Week 1 Flashcards
Osteology
Adult skeleton
Axial skeleton
80 bones
Appendicular skeleton
126 bones
Long bones (humerus, fibula)
Good for producing leverage
Short bones (carpals, tarsals)
Good for shock absorption
Flat bones (skull, scapula)
Protection, huge surface for muscles to grow
Kinesiology
Study of motion or human movement
Anatomic kinesiology
Study of human musculoskeletal and musculotendinous system
Biomechanics
Application of mechanical physics to human motion
Structural kinesiology
Study of muscles as they are involved in the science of movement
Irregular bones (vertebrae)
Shaped for specific purpose
Sesamoid bones (patella)
Increase mechanical efficiency
Diaphysis
Shaft of bone
Cortex
Outer coating of bone
Periosteum
Outer coating
Endosteum
Inner coating
Medullary
Blood supply
Epiphysis/Epiphyseal plate
Growth plate, how the bone grows over time
Articular cartilage
Lubricates bone to bone connection
Bone composition
Calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, collagen, and water
Cortical bone
Most outer bone
Low porosity, 5-30% non-mineralized tissue (meaning water and collagen level is low)
(Hard)
Cancellous (trabecular)
High porosity, 30-90% non-mineralized tissue (some flex)
Spongy
Articulations
Connection of bones at a joint usually allow movement between surfaces of bones
3 major classifications of joints (SAD)
Synarthrodial
Amphiarthrodial
Diarthrodial
Synarthrodial
Immovable
Very stable
Amphiarthrodial
Slightly moveable
Slightly stable
Diarthrodial
Very moveable
Bad stability
Articular or hyaline cartilage covers the articular surface ends of the bones inside the joint cavity
absorbs shock
protect the bone
Slowly absorbs synovial fluid during joint unloading or distraction
Secretes synovial fluid during subsequent weight bearing & compression
Explain nutrient availability and waste removal in a diarthrodial joint
From secretion and absorption which happens by way of movement
Through secretion the waste fills out into the synovial capsule and then becomes reabsorbed
Synovial fluid is the mix of waste and nutrients
Synovial fluid
The mix of waste and nutrients
6 types of diarthrodial joints
Arthrodial (Plane) Ginglymus Trochoid (Pivot) Condyloid Enarthrodial (Ball and socket) Sellar (saddle)
Arthrodial (Gliding) joints
2 plane (bi-planar or bi-axial) or flat bony surfaces which butt against each other
Little motion possible in any 1 joint articulation
Usually work together in series of
articulations
Between tarsal bones
Ginglymus (Hinge) joint
A uniaxial (1 plane) articulation
Articular surfaces allow motion in only one plane
Ex. Elbow, knee, talocrural (ankle)
Trochoid (Pivot) joint
Uniaxial articulation
Ex. atlantoaxial joint
odontoid which turns in a bony ring, proximal & distal radio-
ulnar joints
Ex. Ulna locked down while the radius is free to move
Condvloid (Knuckle Joint)
biaxial ball & socket joint
one bone with an oval concave surface received by another bone with an oval convex surface
Motions are flexion, extension, abduction & adduction
(circumduction)
Ex. Knuckles
Enarthrodial
Multiaxial or triaxial ball & socket joint
Ex. Shoulder and hip
Bony rounded head fitting into a concave articular surface
Motions are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, diagonal abduction & adduction, rotation, and circumduction
Sellar (Saddle) Joint
Unique triaxial joint
2 reciprocally concave & convex articular surfaces
Only example is 1st carpometacarpal joint at thumb
Flexion, extension, adduction & abduction, circumduction & slight rotation
Thumb
Physiological movements
flexion, extension, abduction,
adduction, & rotation
occur by bones moving through
planes of motion about an axis
of rotation at joint
Osteokinematic motion
resulting motion of bones relative to 3 cardinal planes
Arthrokinematics
motion between articular surfaces
Accessory Motions
3 specific types
a.Spin
b.Roll
C.Glide
Small motions relative to
Osteokinematics
Roll (rock)
A series of points on one articular
surface contacts with a series of
points on another articular
surface
Glide (slide, translation)
A specific point on one
articulating surface comes in contact with a series of points on
another surface
Spin
A single point on one articular
surface rotates about a single
point on another articular surface
Dynamic Stability
Provided by the muscles
Static stability
Provided by the ligaments
