Q

what is aponeurosis?

A

flattened tendon- flat muscles

22
Q

what are the 2 main relflxes involving skeletal muscles?

A

stretch reflex
flexion withdrawal relfex

reflexes are protective agasint overstretching

23
Q

what is paralysis?

A

a muscle without a functioning motor nerve supply is “paralysed”

muscle would have reduced tone

24
Q

what is spasticity?

A

the muscle has an intact and functioning motor nerve but the descending controls from the brain are not working

the muscle would have increased tone

25
Q

what is muscular atrophy?

A

‘wasting’ of the muscles
muscle fibres (myocytes) become smaller, reducing the muscle’s bulk

-due to inactivity

26
Q

what is muscle hypertrophy?

A

skeletal muscles enlarge
each individual myocyte enlarges

27
Q

what is a facet joint?

A

between articular processes of 2 adjacent vertebrae

28
Q

C1 vertebrae is also known as

A

ATLAS

no body or spinous process

29
Q

C2 vertebrae is also known as

A

AXIS

has ontoid process- surpeiror projection

Q

C7 vertebrae is also known as

A

vertebrae prominens

31
