MSK Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Layers of Epidermis
Statum Corneum, Lucidum, Granulosum, Spinosum (spine=desmosomes), Basale (stem cell site) [Californians Like Girls in String Bikinis]
Tight Junction
Zonula Ocludens; no paracellular transport; found apically; composed of claudins and occludins
Adherens junction
Zonula adherens: Below tight junction, belt with actin cytoskeletons with CADherins (Ca2+ dependent adhesion proteins).
Loss of what protein promotes metastasis
E-cadherin
Desmosome
Macula adherens: structural support via keratin interactions. Pemphigus vulgaris has autoantibodies. Desmoplakin between the cells.
Hemidesmosome
Connects keratin in basal cells to underlying basement membrane. Bullous pemphigoid
Integrins function
Maintain integrity of basolateral membrane by binding to collagen and laminin in basement membrane
McMurray test
Pain on external rotation is medial meniscus tear
Pain on internal rotation is lateral meniscus tear
Unhappy triad of Knee Injuries
ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus. Lateral meniscus injury is more common.
Where is pudendal nerve block given
Ischial spine
Innervation of rotator cuff
C5-C6
Suprascapular nerve: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis
Axillary nerve: Teres minor (lies below the infraspinatus)
Pitching injury
Infraspinatus
fact: infraspinatus is below the scapular spine (so teres minor is below the infraspinatus)

Name the carpal bones
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Hamate, captiate, Trapezoid, Trapezium
