Soft tissue
In MRI bone is always____
grey
Axial
Skull, ribcage and vertebral column
Appendicular
Shoulder, arm, hand, pelvic girdle and lower limbs
Condyle
smooth end of a bone, covered with cartilage that articulates with the condyle of another bone
Epicondyle
Protruding area above or below the condyle for attachments of ligaments
Fossa
A shallow depression
Sulcus
A narrow groove
Tuberosity
A rough projection
Tubercle
Small round projection
Appendicular muscles are supplied by
Nerve plexus
Axial muscles are supplied
segmentally
Hilton’s law
The nerve supplying the muscles extending directly across and acting at a joint also innervates the joint
Histology of Skeletal Muscle (4)
Long slender
Multinucleate
Cross striations
Peripherally placed nuclei
Histology of Smooth Muscle (3)
No cross striations
Mononucleate
Centrally situated nuclei
Histology of Cardiac Muscle (4)
Cross striated
Single central nucleus
Cells are branched
Intercalated sics contain gap junctions
Function of Gap Junctions
allow the muscle cells to contract in synchrony
Ligaments
Bone to bone
Tendons
Muscle to bone
Ventral Ramus

Dorsal Rami=
Mixed to back (erector spinae)
Ventral Rami=
Mixed to all anterior regions of the body
