lifespan perspective of the musculoskeletal system Flashcards
sensory/ perceptual system
Provide sensory information about the body and environment
cognitive system
The attention, planning, problem solving, motivation, and emotional aspects of
motor control
motor/ action system
Neuromuscular and biomechanical systems control the execution of functional movement
the higher centers of the ner vous system and the effector organs of movement
Functional motor unit
Primary motor cortex
Controls speed and force of movement
Supplemental motor area
Involved in preplanning movements
Premotor cortex
Visually guided movements
Cerebellum
Coordinates movements based on accuracy, timing, and intensity
Basal ganglia
Controls posture and adaptation to varying tasks or environments
one motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates
Motor unit:
in the prenatal stage The muscular system develops from the
mesoderm
During the 2nd half of gestation, rapid increase in:
Number and size of muscle fibers
what muscle fiber is slow twitch tonic fibers and 21 weeks gestation
type 1 muscle fibers
what muscle fibers are fast twitch phasic and 30 weeks
type 2 muscle fibers
are all skeletal muscles developed by birth?
yes
Change in direction of muscle fibers
Alters the muscle fiber orientation
Change in direction of muscle fibers ex:
i.e.trapezius develops into multiple fiber directions
Splitting in myotomes
Splitting in myotomes
i.e.biceps brachii has 2 heads
Splitting in myotomes
Degeneration
Formationof aponeurosis: a sheet of connective tissue
i.e.lineaalbain rectus
abdominis
Degeneration
prenatal muscular system development
changes in direction of muscle fibers
splitting in myotomes
degeneration
At birth, muscle mass is only ___ of total body mass
25%
in males 14-fold increase in fiber number when
2 months- 16 years
Fiber size and strength increases until
adolescence
in males between 5 - 17 years the muscle mass increase how much of the total body mass?
41-53%
in females the 10-fold increase in fibers number after
birth
do male or females have a more rapid increase in fiber size
females
in females between 5-17 years the muscle mall increase to ____ of total body mass
41%-42
when do people have their growth spurt
adolescence
by when has the relative Type I and Type II fiber ratio has reached the adult level
adolescence
what does a growth spurt do
increase in skeletal and muscle length
The length-tension relationship is modified through muscle lengthening as
bones grow
Muscles increase in length through the addition of
sarcomeres and fibers
increase strength leads to …
increase muscle mass
what gender has a rapid increase in strength and endurance
throughout entirety of adolescence
males
when do females peak at their strength
onset of puberty
Peak strength seen in
young adulthood (20-30)
Muscle strength declines at age
30
Coordination declines in
30s
Each decade, ___ of muscle mass is lost
5%
at what age do you experience steady decline in strength; impaired function
50 years old
30% decline in strength
between 50-70
rapid decline in strength
70 years old
loss of muscle mass and function
sarcopenia
in someone who has sarcopenia there is a decrease in
number of fibers
mass of fiber s
number of function motor units
Senile muscular atrophy
muscle wasting
sarcopenia and senile muscular atrophy happen in what age groups
older adults
in older adults there is a ____ in strength and speed of muscular contraction
decrease
there is a greater decline in __ and ___ ___ compared to ___ ____ in older adults
trunk and LE
UE
Pattern of muscle weakness is
proximal
Increased rate in loss of ______. fibers compared to _______. fibers
type II fast-twitch, type I slow-twitch
Osteoblast
create bone
osteoclast
absorb bone
Compact bone:
hard and dense outer layer
Spongy bone:
flexible inner layer containing bone marrow
