Definitions: These will be in a word bank

 Lateral: An injury to the outside of your knee would be to the lateral side

 Origin: A muscle’s origin is where it attaches to the less movable bone

 Posterior: the anatomical term for behind

 Medial: The term for towards the middle of your body

 Proximal: Your elbow is proximal to your wrist

 Physical therapist: A physical therapist can help you regain strength after an injury

 Tendon: A tendon connects a muscle to a bone

 Superior: The anatomical term for above

 Axial: Your spine is part of your axial skeleton

 Distal: Your toes are distal to the ankle

 Occupational therapist: An occupational therapist helps you regain task specific functions

following an injury

 Ligament: A ligament connects two bones together

 Insertion: A muscle’s insertion is where it attaches to the more movable bone

 Grade: Sprains and strains are measured by grades

 Specialist: A doctor that focuses on treating and diagnosing one part of the body is a specialist

Fill in definitions and terms

 An injury to a muscle is a strain

 The thickest and most powerful chamber in the heart is the left ventricle

 If an athlete is in cardiac arrest, their odds of survival drop by 10% for every 1 minute

 Ribs are anchored to the sternum by cartilage

 An injury to a ligament is a sprain

Multiple Choice

 A skull fracture inferior to the eye could occur below the eye

 An injury that causes slight instability is a grade 2 sprain

 A fracture with a bone poking through the skin is a major risk for infection

 An injury that causes no strength is a grade 3 strain

 An injury that is distal to the wrist could occur to the hand/finger

 If an athlete has a scratch on their eye, do not rub the eye

 You skull, ribs, and spine are a part of your axial skeleton

 An injury to a ligament behind the knee would be an injury to a posterior ligament

 If there is no loss in strength or stability, the only grade a sprain or strain could be is grade 1

 A slight loss of strength could be caused by a grade 2 strain

 Cardiac contractions start at the apex of the heart

 Cardiac muscle can continually beat because it has a large amount of mitochondria

 The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs

 The blood vessels that are the thinnest and most delicate are the capillaries

 An athlete cannot control their heartrate

 When you get the “wind knocked out of you” that is caused by a disturbance to the diaphragm

that sits just below the lungs and controls breathing

 If a player has an issue with a backflow of blood, they likely have a value that is not working

correctly

 Multiple concussions back to back put you at risk for second impact syndrome

 Vessels that are supposed to be naturally stretchy and able to handle pressure are arteries

 Ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs

Know the difference between a sign and a symptom

Label the ribs 1 through 12 and identify the cartilage, true ribs, floating ribs, false ribs, and sternum

Label on the ankle: The calcaneus, the metatarsals, the tibia, the fibula, a distal phalange, a medial

phalange, the cuboid, the hallux,
