Inter- between / among
membranous- made of a membrane and somewhat transparent
Start from embryonic membrane rather than cartilage
Flat bones are formed in this manner
Called ‘woven bone’

104

106
Q

What are bone markings?

A

Can help you understand attachment types and sites

107
Q

What is cartilage? Soft tissues of skeletal system

A

A tissue that is dense but is less dense than bone
2 types: Articular and fibrocartilage

108
Q

What is articular cartilage? Soft tissues of skeletal system

A

Can be found on articulating surfaces- articular-relating to joints
Typically found at the epiphyses of long bones
Primary purpose is to help joints move smoothly and absorb shock and sheer
No direct blood supply
Synovial fluid helps move smoothly and reduces friction

109
Q

What happens if articular cartilage is damaged? soft tissues of skeletal system

A

It cannot be healed. Synovial fluid needs to move around to keep it healthy

110
Q

What is fibrocartilage? soft tissues of skeletal system

A

Very dense and provides structural support to joints
EX: Labrum (shoulder), acetabulum (hip) and meniscus (knee)
Increases surface area of the bones to increase joint stability
Little to no blood supply so difficult to heal

111
Q

What is a ligament? Soft tissues of skeletal system

A

Dense connective tissue
Connect bone to bone
Little blood supply so can heal but not quickly
EX: ACL

112
Q

What is a tendon? Soft tissues of skeletal system

A

Dense connective tissue with a but more stretch than ligaments
Connect muscle to bone
Tendons are an extension of muscle tissue coverings

113
Q

What is a fascia? Soft tissues of skeletal system

A

Fibrous connective tissue that does not flex much
Primary function is to hold soft tissues together
EX: Retinaculum runs perpendicular to tendons acting like a seatbelt

114
Q

What is a synovial joint capsule? Soft tissues of skeletal system

A

Only found in synovial (diarthrodial) joints
Joints are surrounded by a capsule that contains synovial fluid providing stability and cushion for the joint
Movement depends on the concentration of collagen and elastin which can vary quite a bit
More elastin can be hypermobile
Unstable

115
Q

Why study muscles?

A

Account for about half of your body weight
Over 650 muscles in the human body
Most common missing muscle is the palmaris longus (about 60% of population)
After 65, there is a massive increase in muscle loss

116

Males tend to have faster contractile properties and a higher capacity for anaerobic metabolism
Which means that males can generate more maximal power than females
Exercise tends to thwart atrophy more effectively in men than women in older ages >65

117
Q

Male vs FEMALE Muscles

A

Females muscles are more fatigue resistant so are better suited for longer duration activities
Women are more susceptible to disuse atrophy than men

Pennate Muscles Architecture

A

Run at an angle to the tendon and are much shorter than their parallel counterpart
Less shortening capacity but allows for more fibers and more sarcomeres inside the fiber
3 types: Unipennate, bipennate, multipennate
Good for strength

134
Q

Which fiber would be built for speed and which is mostly built for power?

A

Parallel is fast and stable
Multipennate is slower and power

135
Q

What is anatomical cross sectional area

A

Measurement is what is reported in studies interested in how much muscle did a person gain
At midline of the muscle
Measurement of the largest portion of a muscle

136
Q

What is physiological cross sectional area

A

Measurement will give a more accurate measure of how much force production is available from a muscle
Just a strong person
Measurement at perpendicular of the fibers regardless of tendon position

137
Q

Lines of pull are?

A

Uniarticular: uni-1 articular-joint Is a muscle that only crosses one joint
Biarticular: bi-2 articular-joint Is a muscle that crosses 2 joints
Multiarticular: Multi-multiple articular-joint Is a muscle that crosses multiple joints

138
Q

Eccentric muscle contraction

A

Muscle is lengthening (elongating)

139
Q

Concentric muscle contraction

A

Muscle is shortening (contracting)
Work phase

140
Q

Isometric muscle contraction

A

Muscle is static, no movement
Stability

141
Q

Activating muscle contraction occurs how?

A

An alpha motor neuron sends a signal to the muscle to start and end contraction

142
Q

An alpha motor neuron and all muscle fibers it innervates is known as a what?

A

Motor unit

143
Q

Large vs small muscles

A

The number of muscle fibers that nerves can innervate varies from muscle to muscle
Smaller: used more for precise movement that have greater innervation ratio
Larger: used for more gross movements will have less innervation ratio

144
Q

Motor unit recruitment is?

A

Increasing the number of neurons in a muscle to fire more of the muscle
More important for large gross movements

145
Q

Rate coding is?

A

Improving the precision of the firing rate
More important for precision of movement

146
Q

Motor Unit Recruitment Size Principle

A

Small motor units=low stimulus threshold
Larger motor units=higher stimulus threshold
Largest motor units=highest stimulus threshold

147
Q

What is the all or nothing principle?

A

States that all the muscle fibers that are connected to a nerve will fire
EX: like a light switch, if its off it is off

148
Q

Primary muscle for movement of action is?

A

Agonist

149
Q

Antagonist has the role of what?

A

Opposite of the primary mover

150
Q

Stabilizer of a joint associated with the primary movement but has no movement is what muscle?

A

Synergist

151
Q

Optimal length of a muscle is called?

A

Optimal resting length

152
Q

If a muscle is contracted too much and is no longer able to produce force is what?

A

Active insufficiency

153
Q

Passive insufficiency is what?

A

A muscle is stretched too much and is not able to produce force

154
Q

Proprioceptors allow for what?Proprioception

A

Muscles to contract at the appropriate time, with the appropriate force, and the appropriate muscles

155
Q

Sense changes in muscle length and rate of strength and contact the muscle rapidly are what? Proprioception

A

Spindle fibers

156
Q

Golgi Tendon Organs (GTOs) Proprioception

A

Located in the tendons, these detect changes in muscle tension. If too much tension is sensed, the GTOs will deactivate the muscle to ensure no damage is caused by the excessive tension

157
Q

Pacinian corpuscles is what?Proprioception

A

Located just below the skin around the joints
These detect rapid change to a joint angle and reports it to CNS

158
Q

Located just below the skin mainly around the fingers. Like pacinian, they detect rapid change to a joint angle and reports it to CNS and are fine motor control are what?Proprioception

A

Ruffini’s Corpuscles

159
Q

Why study movement analysis?

A

Running economy: How much energy it takes to run at a certain speed for a given amount of time
Running efficiency: The energy cost to generate that power

160
Q

Improving running efficiency does what?

A

Can lower the cost to generate that power and instead put it into running economy

161
Q

Increasing running economy does what?

A

Can run at a faster pace without changing their aerobic capacity

162
Q

What is movement analysis?

A

An assessment of an individual’s movement
Can be as simple as picking up a pen or complex movements like throwing a ball or doing a complex lift

163
Q

What is a discrete movement?

A

A movement with a clear beginning and end

164
Q

Movement with no clear beginning or end

A

Continuous movement

165
Q
A
