Q

Have a brief understanding of each part of a muscle.
Muscle belly
Epimysium
Permission
Endomysium
Fascicles
Muscle fiber
Myofibrils
Myofilaments
Sarcomere
Actin
Myosin

A

Muscle belly - the thickest or largest section of a muscle
Epimysium- The epimysium is the dense connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle tissue.
Perimysium - the sheath of connective tissue surrounding a bundle of muscle fibers.
Endomysium- a wispy layer of areolar connective tissue that ensheaths each individual muscle fiber
Fascicles - When a group of muscle fibers is “bundled” as a unit within the whole muscle
Muscle fiber - consist of a single muscle cell
Myofibrils- comprised of thick and thin filaments that are responsible for muscle contraction
Myofilaments - a numbers of tiny fibres (myofilaments) that provide the contractile power of muscles.
Sarcomere - the basic contractile unit of muscle fiber. Each sarcomere is composed of two main protein filaments—actin and myosin—which are the active structures responsible for muscular contraction.
Actin - thin filament
Myosin - thick filament

32
Q

What is bursa

A

Fluid filled pad located around a joint. Prevents wear and tear, decreases friction and shock. Usually found between moving structures (ligaments, tendons and close moving joints)

33
Q

What is the function of bursa

A

Prevents wear and tear. decrease friction and shock. Usually found between moving structures(under tendons ligaments and close to moving joints)

34
Q

What is the relationship between nerves and the musculoskeletal system

A

Nerves are directly responsible for controlling muscle movement within the musculoskeletal system, sending signals from the brain through the spinal cord to muscles, causing them to contract and generate movement

35
Q

What is a plexus?

A

medicine, a network or tangle of lymphatic vessels, nerves, or veins

36
Q

List the 4 main plexuses of the body

A

cervical plexus, brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, and saccral plexus

37
Q

What are the cranial nerves?

A

Cranial nerves are a set of 12 nerves that originate from the brain and brainstem and send electrical signals to different parts of the head, face, neck, and torso

38
Q

Define the term innervation

A

The nerve supply, usually to a specific part of the body.

39
Q

What are the radiographs capable of used/ for visualizing

A

It is used to diagnose or treat patients by recording images of the internal structure of the body to assess the presence or absence of disease, foreign objects, and structural damage or anomaly

40
Q

What will the patients experience when undergoing this procedure

A

Patients may experience a range of feelings during a radiography procedure, including fear, anxiety, and discomfort.

Q

Can the procedure of radiography affect a patients ability to participate in therapy

A

It can cause fear

Q

What is the purpose of a bone densitometry test?

A

is used to measure bone strength and density
