musculo exam 1 to learn Flashcards
Arthrokinematics
Refers to the movement of the joint surfaces: 3 times of motion may occur (rolling, sliding, spinning)
Osteokinematics
Extent of anatomic range is determined by:
Shape of joint surfaces
Joint capsule
Ligaments
Muscle bulk
Surrounding musculo-tendinous and bony structure
scalar
only has a magnitude/size
- measures of space - quantities (time, volume, speed, mass, temp, distance, energy, work)
vector
- has a magnitude/size and a direction
- acceleration, velocity, momentum, force, inc/dec in temp)
- ex) muscles
converting kilograms to newtons
multiply kilograms by 10
cardiac muscle
striated, involuntary, branched cells
smooth muscle
circular and long, involuntary, in organs
skeletal muscle
striated and voluntary
Frequency of firing of motor units is limited by
the need for recovery time before re-firing
Magnitude of contraction is dependent upon the
number/frequency of motor units activated
muscular connective tissue superficial to deep
epimysium, perimysium, endomysium
embryonic development germ cell layers superficial to deep
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
endochondrial ossification
hyaline cartilage model
intramembranous ossification
osteoblasts –> spongy bone –> compact bone
remodeling
mechanical stress on bone
wolff’s law
Remodeling occurs in response to physical stress or lack of it
Bone deposited in sites subject to stress
Bone reabsorbed from sites where there is little stress
cortical bone
dense, compact, long bones
cancellous bone
trabecular, spongy, marrow cavities
convex on concave
convex surface slides in the opposite direction of motion
concave on convex
concave surface moves in same direction
