2. Sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion in body tissues






3. Projections protruding from the bone where muscles - tendons - and ligaments can attach.






4. A dense membrane composed of fibrous connective tissue that closely wraps (invests) all bone - except that of the articulating surfaces in joints - which are covered by a synovial membrane.

6. Number of vertebrae in the cervical - thoracic - and lumpar spine






7. A system of organs (the lungs and respiratory passageways) that collects oxygen from the external environment and transports it to the bloodstream






8. The deepest layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers.






9. Biceps - triceps - iliac crest - subscapular






10. Deltoid






11. Moves predominantly in 2 planes of motion - only carpometacarpal






12. Examples of short bones






13. The material or substance on which an enzyme acts






14. Only moves in sagittal plane...elbow joint






15. Used in the treatment of various psychiatric and emotional disorders...either increases or maintain heart rate - either maintains or decreases bp






16. Gluteus medius - maximus - vastus medialis oblique






17. Compliments typically have an evaluative judgment implicit within them. Compliments usually begin with "i" statements...






18. The process of actively or passively relaxing the inspiratory muscles to move air out of the body






19. Full-body pushup calf raise -- resistance is in the middle with the fulcrum and effort on either side (wheelbarrow-like) -- ball of foot is the fulcrum - the body weight is the resistance - and the effort is applied by the calf musculature






20. People in this stage have maintained change for 6 months or more






21. Small terminal branches of an artery - which end in capillaries






22. The central cavity of bone shafts where marrow is stored.

24. Energy storage an transfer unit within the cells of the body






25. The shaft portion of the long bone.






26. Organic compounds of carbon - hydrogen - and oxygen - which include starches - cellulose - and sugars - and are an important source of energy. all carbs are eventually broken down in the body to glucose - a simple sugar.






27. regulation mechanism of the blood






28. The end of long bones - which is mainly composed of cancellous bone - and house much of the red marrow involves in red blood cell production. They are also one of the primary sites for bone growth.






29. The combo and interrelation of the nervous - muscular - and skeletal systems






30. Sutures of the skill...little or no movement






31. Precontemplation - contemplation - preparation - action - maintenance






32. Healthy total cholesterol level






33. Nerves that serve the outer areas of the body and skeletal muscle and are largely responsible for the voluntary control of movement






34. Composed of skeletal structures (bones) and soft tissues (muscles) that work together to allow proper respiratory mechanics to occur and help pump blood back to the heart during inspiration






35. Flattened or indented portions of bone - which can be muscle attachment sites.






36. Supplies neural input to the involuntary systems (heart - digestive systems - and endocrine glands) of the body
