Study Notes

Musculoskeletal System Overview

  • Provides shape, structure, and support to the body.
  • Facilitates movement and self-support, offering protection to internal organs while generating heat.

Muscles and Movement

  • Muscles consist of tissues that contract and relax to facilitate body movement.

Bones and Skeleton

  • Bones are rigid connective tissues forming the skeleton, which is the human body’s structural framework.

Joints and Flexibility

  • Joints are vital connections where two bones meet, enabling movement and flexibility.

Ligaments and Joint Support

  • Ligaments are strong bands connecting bones or cartilage, playing a crucial role in supporting joints and facilitating movement.

Components of the Musculoskeletal System

  • Key parts include muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments.

Types of Muscles

  • Three muscle types: Skeletal (voluntary), Smooth (involuntary), and Cardiac (heart muscle).

Types of Bones

  • Four classifications of bones: long, short, flat, and irregular.

Functions of the Musculoskeletal System

  • Provides body shape and form.
  • Maintains posture, permits movement, and protects internal organs.
  • Stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
  • Produces heat and some blood cells.

Aging Effects on Musculoskeletal System

  • Muscle mass declines with age.
  • Bone calcium content decreases, increasing brittleness and the risk of fractures.
  • Joints may become stiffer rather than more flexible.
  • Height gradually decreases as people age.

Common Musculoskeletal Conditions

  • Amputation: Surgical removal of all or part of a limb.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation of joints causing pain and stiffness.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of bursae, causing joint discomfort.
  • Fibromyalgia: Disorder leading to pain, fatigue, and cognitive issues.
  • Fracture: Any bone break.
  • Muscular Dystrophy (MD): A hereditary disease causing muscle weakness.
  • Osteoarthritis: Deterioration of cartilage leading to pain and swelling.
  • Osteopenia: Decreased bone density without osteoporosis diagnosis.
  • Osteoporosis: Significant bone density loss, increasing fracture risk.
  • Phantom Limb Pain: Sensation of pain in an amputated limb.
  • Phantom Sensation: Sensations such as warmth or itching in an amputated limb.

Surgical Interventions

  • Total Hip Replacement: Replaces the hip joint’s head and socket with artificial components.
  • Total Knee Replacement: Surgically replaces a damaged knee joint.
  • Traction: Method using weights and pulleys to align fractured bones.

Care Guidelines

  • For cast care: Pad edges, keep dry, and maintain cleanliness.
  • Post-total hip replacement: Follow weight-bearing restrictions, avoid crossing legs, assist dressing, and apply anti-embolic stockings as needed.

Weight-Bearing Status

  • Partial Weight Bearing (PWB): Some weight can be supported on one or both legs.
  • Non-Weight Bearing (NWB): No weight can be placed on legs.
  • Full Weight-Bearing (FWB): Ability to bear full body weight on both legs without restrictions.

Additional Musculoskeletal Structures

  • Bursae: Fluid-filled sacs reducing friction near joints.
  • Cartilage: Protective covering on bone ends and intervertebral discs.
  • Sling: Supports an injured upper extremity, relieving weight.

Movement Terminology

  • Flexion: Bending joint or body part.
  • Atrophy: Weakening or wasting away of muscles.
  • Abduction: Movement away from the body's midline.
  • Adduction: Movement toward the body's midline.
