A+P 8-9 Flashcards
articulation
place where two bones come together.
freely movable, limited, or no apparent movement
What are the three ways articulations are named
according to bones, parts united
according to only one of bones
by latin equivalent of common name
how are joints classified
fiberous, cartilege, synovial.
what are fiberous joints
synarthrosis-
have little or no movement
united by fibrous connective tissue
no joint cavity
what are the types of fiberous joints
sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses
what are sutures
seams found between bones of the skull
What is the sutural ligament
two periostea and connective tissue
what is synostosis
fully ossified suture. two bones grow together across a joint to form a single bone
what is syndesmoses
slightly movable type of fiberous joint
bones are father apart than in suture joints
joints of mandible and maxillae
specialized
pegs fit into sockets
what is gomphoses
peridontal ligaments
keep teeth in place- connective tissue bundles between teeth and sockets
cartilegous joints
united by hyaline cartilege or fibrocartilege
what are the two types of cartilegoues joints
synchondroses
symphyses
what is synchondroses
hyaline cartilege
little or no movement
temprary
costochondral joints develop into synovial joints
what is symphyses
fibrocartilege
slightly movable
what are the six types of synovial joints
plane, saddle, hinge, pivot, ball and socket, ellipsoid.
what is the only change in the symphysis
pregnancy- becomes more stretchable
joint can relax some
joint goes back to original condition
what are the characteristics of synovial joints
synovial fluid
considerable movement
complex
most joints of the appendicular skeleton.
what is articular cartilege
smooth surface- where bones meet
what is the joint cavity
encloses articular surfaces
what is joint capsule
space around articular surfaces of bones in synovial joint
what is fiberous capsule
outer layer of joint capsule
what is synovial membrane
membrane lines inside of joint capsule
a prominent area of adipose tisse, lie between fiberous capsule and synovial membrane. cushion around joint.
what are fat pads
what are two parts of joint capsule
fiberous capsule
synovial membrane
what is bursae
pockets of synovial membrane
provides cushion between structures
what is purpose of articular discs
improve stability reduce wear on articular cartilege
what are menisci
fibrocartilaginous pads
what are tendon sheaths
synovial sacs surrond tendons
what is plane joint
two flat bonee surfaces of about equal size between which gliding motion occurs
unaxial
intervertebral
what is saddle joint
consists of two saddle shaped articulating surfaces oriented at right angle so complementary surfaces articulate
biaxial
what is ahinge joint
uniaxial
convex cylinder in one bone, corresponding concavity in the other.
what is pivot joints
unaxial. rotation around a single axis
cylindrical bony process rotating within a circle of bone and ligament
dens of axis and atlas, proximal radioulnar.
what is ball joint
multiaxial
wide range of movement
what is ellisoid joint
modified balla nd socket
articular surfaces are ellipsoid
biaxial
atlantooccipitial
what are the three types of movement3
gliding
angular
circular
what is angular movement
involve change in angle between bones in joint
what are the two types of angular movement
flexion/extension
abduction and adduction
what are the two types of flexion
hyperextension
plantar and dorsiflexion
what is hyperextension
extension of joint beyond anatomical position
what is plantar
walking o heals
what is flexion
bending movement that decreases angle of joint to bring articulating bones together
what is extension
straightening movement increase angle of joint to straighten articulating bones
what are three types of circular movement
rotational
pronation
circumduction
what is abduction
take awat from midline
what is adduction
bring toward midline
what is a rotation
turning of a structure on its long axis
what are two types of rotation
medial
lateral
what are the ypes of special movement
elevation and depression protraction and retraction excursion opposition inversion and eversion
what is elevation
moves structure superiorly or inferiorly
what is protraction
gliding motion moving structure anterioirly or posteriorly
what are two types of excursion
lateral
medial
what is opposition
thumb and finger are brought together or apart
what is inversion
turns ankles toward midline or return to AP
what is range of motion
describes the amount of mobility
what is active and passive motion influenced by
the shape of articular surfaces strength location of ligaments and tendons location of muscles associated with joint fluid or pain in and around joint use of joint
what is dislocation
occurs when articulating surfaces of bones are moved out of proper alignment
what is subluxation
partial dislocation
what is glenoid labrum
rim of fibrocartilage around the glenoid cavity.
