Lecture 1 Flashcards
What constitutes the leg?
Between the knee and ankle regions
Ankle region
Talocrural
Oblique cut
Anterior/posterior
Transverse
Superior/inferior
Longitudinal cut
Medial/lateral
Ipsilateral
Same side
Bilateral
Both sides
Unilateral
One side
Contra lateral
Opposite side, compared to medial plane
Functions of the skin
Protection
Containment
Thermal regulation
Sensation
Synthesis and storage of vitamin D
Fascias function
Wrap, pack, insulate, the deep structures of the body
Superficial fascia
Subcutaneous fascia
Deep fascia
Dense, organized connective tissue, no fat, parallel to skin, investing fascia
connective tissue that lines all muscles and attaches to some bones
Investing fascia
Extensions found along muscles and neurovascular bundles
Articular cartilage
Lining articular surfaces, surrounded by perichondrium
Bone functions
Surrounded by periosteum, support for body, protection, mechanical advantage, storage for salts, new blood cells
Classifications of bones
Long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid
Bone markings functions
Tendon, ligament, fascia attachments, form passage for vascular entry, leverage for moment
Trabeculae
formed in bones, based on weight bearing
Compact bone
in areas where there is more chance of fracture
Sesamoid bone
develops within tendons. Increases mechanical advantage, makes us more efficient
Bursae
found in areas w/lots of friction. Helps tissue move efficiently
Fascias of muscles
Entire area –> deep fascia
Compartment –> intermuscular septa
Specific Muscle –> investing fascia
