Anatomy for Sport and Exercise
Unit 7
What is ANATOMY?
‘Anatomy is the study of the structure and
function of the human body!’
Learning Outcomes for this unit
• To achieve this unit you as a learner must:
– Investigate the structure, function and
development of the skeleton and relate the
structure of joints to the movement they
permit.
– Explain muscle structure including the
physiological basis of muscle fibre contraction
Learning Outcomes for this unit
– Explain how the skeletal and neuromuscular systems act on the skeleton to
produce body movements
– Demonstrate an understanding of the
cardiovascular and respiratory system
Today’s Session
• By the end of today’s session you will be
able to:
– Understand and use some basic anatomical
terminology
– Understand the structure and functions of the
human skeleton

SKELETON
• The human skeleton can be subdivided:
–Axial Skeleton
‘The main axis of a skeleton to which
appendages are attached’
–
It consists of the skull, the vertebral
column, the ribs and the sternum
or breastbone.
SKELETON
• Appendicular skeleton
– The appendicular skeleton consists of
the shoulder and pelvic girdles and all
the bones that are attached to the
girdles – upper and lower limbs
The Skeleton
• Functions of the
skeleton:
–

Support
Protection
Muscle attachment
Leverage
Blood cell production
Calcium storage
