musculoskeletal physiology Flashcards
organic components in bone
collagen, mineral elements
bone includes ___% of calcium storage in the body
98
bones have vascular structures; they can
heal themselves, dynamic, changing
component of bone: ___% calcium
37
component of bone: ___% phosphate
17
component of bone: ___% carbonate
10
component of bone: ___% collagen
33
component of bone: ___% potassium
1
component of bone: ___% sodium
1
component of bone: ___% magnesium
1
when daily calcium intake is insufficient, calcium stores are compromised and ____ declines over time
bone mineral density
low BMD leads to
osteopenia
if osteopenia is untreated, it leads to
osteoporosis
osteoporosis
bone disease which causes skeletal structures to become brittle and fragile
osteoporosis can lead to
fractures, disability
2 segments of skeleton
axial, appendicular
axial skeleton
skull, hyoid, vertebral column, rib cage
appendicular skeleton
limbs and respective girdles
bone length increases until
cartilage is ossified in the epiphyseal plates
peak bone mass is attained at age
18
epiphyseal plate
transverse cartilage plates located near the end of long bones
epiphyseal plates are responsible for
increases in vertical growth during childhood/adolescence
long bones
arms and legs
short bones
hands and feet
irregular bones
vertebrae
flat bones
scapula
BMD can be improved until age
30
___, ___, ___ factors dictate the rate of decline of BMD; ____ is a key indicator
genetics, behavior, lifestyle
muscle strength
is there supporting evidence that weightlifting is dangerous to children
no
bone stress during play (jumping/landing) indicates ___ stress when compared to controlled weightlifting performed with 10RM resistance
greater
intersection of two bones
joint
3 major types of joints
fibroid, cartilaginous, synovial
synovial joint
uses synovial fluid to reduce frictional stresses and allow for considerable movement between the associated articulating bones
joints of the appendicular skeleton are mostly _____
synovial
plane joint
allows bones to slide past eachother
plane joint examples
midcarpal, midtarsal
pivot joint
allows rotation around an address
pivot joints are found in
neck and forearm
hinge joint
allows extension and retraction
hinge joints are found in the
knees, elbows, fingers, toes
