    Study Notes

    Anatomy and Physiology I - Assignment 1

    • Periosteum: Outer connective tissue layer surrounding the diaphysis of a long bone, containing blood vessels supplying the bone.

    • Hamstrings: Group of muscles (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus) located on the posterior thigh.

    • Shoulder Joint: Formed by the scapula and humerus.

    • Maxilla: Facial bone containing the upper teeth.

    • Tibiofemoral Joint: Formed by the meeting of the femur and tibia.

    • Occipital Bone: Cranial bone containing the foramen magnum and condyles that articulate with C1 (first cervical vertebra).

    • Fontanels: "Soft spots" in a baby's skull.

    • Deltoid Muscle: Covers the shoulder like a shoulder pad.

    • Quadriceps Femoris: Muscle group (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius) responsible for extending the leg at the knee.

    • Acetylcholine: Neurotransmitter released from neurons in response to a nerve impulse, crucial for muscle contraction.

    • Elbow Joint: Associated with the olecranon process.

    • Curare: Causes muscle paralysis by blocking neuromuscular receptors.

    • Diaphysis: Shaft of a long bone.

    • Carpals: Wrist bones, categorized as short bones.

    • Pectoralis Major: Large anterior chest muscle; inserts on the anterior humerus.

    • Abnormal Spinal Curvatures: Scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis.

    • Buccinator Muscle: Muscle that flattens the cheek and moves food.

    • Mandible: Lower jaw bone; crucial for mastication (chewing)

    • Types of Muscle Relaxation: Sarcomere depletion of ATP, calcium reabsorption into the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

    • Intercostal Muscles: Muscles between ribs, aiding in breathing.

    • Abdominal Muscles: Rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique

    • Hallux and Pollex: The great toe (hallux) and thumb (pollex).

    • Ulna: Bone part of the forearm, but not in the lower limb.

    • Thin Filament Components: Myosin binding site, troponin, tropomyosin

    • Flexor Carpi Radialis and Flexor Carpi Ulnaris: Muscles flexing the wrist.

    • Osteoblast, Osteoclast, Osseous Tissue: Terms related to bone formation, absorption, and tissue itself, respectively.

    • Freely Movable Joints: Tibiofemoral, hip, glenohumeral, humeroulnar.

    • Calcium Storage: Sarcoplasmic reticulum in relaxed skeletal muscle.

    • Trapezius Muscle: Involved in posture and movement of the scapula.

    • Sternocleidomastoid: Muscle of anterior neck

    • Humerus Length Measurement: From the acromion to the olecranon process

    • Fascicles: Bundles of muscle fibers bound by connective tissue.

    • Calcaneus: Heel bone.

    • Extending the Thigh at the Hip: The hamstring group are responsible.

    • Greater and Lesser Trochanters: Parts of the femur.

    • Palatine Process: Part of the maxilla, forming the anterior hard palate.

    • Long Bones/Bone Markings: Radius, femur, greater trochanter. (Suture's part of a joint not a bone).

    • Biceps Brachii: Muscle, on the anterior humerus, flexing the forearm.

    • Muscle Groups in the Upper Extremities: Triceps brachii, biceps brachii , pronators.

    • Cartilage Replacement by Bone: Ossification.

    • Gastrocnemius and Soleus (Muscles): "Toe dancer's" muscles.

    • Glenohumeral Joint: Where the scapula and humerus meet.

    • Myoglobin's Role: Oxygen storage in muscle tissue leading to the "red" color.

    • Tendons Attachment: Periosteum.

    • Orbicularis Oris: Muscle controlling the movement of the mouth

    • Recruitment: Increases muscle force by activating more motor units.

    • Tendons: Attach muscle to bone.
