Students will learn about the skeleton. Following this they will learn about joints and joint actions.This then progresses on to developing an understanding of levers, planes and axes. Next in the unit, students will learn about muscles and muscle actions.
Skeleton, Joints, Joint Actions, Levers, Planes and Axes, Muscles and Muscle Actions.
Movement where limbs are moved away from the midline of the body
Movement where limbs are moved back towards the midline of the body
A type of joint that allows movements in many directions
Long bones produce blood cells
Fluid filled sac that helps reduce friction at a joint
Tough fibrous tissue, surrounds synovial joints, supported by ligaments
Covers the end of bones, provides a smooth surface, reduces friction and acts as a shock absorber
Ligaments that attach the femur to the tibia
When the bones of a joint separate from their usual position
Movement at the ankle where the toes are pulled up
Movement where the angle at the joint increases
Bones that protect organs, sternum, cranium & scapula
Movement where the angle of the joint reduces
Joint that allows flexion and extension
Bones of different sizes e.g. the spine
Place where 2 or more bones meet
Connect bone to bone
The bones of the legs and arms. Long bones support the weight of the body and help with gross movements.
Cartilage acting as a shock absorber
Minerals are stored in bones
Muscles contract to pull the bones of the skeleton.
Movement at the ankle where the toes are pointed
Some bones surround and protect vital organs in place
A measure of flexibility of a joint
Carry oxygen to muscles
Movement along the longitudinal axis of a limb
Bones of the hand / fingers
Bones keep us upright and hold muscles and organs in place
Lubricates the joint
Type of joint commonly found in limbs.
Surrounds the joint and produces synovial fluid
Attaches muscle to bone
Bones that form the spine
Fight infections
Found at the elbow, where the triceps cause extension LFE
Found at the ankle where the gastrocnemius causes plantar flexion ELF
Majority of levers found in the body bicep causing flexion LEF
Prime mover – causes movement
Muscle that relaxes to allow movement
Muscle causes flexion at the elbow
Muscle shortens
Muscle causing flexion at the shoulder
Muscle lengthens
The force applied to move the resistance or load
Cuts the body into front and back halves
The part of the lever system that pivots
Muscle causing plantar flexion at the ankle
Agonists at the hip
Muscles that cause the knee to flex
Agonists at the hips
Muscle action where the muscle stays the same length
Muscle action where the muscle changes length
Muscle causing extension at the shoulder
Axis goes through head to feet
The benefit of having a short or long lever
Muscles that causes extension at the knee
The load to be moved
Group of muscles causing rotation at the shoulder
Axis goes through belly button
Cuts the body into right and left halves
Attach muscle to bone
Muscle causing dorsi flexion at the ankle
Axis goes through hips
Cuts the body into top and bottom halves
Muscle that causes extension at the elbow
Students learn about how the body works in different situations. Through learning more about the human body students should value their body more and aim to maintain or improve health and fitness.
Teacher support through individual tasks and peer support through group work will develop a positive culture in the classroom.
Students will learn about the following topics: Gaseous exchange, the mechanics of breathing, lung volumes, the structure & function of blood vessels, the structure of the heart and the cardiac cycle.
The respiratory system and the cardiac system.
The muscles which help force air out of the lungs
Tiny air sacs found in the lungs
An increase in HR before exercise due to a release of adrenalin
Carries blood away from the heart
Upper chambers of the heart that collect blood from the veins
Carries air from the trachea into the lungs
Carries air from the bronchi to the alveoli
Thin blood vessels that allow gas exchange
Sequence when the heart beats
Relaxation of the heart
The additional air that can be forcibly exhaled after the expiration of a normal tidal volume
Protein found in blood, red in colour
The additional air that can be forcibly inhaled after the inspiration of a normal tidal volume
Pair of large, spongy organs optimised for gas exchange
When oxygen combines with haemoglobin
The volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration
Contraction of the heart
The volume of air breathed in and out during a normal breath at rest
Or windpipe, carries air from the mouth to the lungs
Reducing the diameter of the blood vessels to reduce blood flow
Increasing the diameter of the blood vessels to increase blood flow
Carries blood towards the heart
Lower chambers of the heart that pump blood out through the arteries

Students will learn about the following topics: Aerobic and anaerobic respiration, EPOC, the effects of exercise - immediate, short and long term and finally, recovery.
Warm up, cool down, EPOC, oxygen debt.
In the presence of oxygen
In the absence of oxygen
Slow heart rate / less than 60bpm
Undertaken after exercise to speed up recovery
Involuntary muscle contraction
Delayed onset of muscle soreness
Increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity
Increase in size of muscles / heart
Immersion in cold water
Waste product from anaerobic exercise
Rubbing and kneading of muscles
Feelings of sickness after exercise
Temporary oxygen shortage due to strenuous activity
Replacing lost water and minerals after exercise

Students will learn about the following topics in this unit: The components of fitness, fitness testing, limitations of fitness testing, the principles of training, and the principles of a warm up & cool down.
