Basic Musculoskeletal Anatomy Chapter 2 – Sports Medicine for Sports Trainer Manual

Personal Reflection Using the student worksheet spend 2 minutes to write your personal reflection. Please consider the following. • • • What current knowledge do you have about this module? Where have your pre-conceived ideas come from i. e. training, internet, experience? Do you foresee any knowledge gaps? This is aimed at challenging your thinking and opening you up to new information.

Learning Outcomes • Major anatomical terms. • Identify major skeletal bones of the body. • Explain the function of different joint structures and their respective actions. • Identify major muscles of the body. • Explain the major types of muscle contraction.

Intro to Anatomy Human Tissues Soft Tissue • Skin • Muscle • Tendons • Ligaments • Organs Hard Tissue • Bones

Function Skeleton & Bones • Provide a strong framework for muscles to contract against. • Shape and support the body. • Protect vital organs ie heart, lungs, brain. • Mineral storage. • Blood cell production.

Structure of Joints Most of the joints in the body contain the following structures: • Joint cavity. • Two or more connecting bones. • Cartilage - end of bones. • Joint capsule. • Synovial membrane. • Synovial fluid - lubricates & nourishes cartilage. • Ligaments - connect bones at joint.

The Skeleton Class Exercise Class to stand up for this exercise. Lecturer will say a bone and everyone to point to that bone on their own self. Lecturer will give a brief overview of the purpose of bone.

Head, Skull & Brain

Muscles Function • Move bones. • Stabilise the body (i. e. stomach and hips). Structure • Composed of cells that contract. • Cells are bound into bundles by connective tissue. • Connective tissue extends beyond the muscle to form a tendon. • Extensive blood supply provides oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products.

Tendons Function Attach muscle to bone

Tendons Structure: • Tough bands of cord-like connective tissue surrounded by a sheath. • Fluid is located between the tendon and sheath to prevent wear and ensure smooth movement. • Tendons have a limited blood supply. Common injuries to tendons: • Strain. • Tendonitis. • Rupture. Discuss some of the signs & symptoms.

Muscular System Class Exercise Class to stand up for this exercise: Lecturer will give a brief overview of the purpose of the muscle.

Anatomical Terms Class Exercise Proximal: closer to the trunk than something on the limb. Distal: further from the trunk than something else on the limb. Medial: towards the middle of the body. Lateral: away from the midline of the body. Superficial: towards or close to the surface of the body. Deep: Away from the surface of the body. Participants to describe an injury.

Anatomical Terms Class Exercise Anterior: towards the front e. g. the sternum is on the anterior side of the body. Posterior: towards the back e. g. the scapula is on the posterior side of the body. Superior: towards the head or upper part of the structure. Inferior: towards the back e. g. the liver is inferior to the heart. Participants to describe an injury.

Unit Self Reflection Spend 2 minutes to reflect on this unit and talk to your partner about how you will use your knowledge of anatomy and the body systems within your role as a Sport Trainer. Using your worksheet write your personal reflection of this unit.
