HBS 1.2 - Muscles &
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Tendon | A tendon is a cord of strong, flexible tissue, similar to a rope. |
| 3 Types of Muscle | The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac. |
| Sarcomere | A sarcomere is the basic contractile unit of muscle fiber |
| Sarcoplasmic Reticulum | a specialized form of the endoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells, dedicated to calcium ion (Ca2+) handling, necessary for muscle contraction and relaxation. |
| Actin filaments | Actin filaments (F-actin) are linear polymers of globular actin (G-actin) subunits and occur as microfilaments in the cytoskeleton and as thin filaments |
| Myosin filaments | carrying the ATPase myosin heads that interact with actin filaments to produce force and movement, |
| Troponin | Troponin is a protein that's found in the cells of your heart muscle. |
| Tropomyosin | Tropomyosin is a protein involved in skeletal muscle contraction. It helps control when a muscle contracts and when it doesn't |
| Adenosine Triphosphate | Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic compound that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis. |
| Skeletal Muscle Diagram | Your musculoskeletal system includes your bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues. |
| Muscle Fatigue | exercise-induced decrease in the ability to produce force |
| Electromyogram (EMG) | measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle. |
| Tetany | a symptom that involves involuntary muscle contractions and overly stimulated peripheral nerves. |
| 3 Types of Joints | synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable). |
| Types of Synovial Joints | hinge (elbow), saddle (carpometacarpal joint), planar (acromioclavicular joint), pivot (atlantoaxial joint), condyloid (metacarpophalangeal joint), and ball and socket (hip joint). |
| Types of Cartilage in the body | hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage |
| Ligaments | Muscles allow for movement, ligaments attach bones, and tendons connect muscle to bone |
| Range of Motion (ROM) | the extent or limit to which a part of the body can be moved around a joint or a fixed point |
| Categories of Movement | Rotation (Medial & Lateral), Circumduction, Abduction, Adduction, Depression, Elevation, Dorsiflexion, Plantar Flexion, Flexion, Extension, Supination, Pronation, Inversion, and Eversion |
| Goniometer | an instrument that measures angle motion at a joint |
| Kinesiology | The study of movement |
| Knee Joint | Meniscus, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and Bursa |
| Knee Injury Assessments | Anterior Drawer Test, Posterior Drawer Test, Valgus Stress Test, and Varus Stress Test |
