Lecture 5 Flashcards
What is soft tissue?
living tissue in the body other than bones
is bones soft tissue
nooooo
ex of soft tissue
fascia muscles organs nerves vasculature lymphatics
where is soft tissue techniques applied to
muscular and fascial structures
what do soft tissue techniques affect
assx neural and vasculature elements
Soft tissue preparation helps improvement of ___________
articular motion
Does soft tissue have a wide range of applications of force or narrow range?
wide
what makes ST techniques one of the most versatile treatments forms?
it can span a wide range of applications of force
fascia atatomy- soft tissue
collagen and elastin in a network of proteoglycans (PGs) that link the collagen in it,
ECM makes up how much of soft tissue
95%
what is fascia
a complete system with [blood supply], [fluid drainage] and [innervation]
what is the largest organ in the body
fascia
job of fascia
protect tissues
heal surrounding systems
What is NOT fascia
tendons
ligaments
aponeuroses
What are the layers of fascia
- Pannicular fascia (panniculus)
- Axial and appendicular fascia
- Meningeal fascia
- Visceral fascia
What is the most outerlayer of fascia
pannicular fascia
tell me about pannicular fascia
- outermost layer
- derived from somatic mesenchyme
- surrounds entire body except orifices
- outer layer is adipose tissue
- inner layer is membraneous and adherent to outer
pannicular fascia is derived from
somatic mesenchyme
outer layer of pannicular fascia is made up of
adipose tissue
inner layer of pannicular fascia is
membraneous and adherent to outer
What layer of fascia is called the investing layer
axial and appendicular fascia
tell me about axial and appendicular fascia
below pannicular layer
surrounds all muscles, periosteium of bone and peritendon of tendons
what does the axial and appendicular fascia surround
muscles
perosteum of bone
perosteium of tendon
fascia is omnipresent
its EVERYWHERE. covers EVERYTHING
if we take off all of the fascia, what are we
bones
fascia is also called
perimysium
is fascia continuous?
yes. from head to toe it is continuous.
what does it imply that fascia is continuous
a problem with fascia at one place may affect ROM in another place
Meningeal fascia
surrounds the NS
includes the dura
what part of fascia is the dura
meningeal
Visceral fascia
surrounds the cavities of the body
ex. of visceral fascia
pleural
pericardial
peritoneum
omnipotent fascia
its POWERFUL- stabilizes and mobilizes musculoskeletal system
is fascia elastic or contractile
both
what allows fascia to be contractile
myofibroblasts
what does it mean that fascia is a visoelastic material
deforms according to the [rate of loading] and [deformity].
stress
force that we use to deform CT
Strain
percentage of deformation of the tissue
stress produces a _____
strain
increase stress = ______ strain
increase
during cyclic loading of a tendon, what direction does the stress-strain curve move?
RIGHT
giving us better mobility
Hysteresis
difference between the loading and unloading characteristics repersents NRG that is lost in the CT system
