Week 3- Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Movement occurs from the interaction between ________.
-Sensory/perceptual
-Cognitive
-Motor/action systems
This system provides sensory information about the body and environment
Sensory/perceptual system (afferents)
This system the attention, planning, problem solving, motivation, and emotional aspects of motor control
Cognitive system
This system includes the neuromuscular and biomechanical systems control the execution of functional movement
Motor/action system
A motor neuron and its associated muscle fibers. The basic functional units of skeletal muscle.
Motor units
__________ activity represents the final output of the CNS and their role in motor control is widely studied.
-Motor unit
The higher centers of the nervous system and the effector organs of movement
Functional motor unit
This part of the nervous system control speed and force of movement
Primary motor context
This part of the nervous system is involved in preplanning movements
Supplemental motor area
This part of the nervous system assists in visually guided movements
Premotor cortex
This part of the brain coordinates movements based on accuracy, timing, and intensity
Cerebellum
This part of the nervous system controls posture and adaptation to varying tasks or environments
Basal ganglia
The _____________ system composes the execution structures for movement
Musculoskeletal
One motor unit and all the muscle fibers it innervates
Motor unit
Two main periods of gestation development
-Embryonic
-Fetal
How long is the embryonic period?
0 to day 60 (about 2 months or 8 weeks)
How long is the fetal period?
Day 60 and on
What are the stages of early development?
-Fertilization
-Implantation
-Gastrulation
When is fertilization?
Day 1
When is implantation?
Day 6/7
When is gastrulation?
Day 15/16
A phase early in the embryonic development of most animals, during which the single-layered blastula is reorganized into a trilaminar structure.
Gastrulation
What are the three germ layers?
-Ectoderm
-Mesoderm
-Endoderm
When does embryogenesis occur?
8 weeks after fertilization
True or false: All limb structures are present when embryogenesis is complete.
True
Where does the muscular system develop from?
Mesoderm
During the second half of gestation, there is a rapid increase in:
Number and size of muscle fibers
Slow twitch tonic fibers
Type I muscle fibers
Fast twitch phasic fibers
Type II muscle fibers
True or false: Type I muscle fibers form at 30 weeks gestation
False
(Type I form at 21 weeks)
True or false: Type II muscle fibers form at 21 weeks gestation
False
(Type II form at 30 weeks)
True or false: All skeletal muscles are developed by birth
True
Combination of slow and fast twitch muscles
Mixed muscles
Alters the muscle fiber orientation
Change in direction of muscle fibers
Separating into multiple layers
Splitting into myotomes
Formation of aponeurosis: a sheet of connective tissue
Degeneration
At birth, muscle mass is only ____% of total body mass
25%
True or false: There is increased muscular strength as muscles grow and mature during infancy/childhood.
True
Male or female?
14 fold increase in fiber number
Fiber size and strength increases until adolescence
Muscle mass increases 41-53% of total body mass
Male
Male or female?
10 fold increase in fiber number after birth
More rapid increase in fiber size compared to males
Muscle mass increases 41-42% of total body mass
Female
The relative type I and type II fiber ratio has reached the adult level at _________. (age range)
Adolescence
This occurs when there is an increase in skeletal and muscle length
Growth spurt
The length-tension relationship during growth spurts is modified through _________ as __________ grow
-Muscle lengthening
-Bones
Muscles increase in length through the addition of _________ and __________.
-Sarcomeres
-Fibers
True or false: Increased strength leads to decreased muscle mass.
False
(increased muscle mass)
When do females peak strength?
Onset of puberty
When is peak strength generally seen?
Young adulthood (early 20s-30s)
Muscle strength declines at age ______.
30
Each decade, ___% of muscle mass is lost
5%
Besides muscle strength, ___________ declines in 30s
Coordination
True or false: There is an increased occurrence of muscle strains at age 30
True
Those who are _____ years old have a steady decline in strength and impaired function
50
Between 50-70 years old, there is a ____% decline in strength
30%
