Musculoskeletal/skin- Anatomy and physiology Flashcards
What are tight junctions composed of?
claudins and occludins
What are adherens junctions composed of?
Cadherins (Ca2+ dep) and actin cytoskeleton
What do desmosomes connect to?
support keratin interactiosns, desmoplakin
What are the channel proteins in gap junctions?
connexons (permit electrical and chemical communication
What do integrins interact with?
bind collagen and laminin of basement membrane
What type of injury is indicated by the anterior drawer sign?
ACL injury
What are the sites of attachment of the ACL and PCL?
ACL- attaches anterior tibia to lateral condyle of femur (prevents anterior movement of tibia)
PCL- attaches posterior tibia to medial condyle of femur (prevents posterior movement of tibia)
What type of injury is indicated by the posterior drawer sign?
PCL injury
What is the unhappy triad injury?
lateral force applied to a planted leg
ACL, MCL, medial lemniscus
What is the McMurray test of knee pain?
pain on external rotation- medial meniscus
pain on internal rotation- lateral meniscus
What injury is indicated by abnormal passive abduction? (valgus stress)
MCL injury
What injury is indicated by abnormal passive adduction?
LCL injury
What bony marker is used to do a pudendal nerve block?
ischial spine
What boney landmark is used for a lumbar puncture?
iliac crest
What is the innervation and action of the supraspinatus muscle?
Innervation: suprascapular
Abducts arm initially
What is the innervation and action of the infraspinatus muscle?
suprascapular nerve
latterally rotates arm
What is the most common rotator cuff injury?
injury to supraspinatus
What rotator cuff muscle is a common pitching injury?
infraspinatus
What is the innervation and action of the teres minor?
axillary nerve
adducts and laterally rotates arm
What is the innervation and action of the subscapularis?
subscapular nerve
medially rotates and adducts arm
What nerve roots innervate the rotator cuff muscles?
C5-C6
What are the wrist bones?
So long to pinky, here comes the thumb
scaphiod lunate triquetrum pisiform hamate capitate trapezoid trapezium
What wrist bone can be palpated in the anatomical snuff box?
scaphoid
What is the most commonly fractured carpal bone? What damage can fracture lead to?
Scaphoid
can lead to avascular necrosis
What carpal bone is commonly dislocated? What nerve is damaged by this?
lunate
median nerve damaged (acute carpal tunnel)
What nerve and carpal bone can be injured by falling on an outstretched hand?
hook of hamate
ulnar nerve
What is Guyon canal syndrome? Who typically gets this?
compression of ulnar nerve
cyclists- pressure from handlebars
What nerve is damaged by carpal tunnel syndrome?
median- paresthesia, pain, numbness along distribution
What is damaged by Erb Palsy and what are the functional defecits
upper trunk, C5-C6 roots
abduction, lateral roatation, flexion/supination
What is damaged by klumpke palsy? What are functional deficits?
lower trunk, C8-T1 roots claw hand (lumbricals, interossei, thenar, hypothenar)
What muscle and nerve are lesioned with a winged scapula?
long thoracic nerve
serratus anterior
What is injured from thoracic outlet syndrome? How does this present?
lower trunk, subclavian vessels
same as Klumpke palsy (+ischemia, pain, edema)
