Functional anatomy

5. the part of the vertebral column that has 12 vertebrae
7. these muscles act around a moveable joint. They aid the agonist (prime move) in the movement.
8. a muscle responsible for creating movement at a joint.
10. this is the long shaft of the bone.
11. they are bone forming cells which lay down new bone tissue. They bring calcium to the bones.
12. rotation, movement taking the leg inwards to turn the outside of the foot forwards.
13. towards the back of the body
14. found in a muscle cell and is important in transmitting the electrical impulse as well as the storage of calcium ions.(Ca2+)

1. these hold the two or more bones making up the joint in place
2. a muscle that stabilises one part of a body while another moves
3. this is the thin outer layer of the bone. It contains nerves and blood vessels that feed the bone.
4. lying down on your back with your face pointing upwards. This can also be applied to your hands, with palms facing upward
6. a muscle that opposes the agonist providing resistance for a coordinated movement.
8. the skeleton that includes the skull, ribcage and vertebral column
9. the functional unit of the Myofibril, divided into I, A and H bands.
13. a function of the ribcage
