Cardiac Muscle

Involuntary, striated muscle tissue found only in the heart. It's responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.

Secondary Cartilaginous Joint

A type of joint where the articulating surfaces of bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Allows for slight movement.

Short Bones

Bones with a cube-like shape, such as the vertebrae and carpal bones. They provide support and stability.

Superficial Fascia

A thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, helps them move independently, and provides insulation.

Study Notes

General Anatomy Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

  • Cardiac Muscle: One characteristic is incorrect: Supplied by autonomic nervous system, involuntary, non-striated, found in the myocardium of the heart.
  • Epiphyseal Plate of Cartilage: Considered a primary cartilaginous joint, a secondary cartilaginous joint, a synovial joint, or a fibrous joint.
  • Short Bones: Examples include vertebrae, carpal bones, and scapula (also all of the above is a possible answer).
  • Superficial Fascia: Absent in female breasts, abdominal wall, and eye lids.
  • Cartilage: Hyaline cartilage contains few cells and many collagen fibers; it forms the knee menisci, is particularly vascular in relation to joints, and is found in synovial joints and costal cartilage.

Synovial Joint Characteristics

  • Synovial Joint: One feature is true: Hinged variety is exemplified by metacarpophalangeal joints, stability of a joint is related to its mobility, articular ends are covered by synovial membrane, or the hip joint is a saddle variety.
  • Spinal Cord: Dorsal horn contains motor nuclei. Has cervical, thoracic, and lumbar enlargements. The end is called the conus medullaris.

Irregular Bones

  • Irregular Bone Examples: Examples are vertebrae, carpal bones, patella, and sternum.

Planes of the Body

  • Planes of the Body: The plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts is the horizontal plane.

Joints

  • Fibrous Joints: Sutures of the skull are examples of fibrous joints. Also gomphoses, and syndesmoses.
  • Cartilaginous Joints: Symphysis pubis is an example of secondary cartilaginous joints.
  • Types of Joints: A joint of the type of a symphysis pubis demonstrates a secondary cartilaginous joint.

Types of Muscles

  • Strap Muscles: Example of a strap-like muscle is the sartorius muscle. Note that the deltoid muscle is a possible answer as it has a strap-like quality.
  • Multipennate Muscle: Example of a multipennate muscle is the deltoid muscle. Other examples include tibialis anterior and sartorius.
  • Types of Muscles: A smooth muscle is characterized by it being involuntary and spindle-shaped. It is supplied by the autonomic nervous system.

Other Details

  • Long Bone Shaft: The shaft of a long bone is called the diaphysis.

  • Arteries: Arteries possess branches, form anastomoses, have numerous valves, and carry oxygenated blood (pulmonary artery is an exception).

  • Planes of the Body: The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves; the coronal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior parts or front and back parts; the median plane divides the body into right and left halves; and the horizontal plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts or top and bottom.

  • Deep Fascia Contains: Deep fascia contains fat, dense connective tissue, and components. Also contains fibrous membrane.

  • Body Movements: During flexion, the angle is increased. Abduction is movement away from the midline. Circumduction involves a combination of movements. Protraction is forward movement.
