HLTH muscle and joints Flashcards
significance of unique markings on bones
provide attachment for tendons and passageways for blood vessels and nerves
what does the periosteum contain?
osteoblasts, vessels, nerves, and lymphatics
what is the medullary cavity lined with?
endosteum which contains osteoblasts
where is adult red bone marrow found?
cranium, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, and ilia
motor unit meaning
is the motor neuron and all the muscle fibres it stimulates
myofibrils
found in each muscle cell and contain smaller myofilaments containing actin and myosin
what is stored in muscle cells?
glycogen
aerobic respiration
is used to produce ATP as long as O2 is available
anaerobic respiration
is when O2 is not available and glucose is used as the primary energy source for muscles; produces smaller amounts of ATP and lactic acid
during strenuous exercise, is the body more acidic or basic?
acidic
adverse effects of anabolic steroids
liver damage, cardiovascular damage, personality changes, irritability, and sterility
synarthroses
immovable joints
amphiarthroses
slightly moveable joints in which the bones are connected by hyaline or fibrocartilage
diarthroses
freely moveable joints aka synovial joints
articular capsule
is composed of the synovial membrane and the fibrous capsule which is the outer covering
menisci role
stabilize the joint
bursae
are fluid filled sacs composed on synovial membrane and are located between tendons or joints; these offer extra cushioning in the joints
electromyograms
measure the electrical change associated with muscle contraction and are helpful for differentiating muscle disorders from neurological damage
mature bone cells and location
are osteocytes and found in lacunae
osteoprogenitor cells
are derived from embryonic mesenchymal cells and develop into osteoblasts
where are osteoclasts derived from?
macrophage progenitor cells
what skeletal muscles are not voluntary?
breathing, blinking, posture, and shivering
acetylcholinesterase
is an enzyme that inactivates AcH after contraction
why do increased respirations occur during exercise?
to compensate for metabolic acidosis during anaerobic exercise
what is a muscle cramp a result from and why does pain occur?
strong muscle contractions or spasms and the release of metabolic wastes; these reduce blood flow, causing ischemic pain
how do muscles change with aerobic exercise?
they do not hypertrophy but instead increase the blood flow and mitochondria to increase O2 supply
segmental fracture
is when a several large bone fragments separate from the main body of a fractured bone
where are compression fractures common?
the vertebrae
where are stress fractures common?
the tibia, fibula, and 2/3 metatarsal
colles fracture
is a break in the distal radius of the wrist; commonly when falling and attempting to break the fall
pott fracture
fracture of the lower tibia due to excessive stress often from forceful stepping down
what is the of the blood clot forming in the medullary canal during healing of a fracture
hematoma
purpose of the hematoma for fracture healing
serves as a basis for the fibrin network in which granulation tissue grows
procallus
aka fibrocartilaginous callus and serves as the preliminary bridge between the broken ends during healing
what is the procallus replaced by?
the bony callus
5 stages of bone healing
hematoma, granulation tissue, procallus, bony callus, and remodelling
systemic problems delaying bone healing?
anemia, diabetes, circulatory problems, and nutritional defects
what causes ischemia during healing?
edema in a cast
compartment syndrome
occurs when there is more extensive inflammation, causing the increased pressure within the fluid of the fascia, which compresses nerves and causes pain; common in a cast
fat emboli
occurs when yellow bone marrow travels into the circulation and to the lungs, causing behavioural changes, confusion, disorientation, respiratory distress, and hypoxia
from which bones does fat emboli often occur?
pelvis or long bones like the femur
closed reduction
is done using traction or using pressure to move the bones closer together
open reduction
requires surgery and devices like pins, plates, and rods to move bones closer together
subluxation
is partial dislocation
sprain vs strain
sprain is a tear in a ligament and strain is a tear in a tendon
avulsion
is when ligaments or tendons are completely separated from the bone
