LEC-10 MSK Response to Load Physiology Flashcards
________________ is a law that states bones are able to sense the loads on them and modify their structures to suit changes in these loads. Form follows function.
Wolff’s Law
(T/F) Growing bone responds to low or moderate exercise through significant addition of new bone; however, a threshold exists beyond which some bone responds negatively.
True.
Moderate to intense physical activity can increase bone ______________.
Mineral content
Physical activity for middle-aged and older adults is recommended for a duration of ____________ and ____ days of the week.
30 minutes; all days of the week
Strength training for middle-aged and older adults is recommended ___ - ___ times per week.
2-3 times per week
Elder nursing home patients spend more than ___% of their daily time in bed.
80%
____________ is the loss of muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle protein synthesis.
Muscle atrophy
What are the material properties associated with bone?
- Elastic-plastic
- Yield point
- Brittle-ductile
- Toughness
These properties remain constant regardless of bone shape.
What are the structural properties associated with bone?
- Bending stiffness
- Torsional stiffness
- Axial stiffness
These properties depend on the shape and material of the bone.
In a graph of applied force vs. displacement, the slope of the graph represents the ______________.
Stiffness
(Stress/Strain) is the force applied over an area.
Stress (Force/Area)
(Stress/Strain) is change in height compared to the original height.
Strain (ΔHeight/Original Height)
A (lower/higher) elastic modulus means that there is more strain available for a given stress.
Lower
- Lower elastic modulus means more able to bend
Elastic modulus is calculated by _______________.
Stress/Strain
Beyond the yield failure point of a material, it experiences (elastic/plastic) deformation.
Plastic
- Irreversible deformation
The (yield failure/ultimate failure) point in a stress vs. strain graph is the point at which no stress needs to be applied in order to elicit strain on the material.
Ultimate failure
What are the basic forces that may cause fracture?
Image
When a material experiences a shearing force, the side undergoing (tension/compression) will fail first.
Tension
When a bone receives force, the side undergoing (compression/tension) is the strongest.
Compression
(Hyaline/Elastic/Fibro) cartilage is found in the external ear, larynx, epiglottis, and eustachian tube.
Elastic
(Hyaline/Elastic/Fibro) cartilage covers the surface of most joints. It is slick, smooth, and receives nutrition from synovial fluid. It is a thin cartilage (2-4mm thin), and it is composed of mostly type II collagen. It appears avascular, white, aneural, and alymphatic.
Hyaline
(Hyaline/Elastic/Fibro) cartilage is composed of strong and stiff fibers. It is found in the pubic symphysis, meniscus, and annulus fibrosis.
