Study Notes

Introduction to the Musculoskeletal System

  • The human body is composed of progressively more complex organizational levels: from chemical, cellular, tissue, organs, organ systems to the organism.
  • Each level represents the association of units of the lower level.
  • Tissues are groups of similar cells performing specialized functions.
  • The human body has four main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Objectives

  • Overview of anatomical principles
  • Spatial orientation (anatomical planes and directional terms)
  • Anatomical terminology
  • Bone descriptions (osteology)

Levels of Organization

  • Chemical level: Atoms combine to form molecules.
  • Cellular level: Molecules combine to form cells.
  • Tissue level: Similar cells combine to form tissues.
  • Organ level: Different tissues combine to form an organ.
  • Organ system level: Multiple organs working together compose an organ system.
  • Organism level: Different systems work interdependently to form a whole organism.

Tissue Types

  • Epithelial tissue: Covers surfaces, lines cavities.
  • Connective tissue: Supports and connects body parts.
  • Muscle tissue: Enables movement.
  • Nervous tissue: Controls body functions.

Connective Tissues

  • Loose connective tissue: found underneath the skin, provides support and structure
  • Adipose tissue: stores fat providing insulation and protection
  • Blood: transport nutrients and gases
  • Cartilage: firm but flexible support for joints
  • Bone: rigid support and protection

Muscle Tissues

  • Skeletal muscle: voluntary movement
  • Cardiac muscle: involuntary movement of the heart
  • Smooth muscle: involuntary movement of internal organs (e.g., stomach, intestines, bladder)

Nervous Tissues

  • Neurons: specialized cells transmitting electrical signals.

Anatomical Position and Terminology

  • Anatomical reference position: Body erect, feet forward, palms forward.
  • Directional terms (superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, etc.) are used to describe location and direction in relation to the standard anatomical position.
  • Planes of the body (sagittal, coronal, transverse) are used to slice the body into sections for study.

Skeleton

  • Limb bones: bones of the limbs.
  • Joints: points where bones connect.

Bones: Structure and Function

  • Support: provides framework for body.
  • Protection: protects vital organs.
  • Movement: works with muscles to produce movement.
  • Hematopoiesis (blood cell formation): bone marrow produces red and white blood cells.
  • Mineral and energy storage: stores calcium and other minerals.

Different Types of Bones

  • Long bones (e.g., humerus, femur) allow to create leverage and movement.
  • Short bones (e.g., carpals, tarsals) provide stability.
  • Flat bones (e.g., skull, ribs) provide large surface area for muscle attachment and protection of internal organs
  • Irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae, facial bones) have complex shapes often with specialized functions.

Osteology of the Upper Limb (Hand)

  • Carpals (wrist bones): scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate.
  • Metacarpals: bones of the palm of the hand

  • Distal row: trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate

Radiocarpal Joint

  • The wrist joint connecting the radius to the carpal bones

The Metacarpals

  • The intermediate bones that connect the carpal bones to the phalanges of the hand

The Phalanges

  • The bones of the fingers excluding the thumb

Osteology of the Forearm

  • The forearm, from the elbow to the wrist, is made of two long bones: radius and ulna

The Radius and Ulna

  • The radius is located laterally of the forearm and the ulna is located medially in the forearm
  • The radius is involved in the rotation and movement about the ulna
  • The ulna is firmly secured to the radius using ligaments and muscles

Bones of the Upper Limb (Anterior view)

  • Bones: clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges

Radius

  • Parts of the bone include: head, neck, radial tuberosity, styloid process.
  • Function: movement, support

Ulna

  • Parts of the bone include: olecranon process, coronoid process, ulnar notch, styloid process.
  • Function: movement, support

Proximal End (of Radius and Ulna)

  • Contains projections and notches for articulation with the humerus.

The Shaft of the Radius and Ulna

  • The main body of the bone, typically cylindrical or prismatic in shape.

The Distal End (of Radius and Ulna)

  • Features include the ulnar notch of the radius.
  • Articulates with the carpal bones.

Proximal Region

  • The radial head, cylinder about 7-8mm diameter.
  • Made up of two articular surfaces and a narrowed part called the neck.

The Radial Fovea (Radial Cup)

  • Excavation on the radial head, essential for articulation with the capitulum of the humerus.

The Shaft of the Radius

  • The main part of the bone composed of three faces and three borders.

Borders of the Radius and Ulna

  • Anterior, Lateral and Posterior borders

Distal Region (of Radius and Ulna)

  • Features including the external face, medial face, radial styloid and ulnar styloid processes.

Other Structures

  • Triangular fibrocartilage complex: complex of ligaments securing the radius to ulna
  • extensor retinaculum, abductor digiti minimi, tendons of extensor digitorum: structures holding the muscles around the wrist area.
