Body Mechanics
Across
- 3. Extension holding the arm parallel to the floor in front of the body moving it to the side of the body
- 4. movement around a vertical axis
- 5. Arm distance between the fulcrum of a lever and the place where force is applied
- 7. large triangular muscles responsible for moving shoulders and head
- 10. ability for a muscle to contract
- 13. toward the back of the body
- 15. point on which a lever pivots
- 16. ability for a muscle to return to its previous shape after stretching
- 19. above another structure
- 20. movement of top of foot toward the shin
- 21. Flexion holding the arm parallel to the floor and moving it across the body
- 23. below another structure
- 24. lateral movement of only the foot
- 27. Bones bones which are thin and have extensive surface area
- 30. Plane plane which goes from posterior to anterior diving the body into left and right halves
- 34. rotating the wrist medially
- 37. medial movement
- 38. Joints joints made up of condyloid bones in the foot
- 39. Plane plane which goes from left to right dividing the body into posterior and anterior halves
- 40. closer to the middle of the body
- 41. Bones bones which are uniquely shaped
- 42. Bones bones which have similar height and width
- 43. Flexion movement of sole of foot downward
- 45. Muscle muscle in the lower portion of the calf which flexes foot downward
- 48. farther from the point of attachment
- 49. using one leg
Down
- 1. movement bringing shoulders up to ears
- 2. movement which reduces the angle of the joint to less than a 180-degree angle
- 6. movement which results in a joint resting at a 180-degree angle
- 7. measurement of rotational effect of force
- 8. Muscles muscles with long fibers which line up parallel to the length of the muscle
- 9. bone in the upper arm
- 11. Plane plane which divides body into superior and inferior halves
- 12. Muscle muscle in the calf which flexes the knee and foot
- 14. Joints joints which have a space between bones filled with fluid
- 17. movement bringing shoulders away from ears
- 18. Bones bones which form in tendons
- 22. muscle on the front part of the upper arm
- 25. medial movement of only the foot
- 26. closer to the point of attachment
- 28. toward the front of the body
- 29. Joints joints which are held together by cartilage and only slightly moveable
- 31. Bones bones which are longer than they are wide
- 32. irregular bone which makes up the backbone
- 33. Joints joints which are held together by connective tissue and do not move
- 34. Muscles muscles with short fibers arranged at an angle to the length of a muscle
- 35. ability for a muscle to react to stimulation
- 36. farther away from the middle of the body
- 44. lateral movement
- 45. rotating the wrist laterally
- 46. ability for a muscle to elongate
- 47. bone in the forearm
