Quiz 1 Flashcards
What makes up ones flexibility?
JROM Joint ROM
MF Muscle Flexibility
Define Flexibility
The ROM available in a joint
Static Flexibility is
The measured ROM available about a joint or series of joints
Identify 2 Extracellular Fibers that play a significant role.
Collagen and Elastin
Dynamic Flexibility is
A measure of the resistance
or series of joints.
The load bearing of collagen s dependent on 3 properties that establish its Collagen Fiber Suspension Bridge?
Material Properties
Size (areaXlength)
Organization
Describe the formation of a tendon by identifying the “tendon hierarchy” figure 13-5
Tendon (whole) with reticular membrane Fasicle waveform of crimp structure Fibril fibroblasts Subfibril Microfibril 3.5 nm Tropocollagen
What is Ground Substance used for?
A viscous gel that serves to provide lubrication and space between the collagen fibers at intercept points where they cross.
What is ground substance made of?
GAG Glycosaminoglycans
Sugars and proteins
3 mechanical properties of connective tissue.
Elongation
Viscoelasticity
Plasticity
3 physical properties of connective tissue.
Force Relaxation
Creep
Hysteresis
What are the 4 zones of stress strain curve
Toe: elastic
Linear: 3 physical 3 mechanical
Primary Failure: visco plastic force relax creep
Complete Failure: complete fracture
What are the 6 anatomical elements that are possible contributors to muscle stiffness (or resistance to deformation)?
1 Adhesion of 1 fibril to another between muscle
2 The epimysium
3 Perimysium and Endomysium
4 Sarcolemma
5 Contractile elements within the muscle fiber
6 The associated tendons and their insertion
what is epimysium
is a layer of connective tissue, which ensheaths the entire muscle
Collagen
provides skeletal structure that holds C.T. together, enabling the tissue to resist mechanical forces and deformation
