LAB PRACTICAL 2 Flashcards
What are the accessory organs of the skin?
Hair, Nails and Cutaneous glands
Functions of the Skin
Insulation, temperature regulation, cushioning, protection and prevention of water loss
What is the most superficial layer of the epidermis; 20-30 layers of dead cells and has flat membranous sacs filled with keratin, glycolipids in extracellular space
Stratum corneum
What is one to five layers of flattened cells, organelles deterioration; cytoplasm full of lamellar granules and keratohyalin granules
Stratum granulosum
What layer of the epidermis had several layers of keratinocytes unified by desmosomes. Cells contain thick bundles of intermediate filaments made of pre-keratin.
Stratum Spinosum
What is the deepest epidermal layer and have occasional melanocytes and tactile epithelial cells
Stratum Basale
What are the three structural types of articulations (joints)
Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial
What are the three functional types of Articulations (joints)
Synarthroses, Amphiarthrosis, and Diarthroses
Immovable cartilaginous and fibrous joints found in the axial skeleton
Define Synarthroses.
Slightly moveable cartilaginous joints found in the axial skeleton
Define Amphiarthroses
Define Diarthroses
Freely moveable Synovial joints that are found in limbs
Two major types of fibrous joints
1.Sutures
2.syndesmoses
-gomphosis are short fibrous joints that are found in the periodontal ligament
-each have no joint cavity
What is a suture
a joint that is held together with very short, interconnection fibers, and bone edges that interlock. Found only in the skull
a joint that is held together by a ligament. FIbrous tissue can vary in length but they are always longer than sutures
What is a syndesmosis
What are the two main types of cartilaginous joints
- Synchondroses
- Symphyses
-each have no joint cavity
What are synchondroses joints
bone that are united by hyaline cartilage
ex. epiphyseal plate
What are symphysis joints
bones united by fibrocartilage
ex. pubic symphysis
What are the types of synovial joints
- plane
- hinge
- pivot
- condyloid
- saddle
- ball and socket
Joint cavity containg fluid
Synovial cavity
Plane
allows sliding (nonaxial) movements in 1 or 2 planes
eg. intercarpal and intertarsal joints
Hinge
Allows movement in 1 plane (uniaxial) -flexion and extension
eg. elbow and interphalangeal
Pivot
Allows rotational movement in 1 axis.
eg. proximal radioulnar joint
Condyloid
Allows biaxial movements in 2 planes
eg. wrist (radiocarpal) and knuckles
Saddle
allows movement in 2 planes (biaxial)
eg. thumb metacarpal
Ball and socket
Allows multiaxial movement
eg. shoulder and hip joints
What is flexion
Decreases the angle of joint. reduces distance between two bones.
Extension
Increases angle of a joint. Increases distance between 2 bones
Hyperextension
increasing angle greater than 180 degress.
Dorsiflexion
foot moves upwards
Plantar flexion
foot flexes downwards
abduction
limb moves away from the midline
adduction
Limb moves towards midline
move bone around its longitudinal axis
Rotation
a combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction
Circumduction
Supination
radius and ulna parallel
Pronation
radius moves across ulna
inversion
turn foot medially
eversion
turn foot laterally
Protraction
anterior movement in a transverse plane
retraction
posterior movement in a transverse plane
Elevation
moving a body part superiorly
depression
moving a body part inferiorly
opposition
touch thumb to fingertips - made possible by thumb saddle point
What is the largest and most complex joint in the body
the knee joint
agonist
muscle responsible for movement
antagonist
muscles that oppose or reverse a movement, also sometimes responsible for a prime movement
synergist
reduce unnecessary movement
fixators
are specialized synergist that stabilize the agonist
Origin
the stationary point of attachment
insertion
the moveable point of attachment
What can muscles be named on the basis of:
- muscle fiber direction
- relative size
- location of muscle
- number of origions
- location of origin and insertion
- shape of muscle
- action of muscle
Masseter
chewing muscle
pterygoid
wing like muscle of sphenoid bone
buccinator
bugle muscle and compresses cheek
Temporalis
closes jaw and elevates/retracts mandible
orbicularis oris
closes and purses lips
lateral pterygoid
protracts jaw. grinding.
medial pterygoid
elevates jaw. grinding synergist of temporalis and masseter
brachialis muscle
muscle of the arm
brachioradialis muscle
muscle of the arm along the radius bone
flexor digitorum superficialis
muscle near surface that bends the fingers
