Mechanical Behavior of Tissues Flashcards
What are the 7 various loading modes
- Unloaded
- Tension
- Compression
- Bending
- Shear
- Torsion
- Combined Loading
What does bending create
Tension and compression
What does torsion create
Tension on outside but compression on inside
What is characterized by a wide dispersion of cells in the presence of a large extracellular matrix
Connective tissue
What are the parts of CT at the microscopic layer (2)
- Interfibrillar component
2. Fibrillar component
True or False:
CT are unique among body structures and function is determined by ECM
True
What does blast mean
Creating, immature cell
What does cyte mean
Mature cells
What is interfibrillar composed of
Hydrated proteins
What hydrated proteins make up interfibrillar (2)
- Proteoglycans (PGs)
2. Glycoproteins
What make up proteoglycans
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
What are glycosaminoglycans
Polysaccaride chains
What are examples of glycosaminoglycans (3)
- Chondroitin
- Chondroitin sulfate
- Hyaluronon
True or False:
The proportion of PGs in extracellular matrix effects hydration
True
What charge do GAGs have
Negative
What does GAGs having a negative charge do
Causes PGs to cause swelling pressure leading to flow of water into matrix
What resist and contain the swelling
Collagen fibers
Tissues subjected to high compression forces have a blank PG content
High
Tissues subjected to high tensile forces have a blank PG content
Low
What are the 2 major components of Fibrillar
- Collagen
2. Elastin
What is the most abundant protein in the body
Collagen
Most common types of collagen fibers
I and II
What allow the fibers to deform under force and return to original state
Elastin
What color is elastin
Yellow
What are some characteristics of elastin and collagen
Sparsely vascularized, parallel fibers, and DCT in tendons and ligaments
True or False:
DCT require a longer resistance hold to lengthen than muscle
True
What do fibroblasts synthesize
Procollagen
What happens to procollagen
It is cleaved extracellularly to produce type I collagen
Which way is each polypeptide chain coiled
Left handed
How many alpha chains are coiled together in a right handed helix
3
What are cross links formed by
GAGs between collagen molecules
True or False:
All biological tissues posses viscoelastic properties
True
What would happen if low amount of elastin in tendon
Easy sprains
What would happen if large amount of elastin in tendon
Delayed muscle contractions
What has more elastin tendons or ligaments
Ligaments
Who found that there is 2:1 elastic to cartilage ratio in the ligamentum flavum
Nachemson and Evans
What does the 2:1 ratio of the ligamentum flavum do
Provides a preload to motion segments
Tissues increase their structural or functional capability in response to overloading (stimulus response)
Overload
What is the overall idea of overload
To make tissue you must stimulate the tissue
Specific stimulus for adaption elicits specific structural and functional changes in specific elements
Specificity
Specificity overall idea
Task specific (meets demands of the task)
discontinuing training stimulus will result in de-training and the adaptive changes regress
Reversibility
Reversibility overall idea
stop training leads to disuse atrophy
What does SAID stand for
Specific Adaptions to Induce Demands
True or False:
Too much or too little overload is bad
True
How do you strengthen cartilage
Compressive loads because it’s function is to resist compression
What is the property of a material or structure to return to its original form following removal of deforming load
Elasticity
Overall idea of elasticity
An object will stretch and then return back to its original state
What is the property of a material to deform permanently when its loaded beyond its plastic range
Plasticity
Overall idea of plasticity
Property of an object to stretch and maintain the shape
What is the property of a material to resist loads that produce shear, controls fluid rate of flow
Viscosity
True or False:
Viscosity is the solid property and elastic materials is the fluid property
False
When is energy released and stored
Released: during unloading
Stored: during loading
True or False:
Higher rate forces do not have time to dissipate rapidly through the cracks
True
True or False:
Low rate forces also do not have time to dissipate rapidly through the cracks
False
Which results in more tissue damage low rate or high rate
High rate
What is the creep phenomenon
Load is suddenly applied and then held constant over time
What load
Stress
What is deformation
Strain
True or False:
Deformation reaches equilibrium
True
Stress relaxation is a constant what
Strain
During stress relaxation and creep what is held constant
Deformation
True or False:
The force required to maintain deformation decreases overtime
True
What happens during cyclic loading
Tissue stretches and returns back to original
Is cyclic loading elasticity or plasticity
Elasticity
What happens to the load overtime
The load required to lengthen the tissue decreases
How do you get greater ROM but not stretching
Golgi tendon organ stimulation and heating up tissue
Elongation is what
Strain or deformation
What is all about plasticity
Hysteresis
What does the area under the hysteresis curve represent
Energy or heat loss during change
What does the bottom of the stress strain curve equal
Toe region
What does the middle of the stress strain curve equal
Elastic zone
What does the almost top region equal in the stress strain curve
Yield point/yield stress
What does the tippy top of the stress strain curve equal
Rupture
What is the toe region
Straightening out the fibers, takes a little load to straighten
What is the elastic zone
If you keep a tissue in this zone and release it will go back to the original state
What is the yield point/stress zone
Load at which it will not be elastic and will be plastic
What is the rupture zone
Point where rupture of tissue would occur
What is the plastic zone
The area between the yield point/stress zone and rupture zone
What happens if you spend too much time in the elastic zone
