Myo-joints & muscles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Functional Joints | Synarthrotic- immovable joint (sutures between skull bones)/ Amphiarthrotic- slightly movable (joints between vertebrae)/ Diarthrotic- free moving (shoulder) |
| Structural Joints | Fibrous-held together by fiber/ Cartilaginous-held together by cartilage/ Synovial-contain all components of synovial joints |
| 4 components of a synovial joint | 1- articular cartilage/ 2- articular capsule/sleeve/ 3- synovial membrane/ 4- synovial fluid/ |
| 6 types of synovial joints (A-the movement, B-the shape, C-example) | 1- Plane/gliding- A-least movement/back&forth/B- between 2 flat surfaces/C- joint between sternum and clavicle 2- Condyloid/ellipsoidal A- circumsuction B- convex and concave C- wrist 3- Saddle A- greater range of circumduction B- saddle like C- thum |
| What are muscles | Organs composed of fiber-like cells that contract, allowing movement |
| 3 types of muscle tissue | 1)Skeletal- voluntary- attached to our bones and moves them/ 2)Smooth- involuntary- contracts to move food and fluid/ 3)Cardiac-involuntary- contracts and pushes blood throughout the body |
| Functions of muscles | 1)Stabilize joints 2)Maintain posture 3)Generates 85% body heat 4)Moves bones 5)moves food and fluid |
| Structure of a skeletal muscle- Endomysium | Each individual muscle cell is enclosed in a connective tissue sheath |
| Structure of a skeletal muscle- Perimysium | Each fascicles, or group of muscle cells, is wrapped in a connective tissue sheath |
| Structure of a skeletal muscle- Epimysium | Many fascicles, bound together to form a muscle, wrapped in a covering |
| Components of a skeletal muscle - Sarcolemma | Cell membrane. Controls what enters/exits the cell |
| Components of a skeletal muscle - Myofibrils | Structural components of a cell that contact and shorten |
| Components of a skeletal muscle - Myofilament | Thread-like protein structure |
| Components of a skeletal muscle- Myosin, Actin, Sarcoplasmic reticulum | Myosin-thick myofilaments/ Actin- thin myofilaments / Sarcoplasmic reticulum- tubes and sacs surround each myofibrils stores calcium |
| Steps involving a sliding filament mechanism | 1) ACh- attaches to its receptor sites in the sarcolemma, allowing the sodium in 2) sacolemma-cell membrane- regulates what enters the cell 3) sodium- alters the electrical charge w/in the cell and causes and electrical signal to travel along to the Sar |
