Study Notes
Bone Classification and Structure
- Long Bones: Most limb bones, including phalanges, categorized as long bones.
- Sesamoid Bones: Bones that develop within tendons, providing mechanical advantages.
- Axial Bones: An example includes the sternum which is part of the central axis of the skeleton.
- Osteons: The structural unit of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of mineralized matrix.
- Lacunae and Canaliculi: Lacunae are small cavities within bone tissue connected by canaliculi for nutrient and waste exchange.
Bone Composition and Development
- Collagen in Bone: Found within lamellae, providing structural integrity and flexibility.
- Periosteum: The outer membrane covering long bones, essential for growth and repair.
- Osteoblasts: Bone cells responsible for producing the bony matrix during bone development.
- Epiphyseal Plate: Not found in long bones of adults around thirty years old, indicating cessation of growth.
Bone Types and Functions
- Spongy Bone: Composed of trabeculae, it provides support and flexibility in bone structure.
- Osteoid Seam: Newly formed organic matrix in bones that hasn't yet mineralized.
Vertebral Anatomy
- Atlas: A unique vertebra that lacks a body, supporting the skull.
- False Ribs: There are five pairs which do not directly connect to the sternum.
- Cervical Vertebrae: Identified by the presence of foramina in their transverse processes.
Joint Classification
- Types of Joint Classification: Classified by structure (e.g., fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial) and function (e.g., synarthrosis, diarthrosis).
- Diarthrosis: A freely movable joint, such as the hip joint, which exemplifies diarthrodial joints.
- Gomphosis: A fibrous joint where teeth are anchored by ligaments.
Synovial Joint Characteristics
- Diarthroses: Another term for synovial joints which allow significant movement.
- Synovial Joint Features: Contains a fibrous capsule made of connective tissue that encloses the joint.
- Most Complex Joint: The knee joint is recognized for its complexity and susceptibility to injury.
Muscle Contraction and Physiology
- Endomysium: Connective tissue sheath covering individual muscle fibers.
- Aponeurosis: A sheet-like fibrous tissue that connects muscles to the parts they move.
- Tropomyosin: A protein that blocks myosin binding sites in resting muscle cells.
Calcium's Role in Muscle Contraction
- Calcium Ions: Bind to tropomyosin in the sarcoplasm, initiating muscle contraction.
- ATP Binding: Necessary for myosin heads to detach from thin filaments, allowing the muscle to relax.
- Active Transport: Mechanism used to reintroduce calcium ions into the terminal cisternae post-contraction.
Muscle Contraction Types
- Twitch: Defined as a single contraction responding to a single stimulus threshold.
- Concentric Contraction: Occurs when muscle length remains unchanged, characterized by exertion of force.
Energy Sources in Muscle Activity
- Recruitment of Motor Units: Method for increasing contraction strength by activating more motor neurons.
- Fatty Acids: Become the primary fuel source after approximately thirty minutes of aerobic exercise.
Smooth Muscle Characteristics
- Gap Junctions: Allow smooth muscle cells to contract as a unit, ensuring synchronized movements.
