...together to allow us to take part in a wide range of sports and everyday activities. It is important that anyone working with clients in the sport and exercise industry has a good understanding of how each of these systems works and copes with the stresses of exercise. This unit will explore the structure and the functions of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how each of them is affected by exercise. It will also focus on the energy systems and their role in sport and exercise performance. Section One - The Structure and Function of The Skeletal System and How it Responds to Exercise Part 1.1: The structure of the skeleton system The skeleton provides us with a complex framework of bones, joints and cartilage without which we could not stand upright or move. It consists of 206 bones which can be divided into the axial and appendicular skeleton. The axial and appendicular skeleton The axial skeleton provides the supportive structure of the skeleton and is made up of the skull, vertebral column, sternum and ribs. The appendicular skeleton is made up of the upper limbs, shoulder girdle, lower limbs and hip girdle and provides the framework for movement. The table below outlines the axial and appendicular skeleton in further detail. |Axial skeleton |Skull (cranium) | | |The skull is made up of approximately...

...Joints - Classification by Movement Joints can be classified by how much movement they allow. * Synarthroses: Immovable joints. Specific examples of synarthroses are suture joints (the joints in the skull) and synchondroses (the type of joint found in growth plates). * Amphiarthroses: Slightly moveable joints. A specific example of an amphiarthrosis is a symphysis (such as the joint between two vertebrae). * Diarthroses: Freely moveable joints. Specific examples of diarthroses are typical synovial joints such as the shoulder and wrist. * Fibrous Joints * Fibrous joints are connected only by fibrous ligaments. A ligament is dense connective tissue that connects bone to bone (as opposed to tendons, which connect muscles to bones). Ligaments are named based on their position or based on the bones they attach. There are 3 distinct types of fibrous joints: 1. Suture Joints 2. Gomphoses 3. Syndesmoses Cartilaginous Joints | The next broad classification of joints we will discuss are cartilaginous joints. Cartilaginous joints are joined by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage. The cartilage of cartilaginous joints is avascular and anervous except at the margins. Hyaline cartilage is slippery and strong when compressed, but has little tensile strength (strength against being stretched). Fibrocartilage, on the other hand, is tough and strong both when compressed and when stretched (high tensile strength). There are two distinct types...

...Vertebral cartilaginous joints occurs where the association between the articulating bones is comprised of ligament for instance between vertebrae in the spine. A fibrocartilaginous joint is formed between the nearby vertebral bodies with fibrocartilaginous intervertebral circles situated between the bodies (Dihlmann, 1985). Each circle is comprised of a thick mass, the core pulposus, which is encompassed by the annulus fibrosus usually comprised of extreme fibrous layers. Posterior and Anterior longitudinal tendons keep running in groups down the front and back surfaces of the vertebral bodies from the skull to the sacrum. They help to provide stability to the vertebral column. Synchondroses are transitory joints which are just present in children, up until the end of adolescence, for instance, the epiphyseal plates in long bones. Symphesis joints are permanent cartilaginous joints, for instance the pubic symphesis....

...Osteoarthritis (OA). Arthritis means inflammation of the joints and osteoarthritis is the most common form In UK. It affects the joint cartilage and the bone tissue next to the cartilage. To appreciate the effect of this we need firstly to understand how the joint works. A joint is where two bones meet. Joints allow movement and flexibility of various parts of the body. The movement of the bones is caused by muscles which pull on tendons that are attached to bone. Cartilage is a hard, smooth tissue that covers the end of bones. Between the cartilages of two bones which form a joint, there is a small amount of thick fluid called synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates the joint which allows smooth movement between the bones. The synovial fluid is made by the synovium. This is the tissue that surrounds the joint. The outer part of the synovium is called the capsule. This is tough and helps to give the joint stability. Surrounding ligaments and muscles also help to give support and stability to joints. We know need to understand how osteoarthritis is caused. All normal joints and joint tissues are constantly undergoing some form of repair because of the wear and tear that is placed on them through our daily activities. However, in some people, it seems that this repair process becomes faulty in some way (perhaps because of severe wear and tear to the joints or a problem with the repair process) and OA develops. In joints with OA, the joint cartilage becomes damaged and worn. The bone tissue...

