Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

15.4K
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,...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.2K
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,...

Movement Joints in Buildings

339
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...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

3.8K
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...

Power System Three-Phase Short Circuits

531
Determining the subtransient fault current in a power system involves representing transformers by their leakage reactances, transmission lines by their equivalent series reactances, and synchronous machines as constant voltage sources behind their subtransient reactances. In this analysis, certain elements are excluded, such as winding resistances, series resistances, shunt admittances, delta-Y phase shifts, armature resistance, saturation, saliency, non-rotating impedance loads, and small...

Short-distance Transport of Resources02:12

Short-distance Transport of Resources

17.6K
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

A short essay on posture and movement

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry

    Summary

    Posture is a distinct physiological function, not just a component of movement. Physiological movement involves more than a series of postures, challenging traditional definitions in biomechanics and kinesiology.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Kinesiology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Traditional views often define physiological movement as a series of postures.
    • The role of posture in relation to movement requires re-examination.
    • Existing definitions may oversimplify the complexity of human motion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate traditional statements on the relationship between posture and movement.
    • To establish posture, or postural activity, as a primary physiological function.
    • To differentiate between general physiological movement and movement specific to postural function.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis and re-examination of established biomechanical and physiological principles.
    • Critique of definitions of physiological movement based on 'series of postures' or 'change of posture'.

  • Distinction between voluntary movement and postural activity.

    • Main Results:

    • Posture should be recognized as a distinct physiological function, not merely a component of movement.
    • Expressions like 'series of postures' do not adequately define general physiological movement.
    • Such expressions are only valid for describing movement integral to the postural function.

    Conclusions:

    • Physiological movement, particularly voluntary movement, transcends a simple sequence of postures.
    • The significance of voluntary movement is typically not postural.
    • A revised understanding of posture and movement is necessary in biomechanics and kinesiology.
