1
Q

What are the 3 functions of the skeleton?

A

Protection, Movement and Support

2
Q

What are the 2 different synovial joints?

A

Hinge and Ball and Socket

3
Q

What are the 2 different hinge joints?

A

Knee and Elbow

4
Q

What are the 2 different ball and socket joints?

A

Shoulder and Hip

5
Q

What are the 2 ranges of movement at a hinge joint?

A

Flexion and Extension

6
Q

What are the 5 ranges of movement at a ball and socket joint?

A

Flexion, Extension, Adduction, Abduction and Rotation

7
Q

What is extension?

A

The term given when the angle at the joint increases.

8
Q

What is flexion?

A

The term given when the angle at the joint decreases.

9
Q

What is abduction?

A

The movement of the limb away from the midline of the body.

10
Q

What is adduction?

A

The movement of a limb towards the midline of the body.

11
Q

What is rotation?

A

When the bone at a joint moves around its own axis.

12
Q

What is weight bearing activity?

A

Activities that force your body to work against gravity. For example, walking, running and tennis.

13
Q

What is the benefit of weight bearing activities?

A

Weight bearing activities increase bone density; this helps to reduce the risk of osteoporosis as a person gets older.

14
Q

What are the 2 long term effects of exercise on the skeletal system?

A

Increased bone density and increased strength of ligaments and tendons.

15
Q

What are the 3 benefits of increased bone density?

A

Reduce the chance of osteoporosis, gives better posture and reduces the chance of fractures.

16
Q

What are the 2 benefits of stronger ligaments and tendons?

A

Better support of joints (more stability) and increased production of synovial fluid lubricates the joints aiding flexibility.

17
Q

What are the 5 different potential injuries that might occur in the skeletal system?

A

Fractures, Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow, Dislocation, Sprains and Torn Cartilage.

18
Q

What are the 4 different types of fracture?

A

Compound, Closed, Simple and Stress

19
Q

Which fracture is a broken bone that pierces the skin?

A

Compound

20
Q

What is a closed fracture?

A

Broken bone but skin is not broken.

21
Q

When the bone is only partially broken, what type of fracture is this?

A

Simple

22
Q

What is a stress fracture?

A

Injury commonly caused through over-use. A small crack forms in the bone.

23
Q

When a bone comes out of the joint it is known as what?

A

A dislocation

24
Q

What is tennis / golfer’s elbow?

A

Pain in a joint caused by overuse.

25
Q

A damaged ligament is known as what?

A

Sprain

26
Q

What injury may be caused through pivoting?

A

Torn cartilage

27
Q

How would you treat a sprain?

A

Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (REST)

28
Q

What are the 2 components of a balanced diet that are most important to the skeletal system?

A

Calcium and Vitamin D
