shock absorber and assists with movement.
Joints are formed by - CORRECT ANSWER - one bone articulating with another and
can be categorized by their shape, structure, and function.
Osteokinematic describes - CORRECT ANSWER - bone movement
arthrokinematic describes - CORRECT ANSWER - movement at the joint surface.
Synovial joints are unique with a - CORRECT ANSWER - synovial capsule but also
contain other connective tissues, such as ligaments and fascia that provide support.
Synovial joints have six classifications: - CORRECT ANSWER - gliding (plane),
condyloid, hinge, saddle, pivot, and ball-and-socket joints.
Exercise and proper nutrition can have a major positive impact on ___________ with
the aging adult. - CORRECT ANSWER - bone mass
Skeletal system - CORRECT ANSWER - A description of the bones of the body. In the
human skeletal system, there are 206 bones of which approximately 177 are used in
voluntary movement.
, Axial skeleton - CORRECT ANSWER - A division of the skeletal system consisting of
the skull, the rib cage, and the vertebral column. There are approximately 80 bones in
the axial skeleton.
Appendicular skeleton - CORRECT ANSWER - A division of the skeletal system
consisting of the arms, legs, and pelvic girdle. The appendicular skeleton encompasses
approximately 126 bones.
Remodeling - CORRECT ANSWER - The process by which bone is constantly renewed
by the resorption and formation of the bone structure.
Osteoclasts - CORRECT ANSWER - Special cells that break down and remove old
bone tissue.
Osteoblasts - CORRECT ANSWER - Special cells that form and lay down new bone
tissue.
Long bone characteristics and examples? - CORRECT ANSWER - Long, cylindrical
shaft with irregular or widened ends
• Humerus (i.e., the upper arm bone)
• Femur (i.e., the thigh bone)
Short bone characteristics and examples? - CORRECT ANSWER - Similar in length
and width and appear somewhat cubical in shape
• Carpals of the wrist
• Tarsals of the ankle
Flat bone characteristics and examples? - CORRECT ANSWER - Thin, protective
surfaces that provide broad surfaces for muscles to attach
• Scapulae (i.e., the shoulder blades)
• Sternum (i.e., the breast plate)
• Ribs
Irregular bone characteristics and examples? - CORRECT ANSWER - Unique shape
and function from all other bone types
• Vertebrae (i.e., the spinal column)
Sesamoid bone characteristics and examples? - CORRECT ANSWER - Small, often
round bones embedded in a joint capsule or found in locations where a tendon passes
over a joint
