Why Do We Have an Internal Skeleton?
Anatomical Language…

GROUND ZERO – ANATOMICAL POSITION
The body is assumed to be standing, the feet
together, the arms to the side, and the head and
eyes and palms of the hands facing forward.
In the Anatomical Position, the thumb is a lateral
structure, not an anterior one


PLANES
Frontal/Coronal Plane
Transverse Plane
Sagital/Median Plane
Anatomical Language…
Sagittal plane – Divides body into right and left halves
Frontal plane – Divides body into front and back halves
Transverse plane – Divides body into upper and lower halves
Anterior– towards the front side of
Posterior – towards the backside of
Superior – above
Inferior – below
Medial – towards the midline
Lateral – away from the midline
Superficial – towards the surface
Deep – away from the surface
Proximal – towards the trunk
Distal – away from the trunk
Supine – lying on spine (back)
Prone – face down

MOVEMENT CONT’D

MOVEMENT CONT’D
- where there is a reduction in the angle between bones or parts of
the body. An example of arms flexing is a bicep curl.
Flexion
increase in the angle.
Extension
- is the opposite of flexion, and there is an
ADduction
–Movement of a limb towards the midline of the Body.
- the exact opposite of ADduction, movement of a limb
the midline of the Body.
Away from
Pronation
down.
ABduction
- this is the rotation of the hand so that the palm faces
Supination
- the rotation of the hand so that the palm faces
Dorsiflexion
- movement which
up.
decreases the angle between the foot and
the leg
flexion - the movement which increases the angle between the foot
and the leg, as when depressing an automobile pedal

BONES
Why do we need bones?
BONES

5 Functions of the Skeleton…
1.
FRAMEWORK/SUPPORT – Bones give the body it’s shape and allow it to stand upright
2.
PROTECTION – Bones protect the body’s vital organs
3.
MOVEMENT – Bones provide attachments for muscles to produce movement
4.
RED BLOOD CELL PRODUCTION – Red bone marrow within bones produces red blood
cells.
5.
STORAGE – Bones serve as a storage bank for minerals such as calcium and
phosphorus.
Types of Bones

1. Long Bones
2. Short

BONES

THE AXIAL SKELETON
The axial skeleton’s main purpose is to
the body’s most vital organs;
protect
•The Brain
•Heart
•Lungs
Also acts as attachment for muscles.
BONES

THE APPENDICULAR SKELETON
The appendicular skeleton allows for movement
mainly due to
greater joint mobility
Also provides protection for the organ of
digestion, excretion, and reproduction.
INERT TISSUES

CARTILAGE
The 3 main structural components of the human body are BONE, MUSCLE, and
CARTILAGE
Bones are rigid, while muscles stretch and bend. Cartilage is the perfect halfway point
between muscle and bone. Therefore, we find cartilage in places where we need some
support and structure, but a bit of flexibility as well.
Main Functions of Cartilage: Acts as cushion between bones, holds bones together (i.e
Ribs), shock absorber.
INERT TISSUES

MENISCUS
Medial Meniscus
Lateral Meniscus
INERT TISSUES

LIGAMENTS
Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that connect
BONE TO BONE
Ligaments keep bones together while allowing for movement, but also prevent
unwanted movement (i.e hyperextension)
INERT TISSUES

COMMONLY INJURED LIGAMENTS
ATFL – Anterior Talofibular Ligament
CFL – Calcaneofibular Ligament
ACL – Anterior Cruciate
Ligament
PCL – Posterior Cruciate
Ligament
MCL – Medial Collateral
Ligament
LCL – Lateral Collateral
Ligament
Joints

There are 3 Types of Joints:
1. Immovable (Fibrous)

i.e Sutures in the skull.
2. Slightly Moveable (Cartilaginous)

i.e Vertebral Joint, Tibiofibular Joint
3. Freely Moveable (Synovial Joint)

i.e Elbow, Knee, Fingers, Shoulders, Hips

The Synovial Joint contains synovial fluid which allows the joint to
move freely and decreases friction
The Muscular
System
Muscular System Overview

