INTRODUCTION ANATOMY: Anatomy is the study of the structure of human body.

PHYSIOLOGY: Physiology is the study of functions of human body.

MAIN SYSTEMS OF HUMAN BODY
• Skeletal System
• Muscular System
• Digestive System
• Respiratory System
• Nervous System
• Glandular System
• Excretory system
• Reproductive System

IMPORTANCE OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
• Helps in physical fitness.
• Provides knowledge about body structure.
• Helps in selection of games.
• Protects from sports injuries.
• Helps in the process of rehabilitation.
• Helps in maintaining healthy body.
• Helps to know about individual differences.

SKELETAL SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONS

SKELETAL SYSTEM: The skeletal system is the bony framework of our body.

FUNCTIONS OF SKELETAL SYSTEM
• It provides support to the body.
• It gives shape and structure to the body.
• It provides protection to the vital organs of the body.
• It acts as lever.
• It acts as storehouse of minerals.
• It acts as production house of RBC.
• It acts as junction or attachment to skeletal muscle.
• It works as self repair system.

CLASSIFICATION OF BONES
• Long bones
• Short bones
• Flat bones
• Sesamoid bones
• Irregular bones
• Sutural bones

TYPES OF JOINTS
• Immovable or fibrous joints
• Slightly movable or cartilaginous joints
• Freely movable or synovial joints
a. Hinge joint
b. Pivot joint
c. Ball and socket joint
d. Saddle joint
e. Gliding joint

MUSCULAR SYSTEM

PROPERTIES OF MUSCLE
• Muscles are the moving force behind our movements.
• Muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton.
• Muscles give rounded shape to the body.
• Muscles help in the protection of organs with the bones.
• Human body contains more than 650 individual muscles.
• The muscles contribute about 40% of our body weight.

TYPES OF MUSCLES
• Voluntary/skeletal/striated muscle
• Involuntary or smooth or spindle muscle
• Cardiac muscle

FUNCTION OF MUSCLE
• Gives shape and structure to the body.
• Provides protection to the body.
• Helps in fluid movement
• Provides effort (of lever)

STRUCTURE OF MUSCLE: A muscle fibre is made up of myofibrils. Each myofibril consists of protein molecules called actin and myosin.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

RESPIRATION: Respiration is a physical process by which living organism take in oxygen from the surrounding and give out carbon dioxide.

FUNCTIONS OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
• To exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood.
• To produce sound.
• To regulate blood PH.
• To protect against some micro organism.

TYPES OF RESPIRATION
• External respiration
• Internal respiration

MECHANISM OF RESPIRATION: It involves nose, nostrils, lungs, blood and cell through which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged and energy is produced in the body.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM: The transport of material between various parts of body is called circulatory system. It consists of heart, blood vessels, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, veins,
venules and fluid.

STRUCTURE OF HEART: Heart is fist shaped. It consists of four chambers which collect impure/deoxygenated blood from different parts of body and after purification/oxygenation
it sup- plies pure/oxygenated blood to different parts of body through blood vessels.

BLOOD: Blood is a special kind of fluid which acts as a medium of transporting nutrients and gases from one part of body to another.

HEART RATE: It is the number of pumping of heart in one minute.

STROKE VOLUME: It is the volume of blood pumped out by heart in one beat. It is approximately 80 ml/beat in normal adult, whereas trained players have 110 ml/beat as
stroke volume.

CARDIAC OUTPUT: Cardiac Output = stroke volume x heart rate. It is 5 to 6 liters at basal level.

SECOND WIND: The breathlessness caused due to prolonged exercise is removed automatically by our body. It is called as second wind.

OXYGEN DEBT: The amount of oxygen taken by an athlete during the recovery period after strenuous activity is called as oxygen debt.
