Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

13.7K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

4.1K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

Movement Joints in Buildings

483
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

5.4K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Kinetic Energy00:23

Kinetic Energy

35.8K
Kinetic energy is the ability of an object in motion to do work or enact change. It can take on many forms. For instance, water flowing down a waterfall has kinetic energy. In biological systems, particles of light travel and are absorbed by plants to create chemical energy. Animals consume the chemical energy and give off molecules that carry their scent through the air. They also generate kinetic energy when they run away from predators. Entire systems also possess kinetic energy, like the...

Newton's First Law: Introduction

27.6K
Motion draws our attention. Motion itself can be beautiful, causing us to marvel at the forces needed to create spectacular sights, such as that of a dolphin jumping out of the water, the flight of a bird, or the orbit of a satellite. The study of motion is kinematics, but kinematics only describes the way objects move—their velocity and acceleration. Dynamics considers the forces that affect the motion of moving objects and systems. Newton's laws of motion are the foundation of...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical science
  • Developmental biology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Movement is fundamental for joint development in utero and throughout life.
  • Individual development mirrors species evolution, with movement, exercise, and neuromuscular development as central themes.
  • Skeletal changes are closely linked to aging processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the emergence of disease patterns and the aging process.
  • To identify factors influencing morbidity and mortality.
  • To emphasize the therapist's role in exercise for prophylaxis and therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on movement, aging, and disease.
  • Analysis of the relationship between skeletal changes and age.
  • Discussion of the evolving role of therapists in exercise interventions.

Main Results:

  • Movement patterns established early in life are repeated throughout lifespan.
  • Aging significantly impacts skeletal structure and function.
  • Exercise is a critical factor in managing morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Therapists are essential experts in exercise, providing both prophylactic and therapeutic benefits.
  • Opportunities for exercise-based interventions extend beyond traditional clinical settings.
  • Understanding the lifelong impact of movement is key to promoting health and preventing disease.
