Musculoskeletal system Flashcards
Movement
Interaction between sensory, cognitive and motor systems
Sensory system
Sensory infor about body and environment
Cognitive system
Attention, planning, problem solving,motivation
Motor system
Neuromuscular and biomedical systems for movement
Motor Unit
Nerve and all the muscle fibers it innervates
Higher centers of NS
Primary Motor Cortex, Supplemental Motor Area, Premotor cortex, cerebellum, Basal ganglia
Primary motor cortex
Speed and force of movement
Supplemental motor area
Preplanning movements, proactive
Premotor cortex
Visually guided movements
Cerebellum
Coordinates movements for Accuracy, timing and intensity
Basal ganglia
Controls posture and adaptation of varying tasks (feedback)
Prenatal MSK
Develops from mesoderm at 2nd 1/2 of grestation, splitting into myotomes, forms aponeurosis
21 wks: type 1
30 wks: type 2
Infant and Childhood MSK
@ birth 25% of body mass is muscle, increase in strength
Males 2m -16yrs MSK
14x increase in fiber numbers until adolescence
Males 5-17yrs MSK
41-53% increase of fibers
Females 3-10yrs Msk
Peak increase in size
Females 5-17years
41-42% increase of fibers
Adolescence MSK
Fibers at adult levels, growth spurt (muscles lengthen when bones grow), strength increases and endurance
