4.2 joints and motion. 4.2 muscles Flashcards
what are joints
the point of contact between elements on a skeleton that are moveable or rigidly fixed together with the supporting parts
what is another name for freely moveable joints
diathroses
what holds diarthrosis together
hyaline cartilage
what is a example of a diarthrosis joint
elbow, shoulder, and ankle
what are three distinguishing features of a synovial joint
- contains synovial fluid
- has a synovial membrane
3.has hyaline cartilage over bone surface
what is the tool used to measure the angles of resulting movement or various joints in the body
gonimeter
extension is?
the unbending movement that increases the angle between the bone of the limb
abduction is?
movement away from the middle line of the body
adduction is?
movement toward the middle line of the body
circumduction is?
one end of the appendage that remains stationary while the other makes circular motion
rotation is?
moving a bone around its axis
depression is?
downwards movement of the scapula or manible
elevation is?
upward movement of the scapula or mandible
dorsiflexion
movement of foot towards the upper surface of the body
plantar flexion
movement of foot towards the ground/ away from body
rule #1 of muscle rules
muscles have at least two attachments and cross at least one joint
rule #2 of muscle rules
muscles always pull and get shorter
rule #3 of muscle rules
the attachment of muscles=insertion, attachment that remains still=origin
rule #4 of muscle rules
muscles decrease angle between=flexor, increase angle=extensions
rule #5 of muscle rules
muscles work in opposing pairs
rule #6 of muscle rules
muscle striations point to the attachments and show direction of pull
the three characteristics of skeletal muscle
voluntary, striated, on bones
the three characteristics of smooth muscle
involuntary, non-striated, arteries-veins-intestines
three characteristics of cardiac muscle
involuntary, striated, walls of heart
why is ATP critical for muscle contractions
it breaks the cross-bridges that free the myosin to get ready for the next contraction
what is the smallest unit of muscle
sarcomere
where are calcium ions released
the sarcoplasmic reticulum
what role does troponin play in muscle contraction
promotes muscle contraction
what role does tropomyosin play in muscle contraction
blocks muscle contraction
movement and example of a hinge joint?
knee, hand, foot ____back and forth movement with connecting only in middle
movement and example of ball and socket joint?
shoulder and hip_____rotation within the socket
movement and example of a pivot joint?
neck/head____rotation, back and forth
movement and example of a condyloid joint?
wrist and elbow___move over surface with bottom connected
movement and example of a plane joint?
between carpal bones and clavical___parts move in unison side to side
movement and example of saddle joint
the upper part of the breast bone____back and forth, bottom bone moves according to the top bone
