MSK Flashcards
What is the painful arc syndrome?

Lower subscapular
What is lattissumus dorsi innervated by?
Thoracodorsal nerve
What goes thru the quadrangular space of the axilla?
Axillary nerve
What nerves are damaged in “erbs palsy”
C5, C6
What nerves are damaged in ulnar claw?
Ulnar nerve
Complications with hip fracture
Pneuomnia DVT/PE Pressure sores Infection Avascular necrosis
Example of fibrous cartilage?
Between vertebrae = annulus fibrosus
TMJ
What kind of cartilage joint is the pubic symphysis?
Fibrocartilagenous
What components of hyaline cartilage allow it to be flexible and resilient to compressive forces and also rigid and high in tensile strength?
Proteoglycan = flexible and compressible Collagen = rigid and high tensile strength
Synovial cartilage is immune privileged site, true or false?
True
What disease is caused by dysfunction of hydrogen bonds holding collagen strands together?
Scurvy
What type collagen is found in cartilage and skin?
2 - cartilage
1 - skin
Chondrodysplasia syndrome is caused by defect in which collagen types?
9 and 11
What is dysfunctional in ehler’s danlos syndrome?
Covalent cross links of collagen strands
What is the function of hyaluronic acid?
Forms the back bone where aggregated proteoglycans can join to and become immobilise within the collagen matrix.
This allows proteoglycans to attract water while kept under restrain by collagen matrix thereby giving cartilage the properties of being compressible to act as a shock absorber
What is a major cell type of connective tissue?
Fibroblasts
What is the basic layout of connective tissue?
Extracellular matrix and cells
Difference between unilocular and multilocular adipocyte
Single and multiple droplets of lipid
What embryological cells do adipocytes come from?
Mesenchymal cells
What defines the difference between soft loose and soft dense connective tissue?
Low and high collagen content
Example of soft dense connective tissue?
Tendon and dermis
Where are reticular connective tissue found?
Liver, endocrine glands, lymph nodes, spleen
What is reticular connective tissue made of?
Network of fine collagen III fibres AKA reticulin
What kind of cartilage is the larynx made of
Elastic artilage
Which bursa is inflammed in “house maid’s knees”?
Prepatellar bursa
What structures lie within the femoral triangle?
Femoral nerve

What is the drainage of the long saphenous vein?
Femoral vein
What is the drainage of the short saphenous vein?
