Final exam- extra review points Flashcards
Basic limb plan
- Flat bone = limb to spine
- Single long bone connects limb to trunk
- Joins 2 long bones
- Row of 3 wrist/ankle bones
- Row of 4 bones
- 5 bones in hand and foot and corresponding digits
Movements of shoulder complex
1/3 scapulothoracic
• 2/3 glenohumeral
What is the interosseous membrane
Membrane between ulnar and radius, responsible for transferring load between the 2
Muscle function is indicated by
- Attachments
- Thickness
- Length
- Fibre arrangement
Rotator cuff muscles
- Supraspinatus = abduct
- Infraspinatus = rotation
- Teres minor = external rotators
Retinacula
Tough, fibrous connective tissue preventing tendons across wrist from bowstringing
Muscle groups for power grip
- Distal IP joint flexors
* Wrist extensors
Muscle groups for precision
- Proximal IP joint flexors
* Fine movers of hand- lumbricals interossei, thenar group
Long effort arm
Low gear = low speed, high force
Short effort arm
high gear = high speed, low force
Hip load bearing
- Series of connected arches
- Hip bone transmits load to head of femur
- Involves bones and ligaments across joints
- Eccentric contractions used to absorb impact during locomotion
Hip ligaments role
- Redistribute load from sacrum to pelvis
- Weight of upper body slightly anterior to sacrum
- Ligaments prevent anterior rotation and dislocation
- Sacrospinous, sacrotuberous
Ligaments limiting hip extension
- Pubo-femoral
- Ilio-femoral- takes load when standing to limit muscle use
- Ischio-femoral
Knee ligament injuries
- Hyperextension or blow to femur = ACL
- Direct blow to tibia = PCL
- Lateral blow or forced abduction = medial
Load bearing while standing
- Iliofemoral ligament
- Cruciate ligaments
- Ankle joint
- More efficient with minimal muscle activity
Plantar fascia
supports arches and acts as spring during gait
Ilio-tibial band
provides dynamic stability to knee laterally
Popliteus
small muscle back of knee, contracted to unlock knee
Soleus
postural muscle deep to gastrocnemius
Fontanelles
membranous connective tissue joining bones of infant skull
Spine curvatures
- Cervical lordosis
- Thoracic kyphosis
- Lumbar lordosis
- Sacral kyphosis
Ribs
- 12 ribs
- 7 true- articulate with sternum via costal cartilage
- 5 false- 3 share common cartilaginous connection to sternum, 2 floating
Movements of vertebral column
- Flexion
- Extension
- Lateral bending
- Twisting
Lateral pterygoid
protraction
