Exam 1 Flashcards
What are the three main types of joints and their subtypes?
Fibrous (suture, schindylesis, syndesmoses, gomphoses)
Cartilaginous (synchondroses aka hyaline, symphases aka fibrocartilage)
Synovial (planar, hinge/ginglymus, pivot/trochoid, condyloid, saddle/seller, ball and socket)
What is a pennate muscle?
Muscle fibers next to tendon (unipennate, bipennate, multipennate)
What is a fusiform muscle?
Wide in the middle, tapered at the ends. Can have multiple heads (bicipital, tricipital, quadracipital)
What is a digastric muscle?
Two muscle bellies separated by central tendon
What is a multiventral muscle?
Muscle broken up by tendonous inscriptions (ex: 6 pack)
What is a multicaudal muscle?
Multiple tails/tendons (ex: multiple tendons in hand going to different digits)
What is lymph?
Surplus tissue fluid that is taken into lymphoid vessels and dumped back into venous circulation.
What is a collection of cell bodies called in the CNS vs PNS?
CNS - nucleus
PNS - ganglion
What are the cells of the blood brain barrier?
Astrocytes
What are the cells that myelinate axons in the CNS and PNS?
CNS - oligodendroglia
PNS - Neurolemma/Schwann cells
What are the phagocytes in the CNS?
Microglia
What are the cells that produce CSF?
Ependymal cells
What are the three types of cartilage?
Hyaline (nose), fibrocartilage (fibers/tough), elastic (ears)
What does aponeurosis mean?
Flat sheet of tendon
What are the layers in arteries and veins?
(Valve cusps in veins)
- Endothelium (inside)
- Subendothelium
- Basement membrane
- Elastic lamina
- Tunica media
- Tunica adventia (outside)
What is a Jefferson fracture?
Fracture of both arches of the atlas from a blow to the top of the head. Also known as a burst fracture. Usually will not injure spinal cord.
What is a Hangman’s fracture?
Fracture of the vertebral arch due to hyperextension of the head on the neck.
What is an odontoid fracture?
Fracture of the dens/odontoid process on the axis due to a horizontal blow to the head. The transverse L. breaks it and holds it away from blood supply.
What makes the cervical vertebrae unique?
“Bifed” spinous process, large triangular vertebral foramen, transverse foramen within the transverse processes, anterior/posterior tubercles on transverse processes, costotransverse bar between tubercles
What makes the thoracic vertebrae unique?
Small, round vertebral foramen, “heart”-shaped vertebral body, well-pronounced lamina, large/inferiorly directed spinous processes, superior/inferior/transverse costal facets for rib articulation
What makes the lumbar vertebrae unique?
Large, oval vertebral foramen, long/slender transverse processes, “hatchet”-shaped spinous processes, “kidney”-shaped vertebral body, mammillary process on superior articulating process, accessory process on transverse process
What happens with Spina Bifida Occulta?
Lamina does not completely close off to protect spinal cord, can be differing degrees of severity
What is the difference between spondylosis, spondylolysis, and spondylolisthesis?
Spondylosis- degeneration of vertebral disc
Spondylolysis - fracture of the arch
Spondylolisthesis - fracture and displacement of the vertebra
What is a tubercle?
A bony bump
