The Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
What are the two different systems in the Musculoskeletal system?
The muscular
system and the skeletal system
What are the three types of muscle tissues structured uniquely to perform their respective functions in the body ?
skeletal, smooth,
and cardiac
what is the Musculoskeletal system composed of?
It is composed of 650 different skeletal muscles found in body organs and vessels as well as the unique cardiac muscle found in the heart.
what is the skeletal system composed of?
It is composed of 270 bones all varying in sizes and shapes
what are the primary functions of the Muscular System?
The skeletal Muscles are voluntary, serve main functions of movement of the bones and protect the vital internal organs.
The involuntary Smooth and cardiac muscles perform the movement needs of various organs and allow the heart to beat in a unique way.
Movement of the muscles voluntary or involuntary(shivering)helps heat body when needed Hemostasis of the body.
How are bones attached to muscle?
via tendons and to each other via ligaments
What two subsystems is the skeletal system divided into?
1) the axialskeletal system composed
of the skill and spinal column, and 2) the appendicular skeletal system composed of the remainder of
the bones in the body
What does each bone have ?
ts own blood supply, nerves, and lymphatic vessels
What is a Joint (articulation)?
is where two or more bones come together
What are the different types of joints?
synovial joints, cartilaginous joints,
and fibrous joints, All having unique functions and movements
What are the primary Functions of the skeletal system?
the bones form the skeleton(body frame work)and moved by muscles, The bones protect vital organs, store minerals, and produce blood cells in the bone marrow.
What are the prefixes and suffixes associated with the muscular system, skeletal system, and joints?
- Myo (Muscle)
- Osteo (Bone)
- Ortho (straight, correct)
- Pedic (feet)
- Articul (Joint)
- Physis (growth, growing)
What are the word roots associated with the muscular system, skeletal system, and joints?
- Arthor (Joint)
- Carpo (wrist)
- chondro (cartilage)
- Crani (skull)
- Femor (Femur)
- Fibul (Fibula)
- Muscul (muscle)
- Ten(Tendon)
What are common diseases, disorders, diagnostic procedures, therapeutic and surgical
procedures, and pharmacology terms associated with the muscular system, skeletal system,
and joints?
osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta, marble bone disease (osteopetrosis), Paget disease of bone, and fibrous dysplasia
What are the names of the muscles in the body?
- Posterior muscles. Gluteus maximus. Biceps femoris. Semitendinosus. Semimembranosus.
- Anterior muscles. Rectus femoris. Sartorius. Tensor fascia latae. Iliopsoas. Pectineus.
- Lateral muscles. Gluteus medius and minimus. Tensor fascia latae. Piriformis.
- Medial muscles. Adductor magnus. Adductor longus. Adductor gracilis. Adductor brevis.
