Musculoskeletal Test Flashcards
Connect bone to bone
ligaments
connect bone to muscle
tendons
Functions of the skeletal system
protects organs and tissues, bones store excess calcium, move - stabilize
cancellous
spongy bone tissue inside of bone
cortical
compact bone tissue in the diaphysis part
osteocytes
bone cell
osteoblasts
build up bone
osteoclasts
break down bone
axial skeleton
head, ribs, pelvis, vertebrae
appendicular skeleton
arms and legs
skeletal muscle
striated - moves voluntarily
smooth muscle
GI muscles - involuntary - peristalsis
cardiac
little striated - involuntary
fasciae
membrane surrounds muscle
periosteum
outer layer of bone
antagonist muscles
work opposite each other - biceps brachii - triceps brachii
synergistic muscles
work together- rectus abdominis - obliques
synarthrodial
immovable joints - sutures
amphiarthrodial
slightly moveable - vertebrae, ribs
diarthrodial
moveable joints - ball and socket, hinge, gliding, pivot
insertion
place that causes movement
origin
stablized
bursae
bubble of synovial fluid protecting bone from tendon
normal calcium
9-11
kyphosis
exagerated thoracic curbe
lordosis
abnormal lumbar curve
scoliosis
lateral curve
alkaline phosphatase
checks osteoblast activity
gout
too much uric acid forms crystals in joint with arthritis, and can be very painful
arthroscopy
scope to visualize joint
arthrocentesis
aspiration of synovial fluid from a joint
electromyography
electrical impulse to determine nerve, muscular conditions
bone densitometry screen
special x ray to determine osteoporosis- women need after menopause
bisphosphonates - bone resorption inhibitors
alendronate, ibandronate, risendronate
skeletal muscle relaxants
baclofen, dantrolene, cyclobenzaprine
DMARD - disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs
adalimumab, infliximab, methotrexate
