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
