Quiz 2 Flashcards
framework for most organs;
supports, connects, and protects the body;
injurious mechanical forces include tension (torsional and twisting), compression, and shearing
Connective Tissue
muscle to bone - concentrate a pulling force in a limited area
Tendon
bone to bone - strongest in middle and weaker at ends (avulsion)
Ligaments
shock absorber and distributor of forces (firm, flexible support)
Cartilage
made from collagen (protein that forms strong, flexible, inelastic structures); includes tendons, ligaments, and resistant membranes
Collagenous
densest of all connective tissue consisting of living cells and minerals deposited in a matrix.
Bone
energy storage and metabolism, protection, insulation
Adipose
6 Types of Connective Tissue
- Tendon
- Cartilage
- Collagenous
- Bone
- Adipose
- Ligaments
includes …
joint capsule (cuff of fibrous tissue)
ligaments
synovial membrane
synovial fluid
articular cartilage.
Synovial Joints
6 Types of Joints
- Ball & Socket
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Ellipsoidal
- saddle
- Gliding
allows all possible movements (shoulder and hip)
Ball & Socket Joint
flexion and extension only (knee, elbow)
Hinge Joint
permit rotation around an axis (cervical atlas and axis)
Pivot Joint
elliptical convex head in a elliptical concave socket (wrist)
Ellipsoidal Joint
reciprocally concavoconvex (CMC joint of thumb)
Saddle Joint
allows small amount of gliding back and forth or sideways (joints between the carpal and tarsal bones)
Gliding Joint
traumatic joint twist resulting in stretching or total tearing of stabilizing tissues
Sprain
some stretching or tearing (?) with little or no joint instability; mild pain; little swelling; some joint stiffness
First Degree Sprain
some tearing and separation and moderate instability of the joint; moderate to severe pain; point tenderness; swelling; joint stiffness
Second Degree Sprain
total rupture of the ligament with gross instability of the joint; severe pain initially that may subside; severe swelling and joint stiffness
Third Degree Sprain
at least one bone in an articulation is forced out of its normal and proper alignment and stays out until put back or reduced (manually or surgically); can also be termed a luxation.
Dislocations /Luxation
Joint is forced out & stays out ; noticeably out
dislocation/luxation
temporary or partial dislocation; goes out and then pops back in`
Subluxations
T/F: Both a dislocation and subluxation result in loss of limb function, deformity, swelling, point tenderness, and pain.
True
inflammation of tendon from overuse resulting in
pain (dolar)
swelling (tumor)
redness (rubor)
warmth (calor)
crepitus (hearing a door sqweak)
Tendinitis
inflammation of tendon and its protective synovial sheath
(i.e. long flexor tendons of the fingers as they cross over the wrist joint)
Tenosynovitis
inflammation of bursae (small, fibrous fluid-filled sacs lined with synovial membrane that contains small amounts of synovial fluid). As they become irritated/inflamed, they produce more amounts of synovial fluid which increases pressure & more irritation
Bursitis
traumatic arthritis
capsulitis
synovitis
Other inflammations
a fracture in which there is an open wound of the skin
open (compound) fracture
a fracture in which there is no laceration in the overlying skin
Closed (simple) fracture
perpendicular crack to the longitudinal axis of the bone; very little soft tissue damage
Transverse (bending) Fracture
diagonal crack across the bone; two sharp edges; can result in soft tissue damage
Oblique (compression + bending + torsion)
similar to oblique
twisting or rotation causing the fracture to spiral along the longitudinal axis
Spiral (Torsion) Fracture
multiple bone fragments
Communited Fracture
requires screws & wires
Blowout Fracture
one end is driven up into the other end
impacted (compression) fracture
splintering of a bone as in a twig
most often in kids
Green-stick Fracture
fragment of bone pulled away at the bony attachment of a tendon or ligament
Ex. Pulling a hunk of bone from the groin area
Avulsion Fracture
results from
overuse
overload caused by muscle contraction
altered stress distribution in the bone accompanying muscle fatigue
change in the ground surfaces (grass/clay to wood/asphalt surface)
will not show on x-ray until much later
Stress Fracture
Provides sensitivity and communication from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the muscles, sensory organs, various systems, and the periphery. Injuries caused by compression and tension.
Nerve Tissue
4 Nerve Tissue Conditions
- Hypothesia
- Parathesia
- Hyperthesia
- Neuralgia
diminished sense of feeling
