Q

Classification of bones

A
  1. Long bone– More long then wide (ex. most bones of the limbs)
  2. Short bones – they are as long as they are wide. Their function is to provide support and stability with little to no movement. They are roughly cubed shaped.
    (Ex. Bones of the wrist(carpals) and the ankles.)
  3. Flat bones – principal function is either extensive protection or The provision of a broad surface For muscular attachment. Thin, flattened, have a bit of a curve.
    (Ex. Sternum and most skull bones.)
  4. Irregular bone – fit none of the other classes, serve purposes such as protection of the nervous tissue
    (Ex. Vertebrae - protects spinal cord, and the hip bones.)

Q

Hematopoiesis and

A
  • The process in the body by which all blood cells are formed
  • this process occurs only in the red marrow
  • in adults the long bones are filled with yellow marrow so hematopoiesis does not occur
  • yellow marrow can convert to red marrow if a person becomes very anemic

Q

What is the largest joint in the body?

A

The knee joint

36
Q

The knee joint

A

– Allows 3 different types of movement: extension, flexion and rotation
- 2 different types of ligaments: has both extra- and intra-capsular ligaments
– The patellar ligament runs from the patella(kneecap) to the tibia
(this is the ligament that physicians tap to test the knee – jerk reflex)

37
Q

Which joint is the most susceptible in the body to sports injury?

A

The knee joint

38
Q

Why is the knee joint most susceptible to body sports injury?

A

– It bears most of the weight of the body
– The articular surfaces are not well fitted.
-The most dangerous injuries are lateral blows to extended knee.

39
Q

___% of all pro football players will be injured

A

50

40
Q

Extracapsular ligaments

A

Important for holding the femur and tibia in contact
Located on the outside of the knee joint

Examples:

  • lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
  • medial collateral ligament (MCL)
41
Q

Intra-capsular ligaments

And which is stronger?

A

Found within the knee joint

  • has a pair called the cruciate ligaments because they cross each other
  • EX:
    1. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
    2. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) - stronger than the ACL
42
Q

One of the most common knee injuries

A

Anterior cruciate ligament tear (ACL tear)

-May need surgery to regain full function of their knee

43
Q

Lachman test

A
  • A clinical test used to diagnose injury of the anterior crucial ligament (ACL)
  • knee is flexed at about 20 to 30° with the patient lying on their back (supine position.)
44
Q

Treatment for ACL tear

A

– Depends on the severity
– If it’s a partial tear, in many cases it can repair on its own
(6 weeks)
– For more severe tears surgery is usually required; involves reconstructing or repairing the ACL
Reconstruction surgery will use a graph to replace the ligament (most common graphs are autographs- that is using part of your own body; such as the tendon of the kneecap(patellar tendon) or one of the hamstring tendons.

45
Q

Common joint injuries

A 
– Sprains 
– Dislocations 
– Bursitis
– Tendonitis 
– Arthritis
– Gout
46
Q

If a word ends in “itis” that means

A

An inflammation of something

47
Q

What is a sprain, common sites of a sprain, treatment for a sprain

A

– A sprain is the ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched or torn (swelling is common with sprains)
– Common sites for a sprain are the lumbar region of the spine, ankle, knee
– Treatment for a sprain: A partial tear repairs itself, repair is slow since ligaments are poorly vascularized. A rapture ligament require surgery.

48
Q

Acronym treatment for sprains:

A 
RICE
– Rest
– Ice
– Compression
– Elevation
49
Q

What is a dislocation, what areas are primarily affected, what is the treatment for A dislocation:

A

– A dislocation is when bones are forced out of their normal position in a joint cavity (common injury in contact sports, falling, or an auto accident.)
A dislocation is painful and immobilizes the joint.
– Most commonly affected areas include the shoulders, elbows, fingers, ankles, knees, hips, and jaw
– treatment for a dislocation: prompt medical attention is needed to put the joint back in place. The returning of bones back to their normal position in the joint cavity is known as reduction (reduce). This should only be done by a doctor. (Followed by several weeks of rest.)

50
Q

Nursemaids elbow/babysitters elbow

A

A dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the forearm of a child
– Like when a child is tugging on an uncooperative child
– Or by swing the child by their arms while playing

Q

What is the most common type of arthritis?

A

Osteoarthritis

57
Q

Osteoarthritis

What is osteoarthritis, what are the affects, and what are the causes, Who is it most prevalent in, how does it progress

A

– Osteoarthritis is non-inflammatory, it is degenerative (wear and tear arthritis), and it is the most common arthritis.
– Affects articular cartilage is which cover the ends of the bones, wears bones down until the bones are making contact with other bones (crepitus, noise associated w this)
– Cause: ischemia (not enough blood to the joint.)
– Most prevalent among elderly
– Osteoarthritis is slow and irreversible

58
Q

Crepitus

A

Crunching noise with movement associated with osteoarthritis

– Cartilage that covers the ends of the bones is worn away, and now the bones are making contact with one another

59
Q

Treatment for osteoarthritis

A

– Moderate exercise to improve blood flow and prevent stiffness
– Tylenol for pain

  • Shinbaropharmacopuncture - inserted into relevant accupoints - reduces inflammation swelling and localized fever, pain control
  • Bee venom - inflammation/pain control, boosts self-healing power of the body
  • Motion Style acupuncture treatment - accelerates the secretion of fluids, Helps restore motion, Movement is possible immediately after treatment
  • jaseng herbal medication: gwanjulo and Gwanjulhwan – Proven effective for regeneration of The damaged cartilage, and preventing degeneration of the joints.

A

Muscles with the same action

Example: internal and external oblique muscles

73
Q

How are muscles named, and examples

A

– Location: example is temporalis- located at the top of the temporal bone in the head.
– number of origins: example is biceps brachii- bi means two, named bc there are two origins
– Size: examples are gluteus maximus and adductor Magnus- Maximus and magnus imply that the muscles are large
– Location of origin and insertion: example is sternocleidomastoid-because the origin and insertion are located on the sternum and on the clavicle and mastoid bone

76
Q

Cardiac muscle

A 
– located only in the heart
– Contraction is steady
– Involuntary muscle
– Striped
– Found in the walls of the heart
  • under a microscope different from skeletal muscle because of the dark areas between the stripes
77
Q

Smooth muscle

A

– located in Walls of hollow organs like the digestive system and blood vessels
– Contracts slowly
– Involuntary

– under a microscope different from skeletal and cardiac muscle because there are no stripes or striations

80
Q

Duchenne muscular dystrophy

What is it, cause, age onset, sexes affected, Life expectancy

A

– A genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness.
– Cause: caused by the absence of dystrophin-protein that helps keep muscles intact. Also carried on the X chromosome
– Onset is in early childhood usually between ages three and five
– Disease primarily affects boys, but in rare cases it can affect girls
– Really live beyond adolescence

81
Q

Genetics for Duchenne muscular dystrophy/inheritance pattern

A

– There is a One in four chance of having an effective child, there’s a One in two chance that if it is a boy he will have it

82
Q

Symptoms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

A

– Calf muscles appearance well-developed(hypertrophy) but are actually wasted away (atrophy); muscle was replace by fat so they’re weak instead of muscular
– Other muscles are actually wasted (atrophy) and appear so: 1. Walk later and fall frequently 2. Walk in a waddling manor with a scissors gait
– lordosis (swayback)

Q

Prognosis for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

A

– Progresses slowly
– Eventually involves all voluntary muscles
– Wheelchair bound by 10
– Survival rare beyond 20
– That is usually due to heart or respiratory failure (asphyxiation)