Muscles pump blood through our bodies,
move food through our digestive system, and control the
movement or air in and out of our lungs

Exercise is the key to health of the muscular system
In mass, muscle is the most abundant tissue in the body

Our muscles consist of 75% water

Muscles work by CONTRACTING, they become shorter
A muscles is composed of bundles of fibers


Types of Muscle

Smooth Muscle (Involuntary Muscle) – Movement of
internal organs (eg. Intestines, bladder, etc.). Smooth
muscle is not under conscious control

Skeletal Muscle (Voluntary Muscle) – Muscles attached to
bones that aid in body movements. An average adult male
is made up of 40–50% of skeletal muscle and an average
adult female is made up of 30–40%
Cardiac Muscle – Striated tissue that forms the walls of
the heart. Striated means Marked by narrow lines or
grooves, usually parallel.

Skeletal Muscle
Type I – Slow Twitch

Type I – “slow oxidative” or “slow twitch” muscle is dense
with capillaries and is rich in mitochondria and myoglobin,
giving the muscle tissue its characteristic Red color.

The slow muscles are more efficient at using oxygen to
generate more fuel (known as ATP) for continuous,
extended muscle contractions over a long time.

They fire more slowly than fast twitch fibers and can go
for a long time before they fatigue. Therefore, slow
twitch fibers are great at helping athletes run marathons
and bicycle for hours.
Skeletal Muscle
Type II – Fast Twitch
Because fast twitch fibers use anaerobic
metabolism to create fuel, they are much
better at generating short bursts of strength or
speed than slow muscles. However, they fatigue
more quickly.
 Fast twitch fibers generally produce the same
amount of force per contraction as slow
muscles, but they get their name because they
are able to fire more rapidly.
 Having more fast twitch fibers can be an asset
to a sprinter since he/she needs to quickly
generate a lot of force.

Fiber Type and Performance

Our muscle fiber type may influence what sports we are naturally good at or
whether we are fast or strong. Olympic athletes tend to fall into sports that
match their genetic makeup. Olympic sprinters have been shown to possess
about 80 percent fast twitch fibers, while those who excel in marathons tend
to have 80 percent slow twitch fibers.
Can Training Change Fiber Type?
This is not entirely understood, and research is
still looking at that question. There is some
evidence showing that human skeletal muscle
may switch fiber types from "fast" to "slow" due to
training but not the other way around.
 Fiber type is part of a great athlete's success, but
it alone is a poor predictor of performance. There
are many other factors that go into determining
athleticism, including mental preparedness,
proper nutrition and hydration, getting enough
rest, and having appropriate equipment and
conditioning.

Muscle Development
•
Hypertrophy – The
growth and
increase of the size of muscle cells
•
Example? Bodybuilding
Atrophy – The decrease in the size of
skeletal muscle cells. When a muscle
atrophies, it becomes weaker
Example? Inactivity, when a cast is put on a
limb.
Muscular Physiology
•
Each muscle is made up of many
Muscle
Fibers
Myofibrils
•
Each muscle fibre is made up of
•
Each myofibril is made up of a series of
Sarcomeres
•
The Sarcomere is made of 2 types of proteins, a
thin filament (Actin) and a thick filament
(Myosin)
How Does a Muscle Know When to Contract?
Messages from the
nervous system travel
via nerves into the
muscle telling it to
contract. A motor
nerve connects to a
muscle and branches
out into nerve
endings. It is these
endings which
stimulate the muscle
fibres.
Muscle Fatigue
A muscle requires fuel and oxygen for
energy. Muscles that are repeatedly
contracted require a high amount of
oxygen and energy. When the amount
of oxygen coming in, does not meet
the demands of the muscle, lactic acid
is produced causing a burning
sensation in the muscle.
