BCT ✔✔Behavior Change Techniques- client interventions that are used to change some
determinant of behavior
Stages of Change Model ✔✔precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance
SMART goals ✔✔Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely
Troponin ✔✔protein structure that is important for muscular contractions by providing a binding
state
Neurotransmitters ✔✔chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons
motor function ✔✔The neuromuscular response to the sensory information (like when a person
walks differently from sidewalk to sand)
somatic nervous system ✔✔largely responsible for voluntary control of movement
autonomic nervous system ✔✔the part of the PNS that supplies input to organs (involuntary
processes).
sympathetic nervous system ✔✔"fight or flight"- more excited state
parasympathetic nervous system ✔✔"rest & digest"- more relaxed state
3 primary nervous system functions ✔✔sensory, integrative, motor functions
sensory nervous system function ✔✔ability to sense changes
integrative nervous system function ✔✔interprets sensory info
Proprioception ✔✔our internal sense of body position or orientation
axial skeleton ✔✔skull, rib cage, and vertebral column- aprox 80 bones
appendicular skeleton ✔✔arms, legs, pelvic girdle- aprox 126 bones
Skeletal Depressions ✔✔flattened or indented portions of bone
Skeletal Processes ✔✔Projections from bone where tendons & ligaments can attach
Neuron ✔✔specialized cell; the functional unit of the nervous system
Nucleus ✔✔Control center of the cell- contains majority of genetic material
Organelles ✔✔A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
Mitochondria ✔✔Powerhouse of the cell- uses nutrients to create energy
Electrolytes ✔✔minerals that have an electrical charge (sodium potassium, magnesium, water)
CNS ✔✔central nervous system
PNS ✔✔peripheral nervous system
Afferent Pathway ✔✔pathway that relays information to the CNS from the PNS
muscle spindles ✔✔receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that
change
Golgi tendon organs ✔✔Receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of
that change
Neuroplasticity ✔✔the ability within the brain to constantly change or grow
Neurocircuitry ✔✔Interconnection of neurons in brain & spinal cord
Levers ✔✔Rigid rods where muscles attach
Remodeling ✔✔process that bone is constantly renewed
Osteoclasts ✔✔cells that break down & remove bone tissue
Osteoblasts ✔✔form & lay down new bone tissue
vertebral column ✔✔cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx
Cervical Spine ✔✔c1-c7 (7)
Thoracic Spine ✔✔t1-t12 (12)
Lumbar Spine ✔✔l1-l5 (5)
Sacrum ✔✔5 fused vertebrae
Coccyx ✔✔3-5 small fused bones (tailbone)
Osteokinematics ✔✔bone movement (movement of limb)
Athrokinematics ✔✔joint movement (roll, slide, spin)
synovial joints ✔✔joints with fluid filled capsule
nonaxial joints ✔✔only one movement- either back & forth or side to side
uniaxial joint ✔✔hinge joint (elbow, toe, ankle)
saddle joint ✔✔thumb joint- only carpometacarpal
pivot joint ✔✔base of skull, elbow
ball & socket joints ✔✔most mobile, movement in all three directions (hip, shoulder)
Nonsynovial joints ✔✔little to no movement (sutures of skull)
Ligaments ✔✔Connect bone to bone (torn or stretched =sprain)
Tendons ✔✔Connect muscle to bone (torn or stretched = strain)
3 types of muscles ✔✔skeletal, cardiac, smooth
skeletal muscle ✔✔connects bones, produces movement
cardiac muscle ✔✔makes up the heart
smooth muscle ✔✔makes up tissue of internal organs
fascia ✔✔surrounds muscles, connects them to other muscles
Epimysium ✔✔"deep fascia"
Type 1 muscle fibers ✔✔"slow twitch" resistant to fatigue
Type 2 muscle fibers ✔✔"fast twitch" faster to fatigue
Myofibrils ✔✔contractile components of a muscle cell
Perimysium ✔✔connective tissue that surrounds a fascicle
Endomysium ✔✔wraps around individual fibers within a fascicle
Fascicle ✔✔bundle of fibers within a muscle
sliding filament theory ✔✔series of steps in muscle contraction
atrium (atria) ✔✔each of the two upper chambers in the heart that receives blood INTO the heart
Ventricles ✔✔the two lower chambers of the heart, and they pump blood OUT to the lungs and
body.
Pulmonic side of heart ✔✔Right side; receives deoxygenated blood from body
Systemic side of heart ✔✔Left side; pumps freshly oxygenated blood to body
RHR- Resting Heart Rate ✔✔the number of times your heart beats per minute when at rest (avg
is 60-100 bmp)
Bradycardia ✔✔slow heart rate (below 60 bpm)
Tachycardia ✔✔fast heart rate (above 100 bpm)
3 blood cell types ✔✔red, white, platelets
3 types of blood vessels ✔✔arteries, capillaries, veins
Arteries ✔✔carry blood away from the heart
Capillaries ✔✔The smallest blood vessels, and the site o exchange elements between the blood
and the tissues.
Veins ✔✔carry blood back to the heart
Arterioles ✔✔small arteries
Venules ✔✔small vessels that gather blood from the capillaries into the veins
venous pooling ✔✔accumulation of the blood into the extremities due to low blood flow
systolic pressure ✔✔the upper number in the fraction that measures blood pressure, the pressure
when the heart contracts
diastolic pressure ✔✔the lower number in BP reading, the pressure when heart relaxes ( fills
with blood between beats)
Breathing: inspiration and expiration ✔✔inspiration is inhale, expiration is exhale
Valsalva maneuver ✔✔holding breath during an intense muscle contraction, which can reduce
blood flow to the brain and cause dizziness or fainting (not for people with high BP)
Diffusion ✔✔getting oxygen from environment into the tissues of the body
Tachypnea ✔✔fast breathing, more than 24 breaths per minute
Bradypnea ✔✔slow breathing, fewer than 8 breaths per minute
Dyspnea ✔✔shortness of breath, or labored breathing
intercalated discs ✔✔help hold cardiac muscles together
