    Activity #3
    SCIENCE OF HUMAN MOVEMENT

    1. Define and explain Science of Human Movement.

    • The Science of Human Movement, often referred to as Kinesiology or Exercise


    Science, is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the study of human movement
    and physical activity. It encompasses various aspects of the human body's ability
    to move, including biomechanics, physiology, motor control, psychology, and
    sociology. Kinesiologists study the physical, physiological, and psychological
    factors that influence human movement, as well as the relationship between
    movement and health. This field seeks to understand and optimize human
    performance, enhance health and well-being, and prevent or rehabilitate injuries
    related to physical activity and movement. The science of human movement is a
    rapidly growing field, and there are many new and exciting research areas being
    explored. For example, kinesiologists are currently studying the effects of exercise
    on the brain, the role of genetics in movement disorders, and the use of virtual
    reality to improve rehabilitation. Overall, the Science of Human Movement plays a
    vital role in enhancing our understanding of how the human body moves, adapts,
    and responds to physical activity. This knowledge is applicable in diverse fields,
    including sports performance, physical therapy, exercise prescription, and public
    health initiatives aimed at promoting active lifestyles and preventing physical
    inactivity-related health issues.
    2. What are the components of the body that cause human beings to move? Give the
    importance of each component?

    • The musculoskeletal system (locomotor system) is a human body system that


    provides our body with movement, stability, shape, and support. The
    musculoskeletal system is made up of:
    ➢ Bones – Bones of all shapes and sizes support your body, protect
    organs and tissues, store calcium and fat and produce blood cells.
    Bones provide structure and form for your body. They work with
    muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues to help
    you move. Without bones, the human body would not have a definite
    shape or structure.
    ➢ Cartilage – A type of connective tissue, cartilage cushions bones in
    joints, spine, ribcage, nose, ears, pelvis, and lungs, providing firm,
    rubbery protection against rubbing.
    ➢ Joints – Bones come together to form joints. Some joints have a
    large range of motion, such as the ball-and-socket shoulder joint.
    Other joints, like the knee, allow bones to move back and forth but
    not rotate. Without joints, our bodies would resemble a collection of
    disconnected bones if they lacked joints. We won’t be able to do
    things like bending and stretching without the joints.
    ➢ Muscles – Each muscle is made of thousands of stretchy fibers.
    Your muscles allow you to move, sit upright, and stay still. Without
    muscles, our body would not be able to move or perform any physical
    tasks. Muscles are responsible for movement and providing support
    to our bones and organs. Without them, our bodies would not be able
    to function properly.
    ➢ Ligaments – Made of tough collagen fibers, ligaments connect
    bones and help stabilize joints. One can and should extra care of
    their ligaments to avoid injuries such as sprains and dislocation.
    ➢ Tendons – Tendons connect muscles to bones. Made of fibrous
    tissue and collagen, tendons are tough but not very stretchy. This
    enables us to move, and ligaments assist things in place.

    3. What are the different body regions and body planes? Identify and give its parts.

    The Anatomical Regions of the Body


    • The human body’s numerous regions have their own term in order to identify the
    body precisely. It is also divided into axial and perpendicular or what you call the
    two major portions in the body.
    The Axial (Center) body’s main regions are:

    A. HEAD AND B. THORAX C. ABDOMEN


    NECK

    Cephalic (Head) Axillary (armpit) Abdominal (abdomen)

    Cervical (Neck) Costal (ribs) Gluteal (buttocks)

    Cranial (Skull) Deltoid (shoulder) Inguinal (bend of hip)

    Frontal (Forehead) Mammary (breast) Lumbar (lower back)

    Nasal (Nose) Pectoral (chest) Pelvic (area between hip bones)

    Occipital (Base of the Scapular (shoulder Perineal (area between anus and
    Skull) blade) external genitalia)

    Oral (Mouth) Sternal (breastbone) Pubic (genitals)

    Vertebral (backbone) Sacral (end of vertebral column)

    The Appendicular (upper and lower extremities) body’s main regions are:

    A. UPPER EXTREMITY B. LOWER EXTREMITY

    Antebrachial (forearm) Crural (shin, front of lower leg)

    Antecubital (inner elbow) Femoral (thigh)

    Brachial (upper arm) Patellar (front of knee)

    Carpal (wrist) Pedal (foot)

    Cubital (elbow) Plantar (arch of foot)

    Digital (fingers/toes) Popliteal (back of knee)

    Manual (hand) Sural (calf, back of lower leg)

    Palmar (palm) Tarsal (ankle)


    The Anatomical Planes of the Body
    • Coronal (frontal plane): separates the front (anterior) and back (posterior) of the
    body.
    ➢ A vertical sheet that cuts through the side of your body and separates the
    front from the back

    • Sagittal (longitudinal) plane: separates the left and right sides of the body.
    ➢ Your body's front to back is divided into left and right halves by a vertical
    sheet.
    ➢ The median sagittal plane is a sagittal plane that divides the body into equal
    halves along its middle.

    • Transverse (axial) plane: separates the upper (superior) and lower (inferior)
    halves of the body
    ➢ Your body is divided into an upper and lower half by a horizontal sheet
    called the axial (transverse) plane that passes through your torso.

    4. Provide an illustration/image/drawing or picture with labeled parts in your activity


    for both the regions and the planes of the body.
