Study Notes

Anatomy and Physiology of Bones, Muscles, and Joints

Spongy bone lacks osteons and is primarily found in the epiphyses of long bones, skull, ribs, and vertebrae, containing trabeculae and red bone marrow.
Long bones consist of diaphysis (composed of compact bone), epiphyses (primarily spongy bone), epiphyseal plate for bone growth, and medullary cavity with red or yellow marrow.
Components of long bones include the epiphyseal line, medullary cavity, periosteum, endosteum, and articular cartilage for joint surfaces.
Skeletal muscles are composed of individual cells called fibers, bundled by endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium, with deep fascia, tendons, and aponeurosis anchoring them to bone or fascia.
A skeletal muscle fiber has a sarcolemma, sarcoplasm with myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticulum, and myofilaments consisting of actin, myosin, troponin, and tropomyosin.
The arrangement of thick and thin myofilaments gives muscle cells their characteristic striation pattern, forming sarcomeres.
Articulations and joints are functionally classified as synarthrotic (immovable), amphiarthrotic (slightly movable), or diarthrotic (freely movable) synovial joints.
Structurally, joints are classified as fibrous (no joint cavity, bound by fibrous CT), cartilaginous (no joint cavity, connected by cartilage), or synovial (with a joint cavity held by an articular capsule and ligaments).
Synovial joints have articular cartilage, a fibrous capsule, joint cavity with synovial fluid, and reinforcing ligaments for additional joint strength.
Types of synovial joints include gliding (plane) joints for short gliding movements, hinge joints for flexion/extension, and pivot joints for rotation.
Components of spongy bone include trabeculae and red bone marrow, primarily found in epiphyses of long bones and certain bones of the skull, ribs, and vertebrae.
Long bones consist of diaphysis, epiphyses, epiphyseal plate, medullary cavity, periosteum, endosteum, and articular cartilage, providing structure and support for the body.
