18
Q

Skeletal Muscle Outline

A

Parallel fiber bundles with stripped pattern. Capable of powerful Contractions. Voluntarily controlled

19
Q

Smooth Muscle Outline

A

Elongated fibres with no patterns. Found in tupe walls (eg:Blood Vessels). Involuntarily controlled

20
Q

Cardiac Muscle Outline

A

Branching network of individual cells, working as unit, stripped pattern. Involuntary control. Fatigue Resistant

21
Q

Skeletal System Composition

A

Bones cartilage and joints. Axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum) and Appendicular Skeleton ( limbs and girdles)

22
Q

Bone (def.)

A

Calcified connective tissue, forma majority of skeleton

23
Q

Bone Functions

A

Support, vital organ protection, mineral reservoir (calcium, phosphorus), levers for movement, blood production

24
Q

Bone Tissue Types

A

Compact (dense bone outer shell) + Spongy (bone spicules enclosing marrow)

25
Bone Types
Tubular (long, limbs), Cuboidal (wrist + ankle), flat (skull), irregular (face), sesamoid (within tendon)
26
Periosteum Def.
Fibrous connective tissue bones are covered with
27
Vertebrae
Cervical (7), Thoracic (12), Lumbar (5), Sacral (5), Coccygeal (3/4 fused)
28
Cartilage (def.)
Avascular connective tissue. Nourished by diffusion
29
Cartilage (functions)
Smooth surface for joint movement, long bone development, soft tissue support
30
Cartilage Types
Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage
31
4 Types of Joints
Fibrous, Primary Cartilaginous, Secondary Cartilaginous, Synovial
32
Fibrous Joint
Bones joined by collagen. Sutures between skull bones and syndesmosis (ankle joint)
33
Primary Cartilaginous Joints
Hyaline cartilage between 2 bones. Strong. Eg: Birth Plates
34
secondary cartilages joint typical location
midline
35
Secondary Cartilaginous Joints
2 layers of Hyaline Cartilage with a fibrocartilaginous disc embedded in them between 2 bones. Located on bone's articular surface. Eg pubic symphysis
36
Synovial Joints
Hyaline Articular Cartilage, Capsule, Joint Cavity, Synovial membrane. Connections between bones separated by a narrow cavity. Enables ligament movement
37
Synovial Joints Types
Plane, Hinge, Pivot, Bicondylar (modified hinge joint), condylar, saddle, ball + socket
38
Plane Function + Example
Sliding movements. Eg: Acromioclavicular joint
39
Hinge Function + Example
Movement around 1 axis passing transversely through joint. Eg: Elbow
40
Pivot Function + Example
Allows movement around 1 axis that passes longitudinally along bone shaft. Eg; Atlanto-axial joint
41
Bicondylar
Allows movement mostly in 1 axis with some movement in the other. Eg; knee joint
42
Condylar
Allows movement in 2 axises at right angles to eachother. Eg: wrist
43
Saddle
Movement in 2 axes perpendicular to each other. Articulating surfaces are saddle shaped.
