Musculoskeletal Assessment

Question 1

bones

Answer 1

Provide structure, give protection, serve as levers, store calcium and produce blood cells

Question 2

bone tissue formed

Answer 2

by osteoblasts

Question 3

bone tissue broken down

Answer 3

by osteoclasts

Question 4

joints

Answer 4

where two or more bones articulate

Question 5

Fibrous joints

Answer 5

skull

Question 6

cartilage joints

Answer 6

between vertebrae

Question 7

synovial joints

Answer 7

space between bones filled w/ synovial fluid; bones in synovial joints are joined together by ligaments

Question 8

muscles

Answer 8

600 muscles in the body makes up 40% to 50% of its weight. 3 types, they contract and relax to move joints. Muscles give the body shape and produce heat during movement.

Question 9

types of muscle

Answer 9

skeletal (attached to bones by tendons for movement); smooth; cardiac

Question 10

pivot

Answer 10

neck

Question 11

ball and socket

Answer 11

shoulder

Question 12

hinge

Answer 12

elbow

Question 13

saddle

Answer 13

wrist

Question 14

gliding

Answer 14

feet

Question 15

cartilage

Answer 15

Allows bones to slide over one another, reduces friction, prevents damage, absorbs shock. Example: Articular cartilage found on the ends of bones.

Question 16

tendons

Answer 16

connect muscle to bones. Example: Biceps bronchii tendon in the shoulder, which connects the bicep muscle over the head of the humerus to the glenoid fossa.

Question 17

ligaments

Answer 17

connect bone to bone to stabilize joints and limit movement. Example: anterior crutate ligament in the knee, which prevents lateral movement of the knee.

Question 18

bursae

Answer 18

Small, disc-shaped synovial fluid sacs found at friction sites of joints. Example: acromion bursa in shoulder to reduce friction during adduction.

Question 19

meniscus

Answer 19

cartilage disc between bones to absorb shock and cushion joints. Example: the medial and lateral mecisci in the knee, which cushion the tibia and femur.

Question 20

fascia

Answer 20

Flat sheet that line and protect muscle fibers, attach muscle to bone, and provide structure for nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics. Example The outer layer of fascia, which tapers at the end to form tendons. (opens for nerve endings, provides blood supply, allows for draining for lymph nodes