...body's joints), the fibrous band of connective tissue that joins the end of one bone with another. A strain is an injury of a muscle and/or tendon (tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone). Joints Fibrous (synarthrodial) - Fibrous joints are fixed or immovable joints. Suture, Syndesmosis (Gomphosis) and Interosseous Membranes A suture joint. An example of a suture is the fibrous joints between the bones of the skull of an infant. An syndesmosis joint connects two bones through connective tissue. An example is the tibio-fibular syndesmosis, the connective tissue that binds the ends of the fibula and tibia. A gomphosis joint is when one bone fits into another bone. The edges are bound together by connective tissue. An example of a gomphosis joint is a tooth in the jawbone. Cartilaginous: (synchondrosis and symphysis) - These are partly moveable joints where the bones are attached by either fibro cartilage or hyaline cartilage. There are two types of Cartilaginous joints: Synchondrosis, which are temporary joints and symphysis which are permanent joints. A synchondroses is a joint where the surfaces are close together, yet are bound by hyaline cartilage. An example of a synchondroses is at the ends of long bones. An example of a symphysis joint is the attachment of one vertebra to another by an intervertebral disk, a fibrocartilage ring, in the vertebral column. This maintains stability. Synovial: (diarthrosis) - Synovial joints are freely...

...The skeletal system: Have you ever wondered what keeps your body in shape, or what supports it? What it is is a very complex system of bones. A bone is a structure that severs as a unit for the formation of this mass frame composed of hundreds of bones, called the skeletal system. The skeletal system is composed of about two hundred and six bones in total. Each bone is connected to another bone through ligaments or tendons. Ligaments are segment of tough connective tissue that joins bones together or sever to keep an organ in place. Tendons are cables of though fibers that attaches a muscle to a bone. There are two parts to the skeletal system: the axial skeletal system, and the perpendicular skeletal system. The axial skeletal system is the portion of the skeletal system that supports the head, neck, and trunk. The axial skeletal system consists of the cranium, vertebral column, the rib cage, and the thoracic cage. The Appendicular skeletal system consists of the limbs and the upper and lower part of the body such as the femur, the carpals, tarsals, humerus, and several more. Bones have many purposes in the body that help it function properly. One purpose is to maintain the body's framework and hold it upright. Without the skeletal system, the body could not function properly, because the body would be a big puddle of organs tissue, veins, and muscles basically. The organs must not have any pressure in them to function properly, and the skeletal system relives the organs from...

...Joints and Movements The Joints Definition: A joint (articulation) is point of contact between bones or between bone and cartilage. Joint Classifications Joints are classified by: * The degree of movement they allow * The structure of the joint The three types of joints that we will look at are: 1. Fibrous joints 2. Cartilaginous joints 3. Synovial joints Fibrous Joints These joints are also called "fixed" or "immoveable" joints, because they do not move. These joints have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints. Cartilaginous Joints These joints also have no joint cavity and the bones are connected tightly to each other with cartilage. These joints only allow a small amount of movement, so are also called "partly" or "slightly moveable" joints. The vertebrae are examples of cartilaginous joints. Synovial Joints Most of the joints in the body are synovial joints. These joints are "freely moveable" and are characterised by being surrounded by an articular capsule which contains the synovial fluid. Synovial fluid lubricates the joints, supplies nutrients to the cartilage and it contains cells that remove microbes and debris within the joint cavity. Because of the larger range of movements of these joints, there is an increased risk of injury eg dislocations. Synovial joints are located predominantly in limbs. Many synovial joints also have ligaments either inside...

...CHART 1 – MOVEMENT AT JOINTS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY | SYNOVIALJOINT (S) | EXPLANATION OF THE TYPE OF MOVEMENT OCCURING | Tumble turn in swimming | The type of synovial joint when doing a tumble turn in swimming is the ball and socket joint in the hip. | When doing a tumble turn in swimming the movement you will need is rotation, because once you have pushed of the wall you rotate your body using your hips so you can face the right direction. Another movement you have when doing a tumble turn is extension, because when you push of the wall your body is fully straightened. | Striking a football at a penalty kick | The types of synovial joints when taking a penalty kick is the hinge joint in the knee and the gliding joint in the hands. | When taking a penalty kick the type of movement you use is abduction because when you shoot you are taking your leg away from the centre line of your body. Also when taking a penalty the type of movement you use is flexion because when you strike the ball your leg has a backwards and forward motion. Finally the last movement you have when striking a football for a penalty kick is extension because when you take your penalty your hinge joint is fully stretched. | Knee lift in sprinting | The types of synovial joints when doing knee lift in sprinting is the hinge joint, ball and socket joint. | The type of movement you have when doing knee lifts in sprinting is abduction because when you lift your knees up...

