Study Notes
Muscle Structure and Classification
- Muscles have various structural forms: rhomboid, quadrilateral, strap, fusiform, and triangular.
- Muscle arrangements include unipennate, bipennate, and multipennate, aiding numerous contraction types.
- Contraction shortens muscle fibers by one-third to one-half of their resting length, with accompanying swelling.
- Muscles can paradoxically contract to control movements (e.g., biceps brachii vs. triceps brachii).
Nerve Supply of Skeletal Muscle
- Skeletal muscle nerves are mixed, with approximately 60% motor and 40% sensory fibers.
- Nerve entry point for muscles typically occurs at the midpoint of the muscle's deep surface.
Naming of Skeletal Muscles
- Muscle names derive from shape, size, number of heads or bellies, position, depth, attachments, and actions.
Muscle Tone
- Assessment of muscle tone is crucial in clinical evaluations to understand individual muscle functionality.
Joint Types and Movements
- Joints feature three primary types: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.
- Fibrous joints permit no movement (e.g., coronal suture).
- Cartilaginous joints allow limited movement (e.g., joints between lumbar vertebrae).
- Synovial joints enable significant movement; their surfaces are coated with hyaline cartilage and contain synovial fluid.
Synovial Joint Characteristics
- Designed for mobility, synovial joints feature a synovial membrane and are encapsulated by a fibrous layer.
- Types of synovial joints include:
- Ellipsoid Joints: Allow flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction (e.g., wrist joint).
- Hinge Joints: Facilitate flexion and extension (e.g., elbow, knee).
- Pivot Joints: Permit rotation (e.g., atlantoaxial joint).
- Condyloid Joints: Enable various movements, including some rotation (e.g., knuckle joints).
Ligament Function and Injury
- Fibrous ligaments prevent excessive joint movement but can stretch with prolonged stress.
- Knowledge of joint structures aids in understanding joint injuries and their clinical management through immobilization or surgical repair.
Examination and Assessment of Joints
- Clinicians assess joint movement range, identifying dislocations when bones misalign.
- Certain joints are more susceptible to dislocation due to inadequate ligament support or poor anatomical fit (e.g., shoulder, hip).
Vulnerability to Injury
- Weightbearing joints with cartilaginous discs (e.g., knee) risk injury during rapid movements.
- Damage to ligaments often leads to sprains requiring immobilization or surgical intervention if severe.
Blood Supply and Vascular Structure
- Blood vessels distributed throughout the body include arteries, veins, and capillaries, each with distinct functions related to circulation and nutrient delivery.
