Musculoskeletal I (MSK I) Flashcards
What are the types of bones?
- long
- short (wrists, ankles)
- irregular (all bones of vertebrate)
- sesamoid (floats in another muscle - in quad, hyoid bone)
- flat (thin –> see through; imp. when there’s a lot of weight)
- sutured
What is the axel skeleton?
has 1 bone (ex: 1 skull, 1 sernum)
What is the apendicular skeleton?
sticks out & is at the end of your torso (will have 2 bones)
Both ____ and _____ mean the area of the bone where the muscle attaches
origin
insertion
Origin:
beginning, more stable bone, doesn’t move as much
- tends to be proximal
Insertion:
end, more moveable bone, bone that will create the action
- tends to be distal - so you can move
What is unique about origins/insertions?
You can have a couple origins and a couple insertions for just one muscle.
Muscle Belly:
All the muscle fibers, contract and creates force
- shrink to move
Muscle Tendon:
Fibrous connective tissue, MUSCLE-BONE, transfers force to move the bone (origin and insertion areas)
- doesn’t shrink
Ligament:
Fibrous connective tissue, BONE-BONE, holds bones together, stops too much motion
- think: tough plastic wrap
Sprains & tears:
ligament
- done something to the ligament
- a lot of bruising
Strain, tear, or pull:
muscle (belly or tendon)
- typ. insertion is pulled
- normally bulge is higher
What are bones for?
Bones are there for support, protection and movement (muscle attachment)
1 bone is considered a _______
vertebrae
The full vertebral column has:
- 7 cervical vertebrae (breakfast)
- 12 thoracic vertebrae (lunch)
- 5 lumbar vertebrae (dinner)
- 5 fused sacral vertebrae
- 1 coccyx
Total= 30 bones
Spinous Process:
What you feel, muscle attachment
- tend to point down - inferiorally
Lamina:
X2
Pedicle:
X2
- “foot”
- directly attached to body
Body:
holds body weight, IV Disc
- largest part of a bone
Vertebral Foramen:
Holds spinal cord.
Lots in a row= spinal canal
- hole in vertebrae
Transverse Process:
X2, sideways muscle attachment
- “side to side”
What are the bony landmarks of a typ. vertebrae?
- spinous process
- lamina
- pedicle
- body
- vertebral foramen
- transverse process
