Lab 5: Musculoskeletal Flashcards
What is flexion?
Decreasing a joint angle
What is extension?
Increasing a joint angle
What is origin?
A muscles attachment to bone that moves the least
What is insertion?
A muscles attachment to bone which moves the most
Differences between human and chicken legs?
Human has the tibia and the fibula, while chickens have a fused “shank”- the tibiotarsus (tibia and tarsals) and the fibula is a partially fused bone along side
What’s in a myotendinous junction slide?
Ilifibular muscle to iliofibular tendon
What’s in an osteotendinous junction slide?
Iliofibular tendon to fibula
What does a tendon resist in how many directions?
Tension in one direction
What is a tendon blood supply like?
Sparce
Function of osteoclasts?
Bone resorption
How do sharpey fibres become embedded in the bone matrix?
As bone grows, osteoblasts secrete hydroxyapocyte and trap collage fibres
Shape of skeletal muscle fibres in cross section?
Polyhedral
What surrounds every muscle fibre?
Endomysium
What surrounds every fasicle (bundle of muscle fibres)?
Perimysium
What surrounds muscle?
Epimysium
What happens to coarse collagen fibres of the tendon as they approach muscle?
Become finer and less regular
How is tensile force of the muscle transferred to the tendon?
When myocyte contracts, it pulls in the collagen
