Question
Answer
What are joints?   The points where bones meet.  
🗑
What’s another word for joints?   Articulations.  
🗑
What are fibrous joints?   Sutures in the skull. They don’t move.  
🗑
What’s another word for fibrous joint?   Synarthroses  
🗑
What are cartilaginous joints?   Slightly moveable. Pubic bones and vertebrae are examples.  
🗑
What’s another word for cartilaginous joints?   Amphiarthroses  
🗑
Synoval Joint   Free moving joint, numerous and versatile. Has a joint capsule.  
🗑
Diarthroses   Another word for synoval joint  
🗑
What are the types of synoval joints?   Pivot joint, ball and socket joint, saddle joint, hinge joint, gliding joint, condyloid joint.  
🗑
Pivot joint   Atlas and axis. Rotates head.  
🗑
Ball and socket joint   Cup-like socket. Offer widest range of motion. Shoulders and hip joints.  
🗑
Saddle joint   Shaped like a horse saddle. Only in thumb.  
🗑
Hinge joint   Elbow and knee. Think of the hinge of a door. It can open and close.  
🗑
Gliding joint   Two bones that slide but don’t touch. Metacarpals and carpals.  
🗑
Condyloid joint   Side to side movement like in the wrist.  
🗑
Flexion   Bending of joint  
🗑
Extension   Straightening of a joint  
🗑
Hyperextension   Typically backwards. Stretching a joint beyond its normal straight position.  
🗑
Dorsiflexion   Moving toes up. (Think of a dolphin, their dorsal fin is pointed up)  
🗑
Plantar flexion   Foot pointed downward. (Plant something down into the ground)  
🗑
Abduction   Away from midline. (If you get abducted you get taken away)  
🗑
Adduction   Toward the midline.  
🗑
Circulation   I’m a circular motion  
🗑
Internal Rotation   Bone spins towards the body (spin the bone in)  
🗑
External rotation   Bone spins away from the body. (When you exit you walk away)  
🗑
Supination   Palm upward. (Hold a hot bowl of soup in your palm).  
🗑
Pronation   Palm downward  
🗑
Inversion   Sole moves inward.  
🗑
Eversion   Sole moves away from foot.  
🗑
Shoulders synovial joint   Humeroscapular joint & glenchumeral joint  
🗑
Elbow synovial joint   Humeroulnar joint  
🗑
Knee synovial joint   Tibiofemoral joint  
🗑
Hip synovial joint   Ball & socket joint  
🗑
Arthroplasty   Surgical procedure that replaces a diseased joint.  
🗑
Arthritis   Inflammation of a joint  
🗑
Rheumatoid Arthritis   Autoimmune disease in which the body’s antibodies attack the synovial membranes.  
🗑
Osteoarthritis   Bone on bone rubbing  
🗑
Dislocation   The shoulder is more likely to be dislocated than the hip bones. Ball and socket joints are the easiest to dislocate.  
🗑
What are the different types of muscle?   Cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle  
🗑
Cardiac muscle   Found only in the heart. Involuntary. Straited when viewed under a microscope.  
🗑
Smooth muscle   In digestive tract and uterus. Involuntary and non-straited.  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle   Attached to bone. Straited under microscope. Voluntary muscle.  
🗑
What is the structure of a skeletal muscle?   muscle fiber, endomysium, fascicles, perimysium, epimysium, fascia  
🗑
Muscle fiber   Skeletal muscle cell  
🗑
Endomysium   Connective tissue that covers each muscle fiber  
🗑
Fascicles   Muscle fibers grouped in bundles  
🗑
Perimysium   Sheath of tough connective tissue that encases the fascicles.  
🗑
Epimysium   Connective tissue surrounds the muscle as a whole and binds all fibers.  
🗑
Fascia   Surrounds the muscle.  
🗑
Muscle fiber structure   Myofilament, sarcoplasmic reticulum, sarcolemma. **every muscle fiber has a nuclei**  
🗑
Myofilament (inside)   - made of myosin (thick) - made of actin (thin)  
🗑
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (inside)   -surrounds myofillament -myofibrils store glycogen (for energy)  
🗑
Sarcolemma (outside)   Surrounds muscle fiber cell  
🗑
Actin and myosin   Will be attracted at one point  
🗑
Contraction   Actin and myosin slide together without touching one another.  
🗑
Relaxation   Actin and myosin slide apart without touching one another.  
🗑
Myofibril   The thick and thin myofilaments stack together, alternating with one another to form myofibrils.  
🗑
Sarcomere   Where muscle contraction occurs.  
🗑
Step 1 of how muscle fibers contract   Impulse reaches the end of a motor neuron, small vesicles and cell membrane fuse,release a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.  
🗑
Step 2 of how muscle fibers contract   ACh quickly diffuses across the synaptic cleft, stimulates receptors in the sarcolemma.  
🗑
Step 3 of how a muscle contracts   Send an electrical impulse over the sarcolemma and onward along the T rubules. Impulse in the T tubles cause the sacs in the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium  
🗑
Step 4 of muscle fibers contraction   Calcium binds with troponin on the actin filament to expose attachment points. Myosin heads of the thick filaments grab onto the thin filaments and contraction occurs.  
🗑
Muscle Fiber Relaxation   Nerve impulses stop arriving at the neuromuscular junction, ACh is no longer needed. Calcium gets absorbed.  
🗑
Threshold stimulus   Need a minimum amount of voltage for muscles to contract.  
🗑
Twitch   Single, brief contractionn  
🗑
Treppe   Contracts several times in a row, the contraction will increase or get smaller  
🗑
Tetanus   Muscle contracting  
🗑
Incomplete tetanus   Over time they come back to back and the muscle doesn’t have time to completely relax.  
🗑
Complete tetanus   Long contraction with NO relaxation.  
🗑
Muscle tone   Complete tetanus  
🗑
Isometric   Tension increases in muscle fibers but it’s length remains the same.  
🗑
Isotonic contraction   Tension stays the same but the muscle shortens  
🗑
Isometric contraction   Plank excercise  
🗑
Isotonic contraction   Lifting weights  
🗑
Origin   End of the the muscle that attaches to the more stationary bone.  
🗑
Belly   Thick midsection of the muscle  
🗑
Insertion   End of the muscle that attaches to the more moveable bone.  
🗑
External intercostal   Lie superficially between ribs; elevate the ribs during inspiration.  
🗑
Internal intercostal   Lie deeper than the external intercostal; depress the ribs during forced exhalation.  
🗑
Diaphragm   Enlarged the thorax to trigger respiration.  
🗑
Deltoid   Abducts, flexes and rotates the arm. Involved in swinging the arm; also raises the arm to perform tasks, such as writing on an elevated surface.  
🗑
Energy source   All muscle contraction requires energy in the form of ATP.  
🗑
Energy storage   Muscles only store very small amounts of atp  
🗑
Energy storage   A few seconds of activity will completely deplete the atp within a muscle fiber.  
🗑
Origin   End of a muscle that attaches to the more stationary bone.  
🗑
Belly   Thick midsection of the muscle  
🗑
Insertion   End of the muscle that attaches to the more moveable bone  
🗑
External intercostal   Lie superficially between ribs; elevate the ribs during respiration.  
🗑
Internal intercostal   Lie deeper than the external, depress the ribs during forex exhalation  
🗑
Diaphragm   Enlarged the thorax to trigger respiration  
🗑
Deltoid   Abducts, flexes and rotates the arm. Involved in swinging the arm; also raises the arm to perform tasks, such as writing on an elevated surface  
🗑
