Study Notes

Introduction to Human Anatomy

  • Deep fascia is tough connective tissue that covers, protects, and unifies structures in the body.

Muscles

  • Skeletal Muscles: Responsible for movement and energy storage.
  • Smooth Muscles: Found in hollow tubes like the intestines and blood vessels, facilitating involuntary movements.
  • Cardiac Muscle: Known as myocardium, present only in the heart.

Bone Classification

  • Bones are classified based on:
    • Location: Axial (skull, vertebrae, ribs) and Appendicular (limbs and girdles).
    • Shape: Long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones.

Joints Between Bones

  • Fibrous Joints: No movement; bones are joined by fibrous tissue (e.g., skull sutures).
  • Cartilaginous Joints: Separated by fibrocartilage; consist of:
    • Primary (no movement)
    • Secondary (limited movement, e.g., intervertebral joints).
  • Synovial Joints: Feature a cavity allowing free range of movement (e.g., shoulder and knee joints).

Structure of Synovial Joints

  • Composed of:
    • Synovial Cavity: Space between bones.
    • Synovial Fluid: Lubricates joints, reducing friction.
    • Synovial Membrane: Lines the cavity, producing synovial fluid.
    • Fibrous Capsule and Ligaments: Provide stability and support.

Types of Synovial Joints

  • There are six types, including:
    • Condyloid (Ellipsoidal) Joints: An oval bony projection fits into an oval depression of another bone; allows movement in multiple axes (e.g., shoulder, hip joints).

Arthritis

  • Inflammation of joints leading to swelling and pain.
  • Types of Arthritis:
    • Gouty Arthritis: Caused by deposition of sodium urate crystals due to high uric acid levels in blood, leading to acute pain and swelling, commonly in feet and hands; also known as "Disease of Kings".
