Q

What was the early prediction about how a muscle contracts?

A

‘Animal spirit’ flowed from the head to the muscles and that the volume of a muscle increases when contracting

Q

The baloonist theory

A

Attempted to explain muscle movement by asserting that muscles cotract by inflating with air or flud.

Q

Debunking of the balloonist theory

A

Jan Swammerdam placed a frog thigh muscle in an airtight syringe with water in the tip, therefore he could determine whether there was a change in volume of the muscle when it contracted by observing a change in the level of water
When JS caused muscle to contract by irritating nerve, the water level didnt rise but was lowered –> no air/fluid could be flowing into the muscle hence the balloonist theory was wrong

A

If fibres are parallel to axis of muscle = parallel

Q

Diffferences between penate muscles and parallel muscles

A

Penate muscles are stronger as more fibres are packed - they have greater PCSA
However, penate muscles are slower as its fibres have to shorten over a greater distance than parallel muscles

Q

Difference between a male and female pelvis

A

Males have higher iliac crests
Pelvic inlet is more heart shape on a male. It is more round on a female

25
Q

What are ligaments inside/outside the joint capsule called

A

Intra/Extra-capsular ligaments

26
Q

3 extra-capsular ligaments

A

iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral
they loosen during flexion (provides more stability during extension which is necessary for standing up)

27
Q

Location, origin and insertion of the inguinal liagament

A

Runs anteriorally along the front of the pelvis
Origin is the ASIS and inserts into the pubis

28
Q

What are the main bursae located at the hip called
What does it do

A

Iliopectineal bursa - located anterior to the hip joint capsule
Trochanteric bursa - located on greater trochanter
Reduce friction where tendons, muscles, soft tissue cross over one another

29
Q

2 intracapsular ligaments and their locations

A

Transverse acetabular ligament - sits between the 2 ends of the lunate surface of the acetabulum
Ligamentum teres - located in the centre of the acetabulum and connects into the dimple on the head of the femur. Holds head of femur in place. Has a blood supply which supplies blood into femur
