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
