Exam 4 Material

QuestionAnswer
where two bones come together joint
functional classification of a joint; immovable joints; very strong synarthroses
functional classification of a joint; slightly movable joints; amphiarthroses
functional classification of a joint; freely movable joints diarthroses
example of a fibrous synarthrosis; bones interlock; bound together by dense fibrous c.t. sutures
example of a cartilaginous synarthrosis; rigid bridge between two bones; example of this would be epiphyseal plate in long bones and costal cartilages synchondrosis
example of a fibrous amphiarthrosis; bones connected by ligaments; distal ends of tibia and fibula syndesmosis
example of a cartilaginous amphiarthrosis; bones separated by fibrocartilage; example of this is symphysis pubis and intervertebral discs symphysis
produced by synovial membrane; functions are lubrication,nutrient distribution,and shock absorption synovial fluid
accessory structure of synovial joints fibrous meniscus and accessory ligaments
injury which tears collagen fibers in ligaments sprain
attached to muscles around joint and help support joint tendons
pockets of synovial fluids; cushion areas where tendons and ligaments rub bursae
one part of an intervertebral disk that contains an inner gelatinous mass that provides elasticity and compressibility nucleus pulposus
one part of an intervertebral disk that contains a collar of collagen fibers and fibrocartilage and surrounds the nucleus pulposus annulus fibrosus
functions of this is to hold intervertebrae together,resist tension in spine,and act as shock absorbers intervertebral disk
type of motion whr bone surfaces glide past eachother;this motion takes place between carpals and tarsals gliding or linear
motion where point doesnt move;includes flexion,extension,hyperextension,adbuction,and adduction angular
motion where point doesnt move;forms cone;takes place in a ball and jocket joint;produces a circular motion circumduction
type of motion made when shaking head no rotation
rotation of the forearm;rotates forearm radius over ulna; hands face back pronation
rotates forearm to anatomical position suppination
special movement where sole of foot is twisted medially inversion
special movement where sole of foot is twisted laterally eversion
speical movement where theres flexion at the ankle;lifting toes dorsiflexion
special movement whr theres extension at ankle;pointing toes plantar flexion
special movement whr thumb is moved toward fingers or palms;grasping opposition
special movement whr a part is moved anteriorly in a horizontal plane;pushing part forward protraction
special movement thats opposite of protraction;pulling back retraction
special movement that moves in inferior direction depression
special movement that moves in superior direction elevation
special movement that bends vertebral column from side to side lateral flexion
type of synovial joint that has limited motion;flattened or slightly curving faces;found in sacrum & iliac bones,vertebral costal joints,intercarpal and intertarsals gliding joint
type of synovial joint thats an angular motion in one place;found in knee & elbow,ankle,&between phalanges hinge joint
type of synovial joint that allows rotation only;found between atlas and dens of axis pivot joint
type of synovial joint that has an oval angular face w/in a depression and found between radius and carpals condylar(ellipsoidal)joints
type of synovial joint that has 2 concave surfaces and is straddled and found between the thumb metacarpal and carpal bone saddle joint
type of synovial joint that provides movement in 3 planes-hip and shoulder joint ball and socket joint
disorder that is characterized by wear and tear;most common form of arthritis Osteoarthritis
type of arthritis thats autoimmune;swell and inflame Rheumatoid Arthritis
build of uric acid crystal Gouty Arthritis
ability of muscle cells to respond to stimuli excitability
muscle cells unique ability to shorten when stimulated;enables muscles to pull on bones contractility
ability of muscle cells to stretch again between contractions extensibility
tendency of a muscle to return to original length when tension is released elasticity
point of attachment that doesnt change position when muscle contracts origin
point of attachment that moves toward fixed end insertion
muscle primarily responsible for producing a particular movement agonist or prime mover
muscle whose action opposes that of a particular agonist antagonist
helps agonist work efficiently;may provide additional pull near insertion and stabilize point of origin synergist
the fascicles of this muscle spread out like a fan w/tendon at apex convergent muscle
this muscle is also called a feather pennate
type of pennate muscle whr all fascicles are on same side of tendon unipennate
type of pennate muscle whr fascicles are on both sides of tendon bipennate
type of pennate muscle whr tendon branches w/in pennate muscle multipennate
fascicles concentrically arranged around opening circular muscles or sphincters
group of muscles formed by 4;located in anterior thigh quads
muscles located on the posterior thigh hamstrings
muscles wrap around like a belt transverse abdominis
broad,flat tendon;sheetlike aponeurosis
external collagen layers that surrounds entire muscle epimysium
surrounds bundles of muscle fibers called fascicles;holds b.v. and nerves that supply fascicles perimysium
deepest c.t. layer surrounds individual muscle fiber endomysium
plasma membrane of skeletal muscle fiber sarcolemma
cytoplasm of skeletal muscle fiber sarcoplasm
long protein bundles in sarcoplasm myofibrils
modified smooth ER;forms network around each myofibril;is a reservoir for Ca2+;stores Ca2+ that are necessary for contraction sarcoplasmic reticulum
part of sarcoplasmic reticulum terminal cisternae
infoldings of sarcolemma which penetrate deep into muscle fiber transverse tubules
consists of a T-tubule & terminal cisternae on either side triad
type of myofibril that is made of protien myosin;about 300 myosin molecules bundle together thick filament
type of myofibril thats about 1/2 the size of thick filament;composed of 3 proteins-actin,troponin,tropomyosin thin filament
contractile protein actin
regulatory proteins;control reactions between actin and myosin troponin, tropomyosin
contractile unit;consists of thick filaments;extends from z line to next z line;contains striations sarcomere
results from difference in concentration of charged particles between one point and another electrical potentials
flow of charged particles from one to another electrical current
open and close when voltage across plasma membrane reaches specific voltage voltage-gated channels
also called ligand gated channels;open when specific chemical bonds to channel and close when chemical unbinds chemically gated channels
channels that are slightly open and allow ions to leak thru leaky channels
