Q

Explain the three different types of levers

A

1st class: fulcrum in center, forces on either side

2nd class: fulcrum - resistance force - effort force

3rd class: fulcrum - effort force - resistance force

Q

Types of biaxial joints

A

Condyloid, saddle, ellipsoid

18
Q

Types of triaxial joints

A

Plane, ball in socket

19
Q

2 components of CT

A

Cells, ECM

20
Q

4 types of CT cells and where they are located

A
  1. Fibroblast - ligs, tendons
  2. Chondrocytes - hyaline and fibrocartilage
  3. Tenocytes - tendons
  4. Osteocytes - bone
21
Q

2 classes of proteins in fibrous component of ECM

A

Collagen and elastin

22
Q

Most abundant protein in body

23
Q

Describe strength of collagen

A

Tensile strength similar to steel

24
Q

Difference btw type 1 and 2 collagen

A

1: stiff, strong, allows very little elongation
2: helps tissues maintain shape, provides internal strength, less tensile strength

25
Where is elastin found?
Structures that require more "give" | Ex: aorta
26
3 types of CT
1. Dense 2. Articular cartilage 3. Fibrocartilage
27
Main type of collagen in dense CT
Type 1
28
Irregular vs regular dense CT
Irregular: angular fibers (capsule) Regular: parallel fibers (lig/tendon)
29
Are tendons or ligs more adapted to larger tensile forces?
Tendons
30
3 types of cartilage
1. Elastic 2. Fibrocartilage 3. Hyaline/articular
31
Where do bones have greatest strength?
Compression along the long axis
32
Define stress
Force/unit area
33
Define strain
% of change in length or cross-section of a structure
34
Increasing strain with little change in stress - force results in permanent deformation
Plastic region of stress-strain curve
35
Define creep
Force remains constant, length changes over time
36
Define stress-relaxation
Force decreases over time, length remains the same
37
Order of muscle structure
``` Monofilament Myofibril Fiber Fascicle Belly ```
38
Define PCSA
Reflects amount of active proteins available to generate contraction force
39
Max force potential is proportional to
Sum of CSA of all of its fibers
40
Where is active force generation strongest?
Resting length of muscle
41
6 factors influencing force production
1. Muscle size (PSCA) 2. Moment arm of muscle 3. Stretch of muscle 4. Velocity 5. Level of muscle fiber recruitment 6. Motor unit types composing the muscle
