Question
Answer
3 Functions   Support, Protection, Movement  
🗑
Composed of 6 things   Bones, Cartilage, Ligaments (bone to bone), Tendons (muscle to bone), Muscles, Joints  
🗑
4 Bone Shapes   Long (Arms, legs, fingers, toes), Short (Wrist, ankle), Flat (Skull, sternum, ribs), Irregular (vertebrae, scapula, pelvic girdle)  
🗑
5 Parts of bone structure   Osteoblast (Form bone), Osteocytes (Maintain bone matrix), Osteoclast (Resorb bone), Osteoprogenitor (Source of all bone cells except Osteoclasts), Periosteum (Double-layered connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves that cover bones)  
🗑
Remodeling and repair occur throughout life by   Ossification (Development of bone) and Hormone regulation  
🗑
2 Bone Hormone Regulators   Parathyroid hormone (Simulates ostyoclast activity; Helps with calcium activity cause body will steal calcium from bone if heart or muscle lacks) and Calcitonin (Regulates blood calcium levels, may even steal calcium from blood stream back to bones)  
🗑
Cartilage: What is it, and the 3 kinds?   Firm, flexible connective tissue; 3 types: Elastic, Hyaline, and Fibro-cartilage  
🗑
Function of Skeletal Muscles   Attach to and cover the bones of the skeleton; Promote body movement; Maintain posture; Produce body heat from movement and shivering. 3 types: Skeletal, Smooth, Cardiac  
🗑
4 Functional Properties of Muscle   Excitability (receive and respond to stimuli); Contractibility (Contract/relax, Forcibly shorten); Extensibility (Extent/relax); Elasticity (Ability to resume resting length)  
🗑
3 Types of Joints   Synarthrodial (Immovable, ex. Skull and Epiphyseal plates); Amphiarthrodial (slightly movable, ex. pelvis and vertebral); Diarthrodial (synovial, freely movable, ex. traditional joints)  
🗑
Ligaments connect ? to Joint (bone)   Joint  
🗑
Tendons connect ? to Joint (bone)   Muscle  
🗑
5 P's   Pain, Pallor, Pulse, Paralysis, Parasthesia  
🗑
Assessment of Face and Neck   Puff cheeks, Stick out tongue  
🗑
Assessment of Spine   Touch toes  
🗑
Assessment of Hands   Grip, Phallen’s test  
🗑
Assessment of Hips   Lie, flex knees to chest (One at a time), Comparable lengths of legs  
🗑
Assessment of Ankles and Feet   Flex, point; Eversion, inversion  
🗑
Neurovascular Assessment   If no pulse noted, use Doppler; 5-Ps  
🗑
Psychosocial Assessment   Prolonged absence at work, Job change, Permanent disability, Chronic pain, Body image  
🗑
Calcium Levels   (9-11 mg/dL) (osteoporosis)  
🗑
Phosphorus Levels   (2.5-4.5 mg/dL)  
🗑
RA factor with Lab Tests   arthritis, Scleroderma, lupus  
🗑
Uric Acid Levels   (Gout) (3.5-8 male) (2.8-6.8 Female) (>10 = panic level)  
🗑
Creatine kinase   Measures muscle trauma  
🗑
Bone Density Tests   Mineral density, No metal objects, like MRI  
🗑
Bone Scan   Give you radioisotope, measures uptake; Increase fluids after  
🗑
Other Diagnostics   CT, MRI, X-ray, EMG (Looks at nerve impulses), Arthroscopy (Fiberoptic tube, Pain after, Analgesics), Arthrocentesis (Needle, aspirate synovial fluid)  
🗑
