Lecture 1 :Shoulder Joint and Trunk Muscles Flashcards
Arthrology
Study of joints
3 types of joints
Immovable, slightly moveable, freely moveable joints
Immoveable Joints
Sutures, fibourous
Slightly Moveable
Cartilaginous, ribs to costal hyaline cartilages, pubic symphysis, epiphyseal growth cartilages
Freely Moveable joints
Synovial (Joint capsule and fluid)
Temporomanidibular joint and joints in extremities
Synovial joints
Periosteum is the extension, making the fiborous capusle
Synovial fluid fills the space = No friction
Articular cartilage = Smooth motion
Sprain
In a joint,
Fluid fills the capsule, stretching it, movement becomes limited
Cracking Knuckle
Popping synovial fluid gas bubbles
Continous noise = bone to bone contact
Bursa
Fluid filled sacs around all major joints, underneath the muscle and skin
Bursitis
Excessive movement, inflame the bursa
of the shoulder = most common
Cold weather may make it uncomfortable = circulation problem
Bone seperate at the acromion and clavicle
Acromioclavicular ligament will be stretched, need surgery and will not heal on its own
Ligament have poor blood supply.
Breaking the humerus near the shoulder joint
Muscles pull the bones apart, damage the joint when breaking
= Muscle spas and the joint is immoveable
Gout
Metabolic disease
Related to nutrition -> rick and exotic food
You get crystals in the synovial fluid
Medication will get ride of the uric acid in the blood stream that creates this.
Syphilis in Joints
Enter joints, destroy the soft tissue and bones
Swells the joints = Disabliing and painful
Muscle tissue
high in proteins
Actin and Myosin
Myoglobin -> only found in muscle
Myoglobin
Close to hemoglobin in blood cells
Carries oxygen into tissue,
Special molecule more oxygen into muscle fibers
Dark meat = high myoglobin = dark, moist, rich
White meat = low in myoglobin = light color, leaner
