Q

Describe the axial and appendicular skeletons

A

The axial skeleton is comprised of the head and trunk i.e. skull, thorax,vertebral column and pelvis.
The appendicular skeleton is comprised of appendages and girdles hanging from the axial skeleton.

Q

Describe bone tissue

A

Compact bone outlines the external of the bone comprised of osteoclasts and blasts knitted closely together.
Spongy bone fills the internal of the bone as well as the medullary cavity where blood cells are produced.

Q

Classify bones according to shape and give an example of each

A
  • Long – femur, humerus, ulna, radius, tibia, fibula, metatarsals, metacarpals
  • Short – box-like appearance i.e. carpals, tarsals
  • Flat – thin parallel surfaces i.e. skull, sternum, scapula, ribs
  • Irregular – complex shapes with short flat, notched or rigid surfaces i.e. vertebrae, pelvic bones and some bones of the skull
  • Sesamoid – small, flat, round bones develop inside tendons i.e. patella

16
Q

Describe the three types of ligaments.

A

Capsular - reinforce capsule ofjoint
Extracapsular - lie outside the capsule
Intracapsular - lie inside the capsule

17
Q

Define and describe articular discs

A

Pads of fibrocartilage that are situated between articulations to act as…

  • Shock absorbers
  • Aid mechanical fit between surfaces
  • Restrain movement, assist in lubrication
  • Permit different movements to occur simultaneously at the one joint
18
Q

Define and describe bursa

A

Fluid filled sacs that reduce friction as structures slide on one another

19
Q

List factors that stabilize joints

A
  • Shape of joint surfaces
  • Articular discs
  • Associated ligaments
20
Q

Classify muscles by shape

A
  • Paralell: muscle fibers run in straight line between attachments
  • Oblique: fibers run on angles between attachments
  • Circular: fibers run around an opening in a circular direction
21
Q

Name the types of skeletal muscle contractions

A

Isotonic: muscle is dynamic when contracting
- concentric: muscle shortening
-eccentric: muscle lengthening
Isometric: muscle contracting but not dynamic

22
Q

Name and describe the functions of skeletal muscles during movement.

A

Agonist - muscle producing the movement isotonically
Antagonist - muscle that relaxes to allow movement to occur
Fixator - muscle that stabilises a body segment to allow movement to occur
Synergist - helps agonist to make movement happen

23
Q

Describe the histology of muscles

A

skeletal muscles -> myofibres (muscle cells) -> myofilaments (strands of protein within the muscle cell) -> actin & myosin filaments

24
Q

What is the sarcomeres?

A

sarcomeres are the contractile units of muscle that run adjacent to myofibril

25
What is the point where motor neurons and muscle fibers meet?
neuromusclar junction
26
What occurs at the neuromuscular junction?
- Action potential reached end of alpha motor neuron - Calcium channels open converting electrical impulse into chemical (neurotransmitters in form a AcH) - AcH is released into cleft - Binds to AcH receptors in sarcolemma - Opens ion channels, propagating AP down the muscle membrane - Goes down T tubule into muscle belly - Sarcoplasmic reticulum picks up excitation and releases Ca down muscle fibre - Ca reveals active binding site between actin and myosin - Sliding of actin and myosin against one another - Muscle contracts - Message stops - Contraction stops - Muscle relaxes
27
What is the effect of having a large ROM on a joint?
less stability
28
``` If a muscle crosses a joint 1) anteriorly 2)posteriorly 3)medially/laterally what movement will it produce? ```
1) flexion 2) extension 3) abduction/adduction
29
List 4 different movements that occur at synovial joints
1) active - active muscle contraction 2) angular - flexion/extension and abduction/adduction 3) rotational - medial/lateral rotation and prontation/supination 4) passive -external force produces movement
30
What are the two types of muscle contraction?
Isometric - non-dynamic contraction | Isotonic - dynamic contraction
31
List projections for structural attachments
Trochanter, crest, spine, line, tuberosity and tubercle
32
List processes of articulation
Head, facet, condyle, epicondyle and trochlear
33
List depressions that act as openings
Sinus, foramen, meatus, fissure and canal
34
Name some depressions
Sulcus, fossa, fovea and groove
35
Name an example of a trochanter, tubercle and tuberosity
Greater trochanter Adductor tubercle Tibial tuberosity
36
Name an example of a crest, spine and a line
Iliac crest Arcuate line Spine of scapula
37
List an example of a fossa, sulcus, fovea and a groove
Lacrimal sulcus Iliac fossa Fovea centralis Femoral groove
38
Name an example of a sinus, foramen, fissure, meatus and a canal
``` Sphenoidal sinus Obturator foramen Tympanomastoid fissure External auditory meatus Carotid canal ```
