Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Flexion vs Extension
Opposing muscle groups are often
paired
“Agonist muscles”
In reference to a specific movement, the agonist muscles are the muscles that contract in order to produce the movement.
The opposing muscle group would be the antagonist muscles

Bone congruence at a joint
the degree to which bone surfaces are in reciprocal contact
motions permitted at a synovial joint
determined by the shapes of the bones and bone articular cartilages, and by the ligaments, tendons, capsule and other structures limiting motion at the joint.
FIBROUS DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE forms
the fibrous capsules surrounding joints, the ligaments restricting unwanted motion at joints, and the muscle tendons crossing the joints.
Plates of HYALINE CARTILAGE
cap the articular ends of bones at joints, improving bone congruence and acting as resilient cushions for compressive stresses on joints. Some joints include fibrocartilaginous discs or menisci.
FIBROUS DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE in ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules
Consists of fibrocytes and the closely packed Type I collagen fibers secreted by fibroblasts, the active form of fibrocytes. Fibrocytes are sparse in tendons and ligaments. The collagen fibers in ligaments and tendons resist tensile and bending stresses, and the fibers are typically oriented in the direction of the prevailing tensile stress
Ligaments, joint capsules, and tendons repair. . .
Slowly.
Bone is the most vascular of the structural connective tissues and has the greatest capacity for remodeling and repair.
PERICHONDRIUM
Hyaline cartilage is surrounded by a PERICHONDRIUM consisting of an outer fibrous layer and an inner cellular layer.
Cartilage growth begins at the perichondrium. CHONDROBLASTS synthesize the collagen fibers and glycosaminoglycans forming the resilient extracellular matrix. As they synthesize extracellular matrix, the chondroblasts move inward, occupying small lacunae, and eventually becoming trapped as inactive CHONDROCYTES. Cartilage is avascular, and oxygen and nutrients from the perichondrium diffuse inward through the extracellular matrix to reach chondroblasts and chondrocytes. Cartilage has very limited repair capacity and typically heals poorly.
Cartilaginous Joints vs Fibrous Joints
Intervertebral disks
Synovial Joints
Features of ALL SYNOVIAL JOINTS include a joint cavity, hyaline articular cartilage capping bone ends, synovial membrane secreting synovial fluid, outer fibrous capsule, and internal or external ligaments stabilizing the joint. Features of SOME SYNOVIAL JOINTS include intraarticular discs or menisci.

costal cartilages
EXPANSION OF THE CHEST WALL occurs as the costal cartilages stretch and the surfaces of the synovial plane joints between ribs and vertebrae glide across one another.
