Q

Functions of the musculoskeletal system- Movement

A

Movement: is generated because muscles are attached to bones via tendons; contraction generates a force, causing motion across a joint

Q

Functions of the musculoskeletal system- Protection

A

Protection: provides protection to the more fragile organs and structures beneath them. Bones deflect and absorb energy. The skull protects the brain, the rib cages protects the heart, and lungs, and the spinal column protects the spinal cord.

  • Irregular
  • Round
27
Q

Long Bone

A
  • Longer than wide
  • Femur, humerus, tibia, fibula
  • Radius and ulna
28
Q

Short

A
  • Nearly as wide as long
  • Phalanges, metacarpals and metatarsals
29
Q

Flat

A
  • Thin, broad
  • Sternum, ribs, scapulae, and skull
30
Q

Irregular

A
  • Nonspecific shape
  • Designed for a specific function
  • Vertebral column, mandible
31
Q

Round

A
  • Proximal to a joint and help with movement
  • Patella
32
Q

Physis (growth plate)

A

Once a person reaches adulthood, the growth plate closes and the mature adult bone is complete.

33
Q

What three regions is the long bone divided into?

A
  • Epiphysis
  • Diaphysis
  • Metaphysis
34
Q

Periosteum

A
  • Portion of the bone not covered by cartilage
  • Dense, fibrous membrane
  • Contains capillaries and cells that are important for bone repair and maintenance
35
Q

Endosteum

A
  • Lines the hollow inner portion of the shaft
  • Similar to periosteum, but on the inside
  • Contains yellow, fatty marrow in adults
36
Q

Medullary Canal

A
  • Hollow inner portion of the shaft
  • Entrance for nutrient artery
37
Q

Joints

A
  • When 2 bones come together, they articulate with one another to form a joint
  • Some are fused, allowing no motion (skull)
  • Other permit motion, typically within a plane that is defined by the structure of the bone
38
Q

Flexion

A

Elbow joint when the hand is brought near the shoulder

39
Q

Extension

A

Straightening your arm or bending your head back

40
Q

Abduction

A

Movement away from the midline of the body

41
Q

Adduction

A

Movement towards the midline of the body

42
Q

Rotation

A

Revolves around a single long axis. Moving head side to side

43
Q

Circumduction

A

To move a limb in a circular motion

44
Q

Pronation

A

Rotation of the forearm turning the palm inwards towards the body

45
Q

Supination

A

Turning the palm outwards so it faces away

46
Q

What are the type of joints?

A
  • Fibrous
  • Cartilaginous
  • Synovial
47
Q

Fibrous Joints

A
  • Fused joints
  • Contain dense, fibrous tissue
  • Do not allow for motion
    • Skull
    • Distal tibiofibular joint
48
Q

Cartilaginous Joints

A
  • “Amphiarthrosis”
  • Allow for minimal motion between bones
    • Pubic symphysis
    • Joint connecting the ribs-sternum
49
Q

Synovial Joints

A
  • “Diarthroses”
  • Most mobile joints of the body
  • Surrounded by joint capsule
    • Extension of periosteum
  • Bones that form them are heal in place by strong ligaments
  • Contain articular cartilage and synovial membrane
    • Synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavity for lubrication

Must remember that with the flexibility of the synovial joint comes a measure of instability that results in damage to ligament and disarticulations of bones

50
Q

Bursa

A

Cavity located within connective tissue
- Usually close to a joint
- Usually lined with synovial membrane and lubricant to reduce friction between tendon and bone or tendon and ligament
- Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa
- Found in elbow, shoulder, and knee

51
Q

Tendons

A
  • Connect muscles to bones
  • Flat, cordlike bands of connective tissue
  • Have a glistening, white appearance
52
Q

Ligaments

A
  • Have similar structure to tendons
  • Connect bone to bone
  • Help maintain stability of joints
  • Determine degree of joint motion
53
Q

Cartilage

A
  • Consists of fibers of collagen embedded in gelatinous substance
    • Provides smooth surface over bones ends where they articulate
  • Cushions (eg, vertebrae)
  • Provides structure (eg, nose, larynx and trachea)
    • Serves as model for formation in skeleton of children
    • Limited neurovascular supply
      Does not heal well when injured due to limited blood supply
54
Q

Muscles

A

Muscles are composed of specialized cells that contract (shorten) when stimulated to exert a force on a part of the body.

55
Q

What are the 3 type of muscles?

A
  • Smooth
  • Cardiac
  • Skeletal
56
Q

Skeletal Muscle

A
  • Includes all muscles attached to the skeleton
57
Q

Muscle Innervation

A

Skeletal muscle innervated by somatic motor neurons
- Transmit electrical signal, causing contraction
- When motor unit receives a signal to contract is does so forcefully or does not contract at all
- All-or-nothing for each motor unit
- To generate a more forceful contraction, more neurons need to signal more muscle cells to contract, a process called recruitment

58
Q

Plexuses (Innervation of the upper extremities arises from the:)

A
  • Brachial plexus
  • Network of nerves that originates from the spinal cord at the C5-T1 levels and provides nerves for upper extremities
59
Q

Plexuses (Innervation of the lower extremities is provided by the:)

A
  • Lumbar and lumbosacral plexuses
  • Originating from L1-S4
  • Leads to formation of distinct nerve such as sciatic nerve
60
Q

Musculoskeletal Blood Supply

A
  • The upper extremity’s blood supply originates from the subclavian artery.
  • Called the axillary artery when it reaches the axilla
  • Becomes the brachial artery after it leaves the axilla
  • Divides into the radial artery and ulnar artery after if passes through the elbow
  • Branches into digital arteries at the fingers
