For every action there is an opposite reaction
What is Newton's Third Law
100
Explain the difference between active and passive insufficiency
Passive: when a muscle cannot lengthen anymore, occurs with antagonist of muscle

Active: when a muscle cannot shorten anymore, occurs with agonist

What is it called when the the proximal segment remains stationary and the distal end is free to move
What is Open kinetic chain
100
What is the total number of pairs of spinal nerves
31 pairs

What contraction produces the strongest force?
What is eccentric contraction
200
What lever favors effort?
What is second class lever
200
Name one of the four properties of a muscle tissue
Excitability
Contractility
Extensibility
Elasticity
200
What is the movement of the long bone around an axis
What is osteokinematics
200
These detect active tension in a muscle, which not only helps them determine the appropriate force needed for a task, but also sends an inhibitory message to relax
What is Golgi Tendon Organs
200
What makes up the Central Nervous System
What are the brain and spinal cord
300
Explain how the difference in the muscular moment arm can affect the outcome of an object of mass in terms of intertia
The shorter the muscular moment arm, more effort needed. The longer the muscular moment arm, less effort needs, but also increased angular velocity so it is harder o stop the due to the mass distribution moving as a high rate.
300
What is the name of the relationship that demonstrates power produced is controlled by how quickly and powerfully the muscle contracts
(Hint: optimum power is when muscle is slightly stretched)
what is force-power relationship
300
What is the convex-concave principle?
The convex surface of the joint moves on the concave surface in the opposing motion compared to where the segment is moving
(i.e. shoulder joint)
300
What reflex is rapidly flexing your muscles to protect your body from damaging stimuli?
What is flexor withdrawal reflex
300

What region of a stress-strain curve do you reach when you no longer can return to the original shape
What is the plastic region

Longitudanal axis allows movement on what plane?
What is the transverse plane
