Musculoskeletal System and Nervous System Flashcards
Types of tissues
epithelium
muscle tissue
nervous tissue
connective tissue
what is the epithelium
anything that lines a surface or lines cavities
forms outer layer of the skin
4 layers
what are the four layers of the epithelium
simple squamous
simple cuboidal
simple columnar
pseudostratified
what are muscle cells (fibers)
specialized contractile cells organized into tissues that move body parts or alter shape of internal organs
what do muscles do
give form to body and provide heat
what are the types of muscle
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
what is skeletal muscle
striated
long
multinucleated
voluntary
what is cardiac muscle
branching
interrelated discs
fused at plasma membrane
found in heart –> forms most walls of heart
also known as myocardium
involuntary
what is smooth muscle
long
single nucleated
spindle shaped
found in hollow organs –> walls of digestive tract
found in the skin (makes hair stand up)
involuntary
what is the skeletal muscle consisted of
muscle fibers –> structural units of a muscle
endomysium
perimysium
epimysium
what is the endomysium
connective tissue covering individual muscle fiber (inner most layer)
what is the perimysium
connective tissue covering group of fibers (fascicles) (middle layer)
what is the epimysium
connective tissue covering the entire muscle (deep fascia) (outer layer)
what are the functions of the skeletal muscle
agonist
fixators
synergist
antagonist
what is the agonist muscle
it is the prime mover
main muscle responsible for movement
what is the fixator muscles
steady, proximal parts of the limb while movement occurs in distal part
what is the synergist muscle
complements action of prime mover
what is the antagonist muscle
opposes action of prime mover
Ex: tricep is antagonist to flexion of bicep
what are the shapes of skeletal muscles
pennate
fusiform
parallel
convergent
circular
digastric
what is the pennate shape of the skeletal muscle
feather-shaped
can be bi-penate
ex: rectus femoris
what shape is the fusiform skeletal muscle
wider towards middle
narrow at ends
ex: biceps brachii
what is the parallel shape of skeletal muscle
all muscle fibers parallel to each other
what is the convergent shape of skeletal muscle
fan shaped
wider at one end but fibers converge at the other end
ex: pectoralis major
what is the circular shape of the skeletal muscle
used to close and open
ex: eyes and mouth
what is the digastric shape of the skeletal muscle
has two bellies connected by a tendon
what are the four parts of connective tissue
fibrous connective tissue
cartilage
blood cells
bones
what is fibrous connective tissue
has 2 fiber types (collagen and elastic)
consists of loose fibrous connective tissue and dense fibrous connective tissue
what is loose fibrous connective tissue
has more cells and fewer fibers
ex: adipose
what is dense fibrous connective tissue
has more closely packed fibers
can be regular (tendons or ligaments) or irregular (fascia)
what are the parts of connective cartilage
hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic cartilage
what is hyaline cartilage
smooth, glossy, bluish
articular cartilage = hyaline cartilage
what is the fibrocartilage
white
contains many collagen fibers
what is the elastic cartilage
yellowish
found in external ear
what is bone
bone is a type of connective tissue
provides protection, support, mechanical basis of movement, storage for salts, continuous supply of blood cells
main supporting tissue of the body
what is the axial skeleton
head, neck, trunk
what is the appendicular skeleton
bones of the limbs
what is compact bone
provides strength for weight bearing
what is spongy bone
where you find bone marrow
if bone was all compact, the muscles would not be able to move the heavy bones
parts of the long bone
periosteum
articular cartilage
diaphysis
epiphysis
metaphysis
periosteum
connective tissue covering bone
very sensitive
where pain comes from
articular cartilage
found on the ends of the bone
made up of hyaline
diaphysis
shaft
epiphysis
very ends of the bone
metaphysis
transition b/w diaphysis and epiphysis
classifications of bones
long bone: humerus
short bone: carpal
flat bone: sternum
irregular bone: vertebra
sesamoid bone: patella
vascular and innervation of bones
-nutrient arteries: provide nutrients to bone tissue
-periosteal arteries: supplies periosteum
-metaphyseal and epiphysial arteries: supplies shaft and ends
-nerves: located on periosteum –> periosteal and vasomotor
nerves of the bones
-periosteal nerves
-vasomotor nerves
periosteal nerves
innervate the bones
gives pain, pressure and temperature
vasomotor nerves
innervate the bones
control blood flow going through bones
what are joints (articulations)
-union or junction: b/w two or more bones
-no movement: epiphyseal plates of growing long bone b/w diaphysis and epiphysis
-slight movement: teeth within their sockets
-freely moveable: shoulder joints
what are the types of joints
fibrous joints
cartilaginous joints
synovial joints