rotator cuff
four muscles add stability to the joint
what are the three parts of the knee joint
menisci
cruciate ligaments
collateral ligaments
what is the menisci
fibrocartilage articular disks build up in the margins of the tibia and deepen the articular surface
traditionally considered a modified hinge joint but actually a complex ellipsoid joint
what is anterior cruciate ligament
prevents anterior displacement of tibia
what is posterior cruciate ligament
prevents posterior displacement
what is purpose of collateral ligaments
helps strenghen joint
what is a sprain
damaged ligaments, inflammation, swelling, pain.
what are the effects of aging on the joints
tissue repair slows rate of new blood vessels decreases articular cartilege wears down matrix becomes more rigid production of synovial fluid declines ligaments and tendons become shorter less flexiable muslces around joints weaken decreased activity
what is arthritus
inflammation of any joint
what ajre the two kind sof arthritus
osteoarthritis
rheumatoid
what is the ankle joint
talocrucal- highly modified hinge joint formed by two articulations
what is purpose of the arches of the ankle
hold bones in proper relationshiop as segments of arch and provide ties across arch
what is plantar fasciitis
inflammation of plantar fascia.
what are the functions of the muscular system
body movement maintenence of posture respiration production of body heat communication constriction of organs and vessels heart beat
what are the properties of muscles
contractility
excitability
extensibility
elasticity
contractility
muscle shortens with force or contract
excitability
respond to a stimulis
extensibility
muscle can be stretched beyond its normal resting length and still contract
elasticity
recoil to original resting lenght after stretched.
what are the three types of muscle tissue
skeletal- voluntary- locamotion, facial expression, posture, respirations
smooth- involuntary
cardiac- involuntary
what are the characteristics of smooth muscle
walls- hollow organs, blood vessels, glands skin.
some functions: propel urine, mix food, pupils, regulate blood flow
some is autorhythmic
control- endocrine and autonomic nervous systems.
what are characteristics of cardiac
heart
autorhythmic
control- endocrine and autonomic nervous systems.
what are the connective tissue layers
sarcolemma- surronds muscle cell
endomysium- also around muscle cell
perimysium- denser CT surronding group of muscle fibers
epimysium- CT that surronds whole muscle
what is fascia
connective tissue sheet
what is endomysium
delicate layer tissue that seperates individual muscle fibers within fasicle
what is epimysium
layer of dense irregular connective tissue, protein fibers gradually merge with muscular fascia.
what is muscular fascia
layers of connective tissue between adjacent muscles and between muscles and skin.
what are the characteristics of fascia
forms layer under skin hold muscles together separates them into functional groups allows free movement or muscles carries nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic continuous with tendons and periosteum
what are motor neurons
stimulate muscle fibers to contract
what are axon branches
each muscle fiber is innervated
what are myofilaments
threadlike, protein
what are sarcomeres
repeating units of myofilaments
myoblasts
fusion of several hundred embryonic cells
tropomyosin
long protein covers active binding sites on actin
troponin
binds to actin, tropomyosin, and Ca++
tropomyosin
regulates the interaction of active sites on actin
what does striated mean
alternating light and dark bands of muscle fibers
what are myosin heads
binds to active sites on actin- forms cross bridges
hinge region- bends during contraction
breaks down ATP releasing energy.
what are sacromeres
highly ordered units, structural and functional units of skelteal muslces
what is hypertrophy
enlargement
what happens in a sliding filament model
actin and myosin do not change lenght
shortening sacromeres leads to skeletal muscle contraction
relaxation- sacromeres lenghten by antagonistic muscles.
