GRADE 7 - PE AND HEALTH - FIRST AID

Application of a bandage or dressing to a wound or injury to provide protection, support, and compression. It serves several purposes, including controlling bleeding, immobilizing injured body parts, reducing swelling, and preventing contamination of the wound

• Bandaging

• Cold Compress

• Swelling

This are composed primarily of calcium phosphate and collagen fibers, giving them strength and resilience. They also serve as attachment points for muscles, allowing for movement and locomotion

• Bones

• Tendon

• Muscle

Unlike an ice compress, which typically contains actual ice or frozen gel packs, this may consist of a variety of materials designed to retain cold temperatures, such as gel-filled packs, instant cold packs, or refrigerated items like frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth.

• Hot Compress

• Bandaging

• Cold Compress

Points in the body where two or more bones meet. Joints allow for movement and flexibility in the body.

• Muscle

• Ligaments

• Joints

It is a soft tissue in the body that contracts and relaxes to produce movement. This are responsible for various movements in the body, including voluntary movements such as walking, running, and lifting objects, as well as involuntary movements such as the beating of the heart and the movement of internal organs

• Muscle

• Ligaments

• Joints

The enlargement or puffiness of a body part due to an accumulation of fluid in the tissues. It is also a common response to injury, infection, or inflammation and is often accompanied by pain, redness, and warmth in the affected area

• Swelling

• Fracture

• Dislocation

Is a fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. This are responsible for transmitting the force generated by muscles to the bones, allowing for movement of the joints.

• Muscle

• Tendon

• Bone

A tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones in joints, providing stability and support. Help to prevent excessive movement or dislocation of joints, allowing for smooth and controlled movement.

• Muscle

• Bone

• Ligaments

It is an injury to a ligament caused by stretching the ligament too far or tearing it. A ligament can tear partway or all the way. Ligaments are tough, elastic-like bands that connect bone to bone. They help hold joints in place.

• Swelling

• Strain

• Sprain

It is when a muscle is stretched too much and part of it tears. It is also called a pulled muscle. It can be caused by an accident, overusing a muscle, or using a muscle in the wrong way.
