JOINT MUSCLE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Flashcards
o study of muscles as they are involved in science of movement
Structural Kinesiology
Bones are composed of?
Composed of calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, collagen, and water
What provides some flexibility and strength in resisting tension
Collagen provides some flexibility and strength in resisting tension
T or F
Aging causes progressive loss of collagen and increases brittleness
TRUE
Fixed Connective Tissue Cell Types (7)
Fibroblast - tendon, ligaments, skin
Chondroblast - cartilage
Osteoblast - bone formation
Osteoclast
Mast Cells
Adipose Cells
Mesenchyme Cells
- including elevations and projections
Processes
including opening and grooves
Cavities or Depressions
A junction between two or more bones to permit
movement
Joint
T or F
Arthrology - study of bones
False
Arthrology - study of joints
connection of bones at a joint usually to allow movement between surfaces of bones
Articulation
T or F
Synarthroses - movable
FALSE
Synarthroses - immovable
T or F
Amphiarthroses - slightly movable
TRUE
Diarthroses - freely movable joints
Diarthroses - freely movable joints
composed of intervening fibrous tissue with no joint cavity, immovable joints
Fibrous
articulating bones are united by
cartilage, hyaline or fibrocartilage, with no joint cavity
Cartilaginous
articulating bones are separated by a
fluid-filled joint cavity, freely movable
Synovial
● Immovable joints which permits the stability of bones
● Suture such as skull sutures (Fontanel on babies)
● Gomphosis such as teeth fitting into mandible or maxilla
Synarthrosis
● Slightly movable joints
● Allow a slight amount of motion to occur
Amphiarthrodial
Joint separated by a fibrocartilage pad that allows very slight movement between the bones
Symphysis
Type of joint separated by hyaline cartilage that allows very slight movement between the bones
Synchondrosis
Two bones joined together by a strong ligament or an interosseous membrane that allows minimal movement between the bones. Bones may or
may not touch each other at the actual joint
Syndesmosis
T or F
○ Stratum Fibrosum - thicker
○ Stratum Synovium - produces synovial fluid
TRUE
inflammation of joint due to a problem in the serum of the blood
Rheumatoid Arthritis
decrease of fluid and joint space, friction of
joints
Osteoarthritis
○ A ligamentous part of the joint capsule that
determines the range of motion
○ Fibrous layer of capsule - considered to be poorly vascularized but well innervated (nerve supply)
Fibrous Capsule
T or F
Fibrous Capsule are well innervated
TRUE
○ Responsible for the secretion for the synovial fluid
○ Synovial fluid is important for the lubrication of the bones
○ Both well vascularized and well innervated
Synovial Membrane
Components of Synovial FLuid
Fluid - composed of hyaluronate for the hydration,
and lubricin for lubrication
Bands of tough elastic tissue around your joints
Ligaments
For the reduction or reducing of the wear and tear in
between the bones
Articular Cartilage
Associated with the freedom of movement by
reducing friction but increasing absorption
Articular Cartilage
Thin, oval plate of fibrocartilage
Articular Disc or Meniscus
Fluid sacs that reduce the friction
Bursae
Adds cushion to our bones
Fat Pads or Haversian Glands
Six Types of Diarthrodial Joint
○ Arthrodial / Gliding / Plane
○ Ginglymus / Hinge
○ Trochoid / Pivot
○ Condyloid
○ Sellar / Saddle
○ Enarthrodial / Ball and Socket
2 plane or flat bony surfaces which butt against each other.
Little motion possible in any 1 joint articular.
Arthrodial or Planar Joints
T or F
Arthrodial or Planar Joints Don’t work
together in series of articulations
FALSE
Usually work together in series of articulations
