Unit 1: Principles of Anatomy and physiology in Sport (Sport DCF)

…or…

Unit 1: Anatomy for Sport & Exercise (Sport & Exercise Sciences)

Unit Introduction

Learning Outcomes

1. You will be able to identify the five main functions of the skeleton.

2. You will be able to describe the functions of a majority of specific bones in the skeleton.

3. You will be able to write at least 1 paragraph on the different functions of the skeleton

4. You will start to become familiar with the anatomical terms for bones!

Activity 1 (Paired task)

What do we already know about anatomy and physiology?

A GAME OF SCATTEGORIES…

Write the alphabet on a piece of paper. You will have 2 minutes to write as many words as possible that you can think of to do with anatomy or physiology.

Any questions?

On your marks…set…GO!

You will now compete against the other teams to see who got the most words.

What does our skeleton do?

Support

The skeleton acts as a framework.

Can you imagine what humans would look like if

they didn’t have bones to support them?

Movement

Muscle

Tendon

Periosteum

Bone

Movement

Protection

Can you think of two reasons why the rib cage has gaps in it

rather than being a solid shell of bone?

in spongy

bone

Blood Composition

Red Blood cells

Also referred to as Erythrocyte - these …?

White blood cells

Act in various ways to protect the body – they form a…?

Platelets

Are cell fragments – they help to…?

Storage of minerals

Bone is a reservoir for minerals

These stored minerals are released into the

bloodstream – they are need for …?

Activity 2 (Paired task)

Watch the video using the QR code or interactive board.

In pairs, make notes on the following:-

1. The functions of the skeletal system

2. Key anatomical terms (e.g. the names of the bones)

3. Key processes and anything else you think is important!

PICK 3 KEY POINTS AND USE THESE IN THE COMPETITION

YOU GET 1 POINT FOR STATING AN ACCURATE FACT OR TERM, YOU GET 2 POINTS FOR STATING A FACT THAT NO-OTHER TEAM HAS!

YouTube - introduction to

the role of the Skeletal

System

Clavicle

Commonly

called the

collarbone, is a

slender S-

shaped bone

that connects

the upper arm

to the trunk of

the body.

Ribs

The ribs are thin, flat,

curved bones that form a

protective cage around

the organs in the upper

body.

Scapula

The scapula is a large,

triangular, flat bone on the back

side of the rib cage commonly

called the shoulder blade.

Pelvic Girdle

The Pelvic Girdle is composed to two

coxal (hip) bones.

The coxal bones are also called

innominate bones.

Patella

The patella or kneecap is a

large, triangular sesamoid bone

between the femur and the

tibia.

Activity 3 (Team task)

To help you with this task you will need post-it notes and a diagram of the skeleton (here/use the QR code)

A&P resource

Identify the following roles in your team:1. Skeleton model2. Researcher3. Post-it assistants

Write the anatomical names of the bones on a post-it note and put on your model! You get 2 practice rounds before the competition.

On your own

Without using your notes, write a paragraph on atleast two of the functions of the skeleton.

Remember to include:

• A definition of the function• A description of what that definition means in

your own words• Relate the function to an example of a bone• Explain the use of this function in a sport

Activity 4 (Individual task)

Terms for locations (Worksheet/additional task)

Locations

• To the front or in front

• To the rear or behind

• Towards the mid-line

• Away from the mid-line

• Near to the root of origin

• Away from the root of origin

• Above

• Below
