Anatomy Exam 3 Flashcards
Synarthrosis
Immovable e.g skull sutures
Diarthrosis
Freely Moveable (elbow)
Amphiarthrosis
Partially Moveable (Pubic Symphysis)
Fibrous Joints: Collagenous
a) sutures- short fibers
b) syndesmosis- long fibers
c) gomphosis- periodontal ligaments anchor the tooth to the jaw
Cartilaginous Joints
a) synchondrosis-hyaline cartilage- Rib 1 to manubrium
b)symphysis- fibrocartillage
(pubic symphysis)
Synovial (Capsular Joints)
Generally: freely moveable joints of the appendicular skeleton
a) parts of one joint
-articular capsule
-fibrous capsule of dense C.T.
-synovial membrane- secretes joint fluid
-articular cartilage
-ligaments (bone-bone)
-tendons (muscle to bone)
-bursae +tendon sheaths with synovial fluid
Types of synovial joints
-Hinge
-Pivot
-Condylar
-Ball+Socket
Hinge Joint
Synovial
-ulna to humerus
-uniaxial
Pivot Joint
Synovial
-proximal ulna- radius joint
-uniaxial
Condylar Joint
Synovial
-metacarpophalangeal joint
-biaxial
Ball+ Socket Joint
Synovial
-shoulder
-multiaxial
Angular- movement
Flexion v.s. Extention
decreases joint angle- flexion
increases joint angle extension
Angular movement
circumduction
making a cone with the limb
Angular movement
Abduction vs Adductuion
abduction- moving away from the midline
adduction- moving towards midline
rotation
medial or lateral rotation
gliding movement
short bones sliding past each other
special movement
opposition of thumb
touching thumbs to tips of other fingers
special movement
pronation vs supination
pronation- radius crosses ulna
supination- forearm bones become parallel
special movement
dorsiflexion vs plantarflexion
dorsiflexion- lift foot up at ankle (flex foot)
plantarflexion- point foot down, stand on toes (point foot)
special movement
inversion vs eversion
inversion- face sole of the foot medially
eversion- face sole of the foot laterally
special movement
retraction vs protraction
retraction- pull back
protraction- Just forward
Shoulder Joint
diarthrotic, synovial, ball+ socket joint
-most freely moveable joint in the body
–head of the humerus in the glenoid of the scapula
hip joint
diarthrotic, synovial, ball+socket
-femoral head into acetabulum
shoulder joint stabilized by
-stabilizes
–glenoid labrum- fibrocartillage
–capsular ligament- e.g. corahumeral ligaments
–biceps brachii tendon
–rotator cuff tendons from supraspinatois m. infraspinatus m. subscapularis m. teres minor m.
hip joint stabilized by
-acetabular labrum
-ligaments
–iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral
-ligamentum teres
Knee joint
diarthrotic, synovial, hinge
-femoral condyles, tibial condyles
-menisci- fibrocartilage pads on tibial condyles
-patellar facets meet femur’s patellar surface
knee ligaments
ACL: Anterior cruciate ligament
PCL: posterior cruciate ligament
LCL: Lateral collateral ligament to fibula
MCL: Medial collateral ligament to tibia
-Patellar ligaments
Types of muscle tissue
Skeletal muscle
Smooth Muscle
Cardiac muscle
Skeletal muscle
striated, multinucleate, voluntary
Cardiac muscle
Intercalated discs, striated, invountentary, uninucleate
smooth muscle
unstriated, uninucleate, involuntary
Active functional characteristics of muscles
Excitability and Contractility
Excitability
Has impulses (ACTIVE)
Contractility
Actively generates force and shortens (ACTIVE)
Passive functional characteristics of muscles
Extensibility and elasticity
Extensibility
Can be stretched (PASSIVE)
Elasticity
passive recoil to rest length after stretch (PASSIVE)
Muscle Functions
-Movement
–of limbs
–of material in hollow organs
-Posture
-Generate Heats
Connective Tissue Wrappings
Fascia, endomysium, perimysium, epimysium
Endomysium
wraps one cell (fiber)
perimysium
wraps one fascicle
epimysium
wraps one muscle
fascia
around multiple muscles
Attachments
Origins vs insertions
origins- proximal anchor to bone
insertions- distal connection to more moveable bone
Attachments made by
tendons, aponeurosis, direct, fleshy attachments
tendons
rope of dense regular C.T.
