Study Notes
Movement, Joints, and Bones
- Opposition - Thumb movement allowing grasping and tool use.
- Hinge joint - Flexion and extension movement in one plane (e.g., elbow, knee).
- Gout - Uric acid crystal accumulation in joints, causing pain and inflammation.
- Articulation - Union of two or more bones, forming a joint.
- Synovial fluid - Lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage in joints.
- Suture - Joint where bones are united by fibrous tissue (e.g., skull).
- Bursa - Closed synovial membrane sacs, reducing friction between bones and tendons.
- Rheumatoid arthritis - Autoimmune disease causing severe joint inflammation, potentially destroying joints.
- Abduction - Moving a limb away from the midline of the body.
- Ball-and-socket joint - Allows movement in all planes and directions (e.g., shoulder, hip).
- Flexion - Bending a limb at a joint.
- Rotation - Turning a body part around its axis (e.g., head, trunk).
- Extension - Straightening a limb at a joint.
- Synarthroses - Joints with no movement, allowing for strong union (e.g., skull sutures).
- Flexor - Muscle that bends a limb at a joint.
- Extensor - Muscle that straightens a limb at a joint.
- Fibromyositis - Inflammation of muscle and tendon, causing pain and stiffness.
- Adductor - Muscle that moves a limb toward the midline.
- Muscular dystrophy - Inherited disorder with muscle degeneration over time.
- Autonomic nervous system - Controls smooth and cardiac muscle function.
- Origin - More fixed attachment of a muscle.
- Myasthenia gravis - Disease with destruction of acetylcholine receptors, causing muscle weakness and fatigue.
- Diaphragm - Primary muscle for breathing.
- Tone - Steady, partial contraction maintained in muscles, providing stability.
- Agonists - Prime mover muscles, causing main movement.
- Tendons - Connective tissue attaching muscles to bones.
- Ligaments - Connective tissue attaching bones to bones.
- Fascia - Connective tissue covering and protecting muscles.
- Muscles - Make up approximately 40% of the body's mass.
