Study Notes
Skeletal System
- Axial skeleton: consists of 80 bones that form the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
- Appendicular skeleton: consists of 126 bones that form the upper and lower limbs, pelvis, and shoulder girdle
Bony Landmarks
- Foramen: hole or opening in a bone that allows passage of nerves, blood vessels, or other structures
- Glenoid cavity: shallow depression in the scapula that forms the shoulder joint
- Acetabulum: cup-like depression in the pelvis that forms the hip joint
Bone Cells
- Osteoblasts: cells responsible for bone formation
- Osteocytes: mature bone cells that are embedded in the bone matrix
- Osteoclasts: cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue
- Chondrocytes: cells found in cartilage that produce and maintain the cartilage matrix
Bone Structure
- Epiphysis: ends of a long bone that forms joints
- Diaphysis: shaft of a long bone
Connective Tissue
- Ligament: fibrous connective tissue that connects bones and forms joints
- Fracture: break or crack in a bone
Muscle Physiology
- Origin: point of attachment of a muscle to a bone that remains relatively stationary during muscle contraction
- Insertion: point of attachment of a muscle to a bone that moves during muscle contraction
- Prime mover: muscle that is primarily responsible for a movement
- Antagonist: muscle that opposes the movement of a prime mover
- Synergist: muscle that assists a prime mover
- Fixator: muscle that stabilizes a joint during movement
Muscle Structure
- Sarcomere: functional unit of muscle tissue responsible for contraction
- Threshold: minimum intensity of a stimulus required to generate an action potential
- Action potential: electrical impulse that travels along a muscle fiber, causing contraction
- Neuromuscular junction: site where a motor neuron terminates and forms a synapse with a muscle fiber
- Neurotransmitter: chemical released by a neuron that binds to a receptor on a muscle fiber, stimulating muscle contraction