...Associated joints is like structure that hold your bones together and allowing you to walk and move without falling apart; because it is flexible, but they don′t stretch far away and the fibers are very strong, and resistant to damage from pulling or compressing stresses. Fibers need collagen which help multiply the power of the individual fibers. If this process not completed, the joints may have an abnormal condition and this will causes for pain, If this process is not completed, the joints may stay in an abnormal position and this causes pain, numbness, and muscle spasms. It also can prevent movement and may having dislocating joint. So these fibers are important to maintaining the joint while it is in movement. The hand and the wrist...

...shoulder while playing football. At presentation, he denied any numbness, tingling or loss of sensation of his left upper extremity. Examination of his shoulder girdles revealed an internally rotated left shoulder and shortened clavicular distance. He did have a visible deformation of his left clavicle when compared to the contralateral, uninjured side and had excruciating pain to palpation of the clavicular and sternoclavicular area. The patient had full flexion and extension at the elbow. Shoulder deltoid was intact as were internal and external rotation of his shoulder. Furthermore, the patient denied being short of breath, feeling dizzy, or with difficulty swallowing. Radiographs of the left clavicle and sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) at the initial visit were remarkable for a posterior dislocation of the clavicle. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of the left clavicle and SCJ revealed that it was posteriorly displaced and edema was present at the fracture site. The physeal attachment to the manubrium was intact. Furthermore, the anterior portion of the clavicle was abutting the brachiocephalic and left subclavian vein (Figure 1). The patient was admitted and a closed reduction was attempted. Postoperatively, the patient developed paresthesia of the fingers of his left hand. An urgent CT scan with contrast was performed to evaluate any potential bleeding from the subclavian vessels. No active bleeding was discovered, however, a retrosternal hematoma...

...A. Hinge joints (ginglymus): it is a bone joint. It allows movement only on one axis (monaxial). Its structure allows two kind of movement: flexion and extension. The head of the bone wraps around the cylindrical head of the other. Allowing a very stable rotation. E.g. Ankle, elbow, knee B. Pivot (trochoid, or rotary) joints (lateral ginglymus): it is also a monaxial joint, so it is also allows rotation at only one axis, however it rotates along the long axis. A cylindrical bone fits into a ring of bone and ligament, like with the radioulnar joint just below the elbow. The cap on the radius bone fits into this notch on the ulna. Ligaments complete the ring, holding the bone in place and allow the radius only to rotate inside of it. So it allows many different kind of movement rotation, protraction, retraction, twist, flexion, extension, adduction and abduction, which can be external (for example when rotating an arm...

...Type of Joint | Location | Structure | Function | Fibrous | The fibrous joints are sort of connective sutures in the skull and pelvic girdle of the horse. These joints generally allow little to no movement. | Fibrous joints are made up of connective tissue. There is no cavity or space between the bones generally allowing no movement. There 3 types of fibrous joints; sutures, syndesmoses and gomphoses. | These joints are not joints that allow movement between any of the bones within the horses body. These joints are purely just joints that hold other sections of bone together but only structurally such as holding the skull together. | Cartilaginous | The cartilaginous joints are joined by cartilage such as the joint between the sternum and rib and also between vertebrae of the spine. These joints only allow slight movement. | These are joints joined by cartilage to one another. There are two types of cartilaginous joints; synchondrosis and symphyses. The first are found in developing bones usually in young horses and hyaline cartilage covers the end of the bone but the connection is made through fibrocartilage. | These joints allow very little movement but does allow some. These primarily are in place to provide structure, support, stability and protection of the bone. They reduce friction and also acts as a shock absorbed for any sudden blows. | Synovial | These joints meet together in a joint capsule such as where the carpus and radius meet. | These are the only joints...
