Assessment of Musculoskeletal Function

QuestionAnswer
The shaft of the long bones are also known as this? Diaphysis
The ends of the long bones? Epiphyses
The ends of the long bones are covered at the joints by (tough, elastic, and avascular tissue). Cartilage
Function in the bone formation by secreting bone matrix. Osteoblasts
Mature bone cells involved in bone maintenance; they are located in lacunae. Osteocytes
located in Howship's lacunae; multinuclear cells involved in dissolving and resorbing bone. Osteoclasts
The microscopic functioning unit of mature cortical bone. Osteon
Lacunae in cancellous bone layered in an irregular lattice network. Trabeculae
Bone formation Osteogenesis
Process by which the bone matrix is formed and hard mineral crystals composed of calcium and phosphorus are bound to the collagen fibers. Ossification
Old bone is removed and new bone is added to the skeleton. Remodeling
Removal or destruction of bone. Resorption
Bone reduced in terms of mass and weakness Osteopenic
Occurs when bone is deprived of blood. Necrosis
Stage of bone healing during the first 1-2 days of the fracture. Hematoma formation
Stage of bone healing occurring with the formation of granulation tissue. Inflammatory phase
Stage of bone healing begins during the 3rd - 4th weeks of fracture healing in which mature bone gradually replaces the fibrocartilaginous callus. Reparative phase
Stage of bone healing that occurs as necrotic bone is removed by the osteoclasts. Remodeling
What type of imaging is used to monitor the progress of bone healing. Serial xrays
Junction of 2 or more bones Joint
Fibrous joints that are immovable (ie - skull sutures) Synarthrosis
Cartilaginous joints that allow limited motion. Amphiarthrosis
Synovial joints that are freely movable joints. Diarthrosis
Diarthrosis joint that permits full freedom of movement Ball and socket
Diarthrosis joint that permits bending in only one direction. Hinge
Diarthrosis joint that allows movement in two planes at right angles to each other. Saddle
Diarthrosis joint that allows one bone to move around a central axis without displacement. Pivot
Diarthrosis joint that allows for limited movement in all directions. Gliding
Surrounds the joints. Joint capsule
Lines the joint capsule and secretes synovial fluid. Synovium
Ropelike bundles of collagen fibrils that bind the joints together. Ligaments
Cords of fibrous tissue that connect muscle to bone. Tendons
Sac filled with synovial fluid that cushions the movement of tendons, ligaments, and bones. Bursa
Muscle cells contract in response to this. Electrical stimulation
Contraction of the muscle in which the length of the muscles remains constant but the force generated by the muscles is increased. Isometric contraction
Contraction of the muscle in which the shortening of the muscle without an increase in tension within the muscle. Isotonic contraction
Main source of energy for the muscles cells. ATP
Produced by the maintenance of some of the muscle fibers in a contracted state. Muscle tone
A muscle that is limp and without tone. Flaccid
A muscle with greater-than-normal tones. Spastic
Denervated muscles; soft and flabby. Atonic
Enlargement of muscle from an increase in the size of individual muscle fibers without an increase in their number. Hypertrophy
Decrease in the size of muscle. Atrophy
Increased forward curvature of the thoracic spine that causes a bowing or rounding of the back, leading to a hunchback or slouching posture. Kyphosis
An exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine; swayback. Lordosis
A lateral curving deviation of the spine. Scoliosis
Assessed by having patient walk away from the examiner for a short distance. Gait
Grating or crackling sound or sensation at the point of abnormal motion. Crepitus
Excessive fluid within the capsule of a joint. Effusion
Most common site for joint effusion. Knee
Complete separation of joint surfaces. Dislocation
Partial separation of joint surfaces. Subluxation
Rhythmic contraction of a muscle. Clonus
Involuntary twitching of muscle fiber groups. Fasciculation
Jewelry, hair clips, hearing aids, credit cards with magnetic strips, and other metal-containing objects must be removed prior to this diagnostic test. MRI
This level is altered in patients with osteomalacia, parathyroid dysfunction, Paget's disease, metastatic bone tumors, or prolonged immobilization. Calcium
This level is inversely related to calcium levels and are diminished in osteomalacia associated with malabsorption syndrome. Phosphorus
