bones and muscles 3 Flashcards
Excessive uric acid levels in blood.
Uric acid comes from breakdown of purines inside body.
Found in drinks and foods such as: beer, wine, beans, anchovies, and peas.
When too much uric acid accumulates in bloodstream it forms crystals.They get deposited in many tissues, involving several joints in body.
Most common appendage affected-Big Toe
Gouty Arthritis (Gout)
Facts About Gouty Arthritis
May effect-elbows, ankles, knees, wrists, and fingers.
Symptoms-sharp pain, redness, tenderness, and swelling of affected joint.
Symptoms-usually appear at night.
Pain unbearable and worse with movement
Men have increased risk of disease
A joint that anchors a tooth to its socket. Line upper and lower jaw in each tooth socket.
Gomphosis
Facts About Gomphosis
Known as peg and socket joints
Each tooth has bony protrusions (pegs) that latch into the socket with assistance of the gomphosis.
This joint is synarthrosis(joint with little or no movement)
Disorder that can affect gomphosis-Scurvy
Scurvy-teeth and gums dissolve
Muscle that makes up majority of buttocks. Larges muscle in body
Gluteus Maximus
Facts about Gluteus Maximus
Main Action-Extend thigh @ the hip to assist in lateral rotation of the upper leg.
Also, extendor of pelvis that goes to thigh.
Helps support trunk.
Many people consider it to be strongest muscle.
Type of joint in which the articulating surface of the involved bones are flat or only slightly curved.
The unique flat shape of the articulating surfaces let bones slide over one another
Allowing a large range of motion.
(ex: joints in spine, wrist, foot and clavicle)
Gliding Joints (Plane Joints)
Skeletal Muscle and other tissue produce this even while at rest. The body creates this as it breaks down carbs to produce energy.
Lactic Acid
Facts About Lactic Acid
The acid only becomes an issue when there are large amount of it.
This can happen when there is not enough oxygen in body to completely break down glucose during physical activity.
Lactic Acid-known as 2-hydrooxypropanoic or milk acid compound formed when glucose broken down under certain conditions.
Important part of producing energy for strenuous exercise @ helps with certain liver functions.
Can cause burning sensations in muscles
Characteristic shared by nerve cells; the ability to respond to a stimulus
Excitability
Movement in which the angle between 2 adjoining bones is decreased as in flexion or increase as in extension.
Angular Movements
When you move your arm from an extended position (away from body) down, close to the side and close to midline
Adduct the Arm
Consists of a ball (head) at the end of one bone and a socket in an adjacent bone, into which a portion of the ball fits.
This type of joint allows for a wide range of movement in almost any direction
(ex: shoulder @ hips)
Ball-and-Socket Joints
a 2-Headed muscle. Lies on upper arm between shoulder and elbow on front of arm
Responsible for 2 Actions
1. Elbow Flexion
2. Forearm Rotation-act of turning forearm palm-up
Biceps Brachii
Are created through the constriction of muscles and the effect that has on the skeleton.
Gives us insight into how people sit, stand, walk, jump, run, etc.
Is used in human factors work to help represent what the human body is capable of.
Body Mechanics
The quality of moving freely or being mobile
Complete Mobility
Allows muscle to shorten with force, to lengthen passively and to move
Contractility
