3 L1 Anatomical Concepts and Skull Flashcards
Name for place where bones meet
Articulation
What type of tissue joins fibrous joints
Fibrous tissue
3 types of fibrous joints
Suture - Gomphosis - Syndesmosis
Movement and function of fibrous joints
Little to no movement - Designed for stability
Cartilaginous joint structure
Two bones joined by a cartilage pad
Cartilaginous joint movement
Stability + Some movement
Synovial joint structure
Articular surfaces covered in hyaline cartilage - Enclosed by a fibrous capsule - Capsule reinforced with ligamens
Describe the synovial joint capsule
Lined with synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid into the cavity
Synovial joint movement
Usually mobility over stability
HPSECBP
Hinge - Pivot - Saddle - Ellipsoid - Condyloid - Ball and Socket - Plane
Tissue layers from superficial to deep
Skin - Superficial fascia - Deep fascia - Muscle - Bone
How are muscles of the limb arranged
Arranged into compartments that are separated by fascia
3 things that muscles in each compartment have in common
Function - Nerve supply - Blood supply
Describe the 3 -tric movements in terms of gravity
Isometric- equal gravity and resistance
Concentric- Force generated by muscle exceeds force of gravity
Eccentric- Gravity pulls muscle down as resistance decreases
Ramus
Branch off of the body
Condyle
Smooth rounded articular surface
Facet
Small, flattened articular area
Crest
prominent ridge
Spine
Thorn like processes
Fossa
Hollow or depressed area
Fovea
Little pit
Groove or sulcus
Elongated or deepened depression
Tubercle
Small, rounded process
Tuberosity
Knob-like process, larger than tubercle
