Musculoskeletal Flashcards
5 Functions of Musculoskeletal
Movement Mechanical support Protection Production of erythrocytes Structural support
Functions of Bones
Shape
Support
Production of erythrocytes in bone marrow
5 Types of Bones
Long - femur Short - carpals Sesamoid - kneecap Flat - cranium Irregular - vertebrae

Main Function of Muscles
Contractibility for movement
3 Types of Muscles
Skeletal - voluntary
Smooth - involuntary
Cardiac - involuntary
How Muscles Allow for Movement
Muscles receive signal from nervous system
Opposing forces - biceps shorten, triceps lengthen to flex bicep
How do Muscle and Bone Move Together
Muscle move body parts by contracting then relaxing
Muscles can pull bones but can’t put them back in original place, so they work in pairs of flexors and extensors
Different Types of Joints
Ball and Socket - hip
Saddle - base of thumb
Hinge - elbow
Synarthrosis Joints
Synarthrosis - fibrous - skill
Amphiarthrosis - cartilaginous - spinal column
Diarthrosis - freely moveable, knew joint
Synovial Fluid
Keeps joints moving freely, cushions ends of bones, reduces friction
Ligaments
Bands of connective tissue
Bone to bone
Stabilises joints
Tendons
Fibrous tissues
Bone to muscle
Move structures
Cartilage
Connective tissues, covers ends of bones to reduce friction and prevent osteoarthritis
Fracture Vs Dislocation on X-ray
Fracture - visible line
Dislocation - out of place
Common Conditions of Knee Joints
Arthritis - loss of joint space
Osgood-Schlatter - usually normal
Mandible
Jaw
Top 7 vertebrae (breakfast)
Cervical region
Thoracic Region
12 vertebrae (lunch)
Lumbar Region
Lower 5 vertebrae (dinner)
Calcaneous
Heel
Broken bone healing
Blood clot forms at fracture Repair cells arrive Blood clot replaced by collagen fibres Bone forms callus Fibres arrange parallel to each other making them stronger
Strain
Injury ti muscle or tendon
Sprain
Injury to ligament
Cholangiogram
Looks at bile ducts, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Shows blockages, or gallstones
Used during surgery because ultrasound can’t be performed when abdomen is cut open
Radiopaque Dye
Dye that doesn’t allow for passage of raditation - shows blockages or buildups
