Ch 61 Asses Muscuskeletal Flashcards
bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and bursae.
musculoskeletal system is composed of voluntary muscle and 6 types of connective tissue:
is to protect body organs, provide support and stability for the body, store minerals, and allow coordinated movement.
purpose of the musculoskeletal system
support, protection of internal organs, voluntary movement, blood cell production, and mineral storage. Bones provide the supporting framework that keeps the body from collapsing
main functions of bone are
to bones by tendons.
Muscles are connected
Movement occurs because of muscle contractions applied to these levers.
Bones act as a lever for muscles.
to joints.
Ligaments provide stability
for making red and white blood cells
Bone marrow contains hematopoietic tissue responsible
calcium and phosphorus.
Bones serve as a storage site for inorganic minerals, including
Bones contain (organic material & inorganic mat)
It contains both organic material (collagen) and inorganic material (calcium, phosphate).
cortical (compact and dense) or cancellous (spongy).
Bone is classified according to structure as
, cylindrical structural units called osteons (Haversian systems) fit closely together to create a dense bone structure
In cortical bone (classification of bone)
Surrounding each osteon are concentric rings known as lamellae, which indicate mature bone. Smaller canals (canaliculi) extend from the Haversian canals to the lacunae, where mature bone cells are embedded.
lamellae
L red or yellow marrow. Blood reaches the bone cells by passing through spaces in the marrow.
Cancellous bone is filled with
osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts.
types of bone cells are
organic bone matrix (collagen) and are the basic bone-forming cells.
Osteoblasts synthesize
are mature bone cells.
Osteocytes
take part in bone remodeling by helping in the breakdown of bone tissue.
Osteoclasts
is the removal of old bone by osteoclasts (resorption) and the deposit of new bone by osteoblasts (ossification).
Bone remodeling
the epiphysis, diaphysis, and metaphysis
Each long bone consists of
, the widened area at each end of a long bone, is made mostly of cancellous bone.
epiphysis
primary location of muscle attachment. Articular cartilage covers the ends of the epiphysis. It provides a smooth, low-friction surface for joint movement.
Epiphysis. Function
is the main shaft of the long bone. It provides structural support and is composed of cortical bone. The tubular structure of the diaphysis allows it to withstand bending and twisting forces more easily.
diaphysis
is the flared area between the epiphysis and diaphysis. Like the epiphysis, it is composed of cancellous bone.
metaphysis
is the cartilaginous area between the epiphysis and metaphysis. In skeletally immature children who still have open growth plates, the epiphyseal plate actively makes chondrocytes that become mature bone. Division of the chondrocytes causes longitudinal bone growth in children.
epiphyseal plate (physis or growth plate)
in the center of the diaphysis contains either red or yellow bone marrow.
medullary (marrow) cavity
the pelvis, skull, sternum, cranium, ribs, vertebrae, and scapulae, and cancellous (“spongy”) bone at the epiphyseal ends of long bones, such as the femur and humerus.
In adults, red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones, such as
yellow bone marrow (mainly adipose tissue).
the adult, the medullary cavity of long bones contains
to shape as long, short, flat, or irregular.
Bone classified according
have a central shaft (diaphysis) and 2 widened ends (epiphyses)
-Examples include the femur, humerus, and tibia.
Examples Long bones
cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. Examples include the carpals in the hand and tarsals in the foot.
Short bones are composed of
separated by a layer of cancellous bone. Examples include the ribs, skull, scapula, and sternum. The spaces in the cancellous bone contain bone marrow
Flat bones have 2 layers of compact bone
shapes and sizes. Examples include the sacrum, mandible, and ear ossicles
Irregular bones appear in a variety of
is a place where the ends of 2 bones are close and move in relation to each other.
A joint (articulation)
the degree of movement that they allow
Joints are classified by
freely movable diarthrodial (synovial) type.
most common joint is the
, which secretes thick synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates the joint, reduces friction, and allows opposing surfaces to slide smoothly over each other.
capsule is lined by a synovial membrane
articular (hyaline) cartilage.
end of each bone is covered with
hyaline, elastic, and fibrous.
3 types of cartilage are
is the most common.
- It has a moderate amount of collagen fibers. It is found in the trachea, bronchi, nose, epiphyseal plate, and articular surfaces of bones.
Hyaline cartilage
, which has both collagen and elastic fibers, is more flexible than hyaline cartilage. It is found in the ear, epiglottis, and larynx.
Elastic cartilage
collagen fibers. It is a tough tissue that often functions as a shock absorber.
Fibrous cartilage (fibrocartilage) consists mostly of
is found between the vertebral discs. It also forms a protective cushion between the bones of the pelvic girdle, knee, and shoulder
Fibrous cartilage
as a support for soft tissue and provides the articular surface for joint movement. It protects underlying tissues. Because articular cartilage is avascular, it must receive nourishment by the diffusion of material from the synovial fluid.
Cartilage in synovial joints serves
cardiac (striated, involuntary), smooth (nonstriated, involuntary), and skeletal (striated, voluntary) muscle.
3 types of muscle tissue are
is found only in the heart. Its spontaneous contractions pump blood through the circulatory system.
Cardiac muscle
is found in the walls of hollow structures, such as airways, arteries, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, urinary bladder, and uterus.
Smooth muscle
is controlled by neuronal and hormonal influences.
Smooth muscle contraction
neuronal stimulation for contraction, accounts for about half of a human’s body weight.
Skeletal muscle, which requires
a continuous layer of deep fascia.
skeletal muscle is enclosed by the epimysium,
helps muscles slide over nearby structures.
epimysium
Connective tissue surrounding and extending into the muscle can be subdivided into fiber bundles (fasciculi).
