Kinesiology is the scientific study of body movement, applying principles from mechanics and biology. Sagittal: Forward/backward (flexion/extension). Frontal: Side-to-side (abduction/adduction). Transverse: Rotational movement. Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Ki...
Contract to pull on bones; they work in pairs (agonists and antagonists). Connective Tissues: Tendons: Connect muscle to bone (transfer force). Ligaments: Connect bone to bone (provide stability). The observation that a muscle produces the most
Focuses on how "hinge," "ball-and-socket," and "pivot" joints dictate possible ranges of motion. Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Ki...
