Q

The three types of bones in the foot, proximal to distal

A

36
Q

When do bony features develop?

A

During bone growth

37
Q

How does a bony feature mould it’s shape?

A

An adjacent structure applies a force to the developing bone. The adjacent structure is developing at the same time as the bone so the bone has to grow around the other structure.

38
Q

What is the hole called that is formed in the production of a bony feature?

A

A foramen

39
Q

What two components make up the skeleton?

A

Bones and cartilage

40
Q

what type of tissue is bone made up of?

A

hard, connective tissue

41
Q

four functions of bone

A
  • support and protection of the body
  • calcium metabolism
  • red blood cell formation
  • attachment for skeletal muscles
42
Q

Difference in cartilage compared with bone

A

It is less rigid

43
Q

where is cartilage located?

A

where mobility is required (at articulations/ joints)

44
Q

How do bones move?

A

skeletal muscles contract to move the bones

45
Q

what is a tuberosity

A

a large prominence on a bone and is the point where muscles attach

46
Q

name the three types of joint in order of most to least movability

A

synovial, cartilaginous and fibrous

47
Q

why does it hurt so much when a joint is dislocated?

A

there is an excellent sensory nerve supply around joints

48
Q

sensations detected by sensory receptors of the joint nerves are:

A
  • pain
  • touch
  • temperature
  • proprioception
49
Q

what is proprioception?

A

joint position sense. awareness of the position and movement of the body

50
Q

where are skeletal muscles found in relation to deep fascia?

A

skeletal muscles are usually found deep to deep fascia

51
Q

what is fascia?

A

connective tissue outside the epimysium that surrounds and separates msucles

52
Q

what is epimysium?

A

a tough fibrous connective tissue covering

53
Q

the longer the muscle fibres, the —— the —- of ——

A

greater the range of shortening

54
Q

the longer the muscle, the —- the —- of

A

greater the potential range of movement produced at joint

55
Q

fusiform muscles

A

wider and cylindrically shaped in the centre and taper off at the end (biceps brachii)

56
Q

circular muscles

A

circular shape

57
Q

example of circular muscle

A

orbicularis oculi

58
Q

pennate muscle example (obliqueness)

A

deltoid. like feather

59
Q

there are at least how many attachments of skeletal muscle to bone?

A

usually at least 2 points

60
Q

the two attachment points

A

the origins and insertions

61
Q

the only thing a skeletal muscle can do is…

A

move the origin and insertion closer together during contraction as muscle fibres shorten along the long axis

62
Q

muscles —- during contraction

A

shorten

63
Q

what attaches muscle to bone?

A

tendons

64
Q

where are tendons found?

A

found at either end of the msucle

65
Q

are tendons contractile or non-contractile?

A

non-contractile

66
Q

what is an aponeurosis?

A

a flattened tendon most commonly associated with flat muscles and attach to soft tissue rather than bone

67
Q

the direction of movement of the muscle depends on what?

A

it depends on which side of the joint the muscle spans

68
Q

what are protective reflexes?

A

rapid, predictable, involuntary reactions to ‘danger’

69
Q

what are automatic reflexes?

A

movement made unconsciously by nervous system and muscles

70
Q

what are the two main reflexes involving skeletal muscles?

A

the stretch relflex and the flexion withdrawal reflex

71
Q

when does the flexion withdraws reflex happen and what happens?

A

it happens when you touch something potentially damaging and there is a sudden flexion to withdraw from the danger

72
Q

how are reflex reactions so fast?

A

the nerve connections are at spinal cord level so the brain is not involed

73
Q

The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to……..

A

stretching within the muscle via its tendon

74
Q

what is a normal strech flex response?

A

for the muscle to contract

75
Q

what do deep tendon reflexes protect against?

A

overstretching

76
Q

the name of the synapse where the motor nerve communicates with the skeletal muscle

A

the neuromuscular junction

77
Q

the route taken by action potentials in deep tendon reflexes is called the?

A

the reflex arc

78
Q

a normal stretch reflex indicates that what is working properly? (x6)

A
  • the muscle
  • the muscle’s sensory nerve fibres
  • the muscles motor nerve fibres
  • the spinal cord connections between the two
  • the neuromuscular junction
  • descending controls from the the brain
79
Q

Paralysis

A

when there is a muscle without a functioning motor nerve supply and the muscle cannot contract. The muscle would have reduced tone

80
Q

spasticity

A

the muscle has an intact and functioning motor nerve but descending controls from the brain are not working. the muscle would have increased tone

81
Q

what is muscle tone?

A

the tension in a muscle at rest

82
Q

what is atrophy?

A

atrophy is wasting of the muscles as muscle fibres become smaller, reducing muscle bulk

83
Q

what causes atrophy?

A

inactivity due to immobilisation, damage to motor nerve supply or a couch potato

84
Q

muscle hypertrophy?

A

skeletal muscle enlarges as each individual myocyte enlarges

85
Q

what is a myocyte?

A

a muscle fibre

86
Q

what is cell hyperplasia?

A

an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue
