Study Notes
Muscles
- Muscles can only pull, not push
- Muscles cause movement at the joints they cross
- There are three types of muscle contractions: Isometric, Concentric, Eccentric
- Isometric: No change in muscle length
- Concentric: Muscle shortens
- Eccentric: Muscle lengthens
Joints
- Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body
- Synovial joints allow for a wide range of movement
- Synovial Joints are categorized by their planes of movement
- Uniaxial: One plane of movement (hinge, pivot)
- Biaxial: Two planes of movement (condyloid, saddle)
- Multiaxial: Three planes of movement (ball and socket)
- Stability vs. mobility is a key consideration when discussing joints
- A sprain is an injury to a ligament
- A strain is an injury to a muscle
Bones
- Bone development begins in utero and continues until around 20 years old
- Bones grow from the epiphyseal plates at the end of each bone
- Osteoblasts build bone
- Osteoclasts break down bone
- Mechanical stress increases osteoblast activity, leading to stronger bones
- Aging leads to decreased bone production, increased bone absorption, and increased bone brittleness
Fractures
- There are many types of fractures
- Simple fractures involve only bones
- Compound fractures involve bones piercing the skin
Bone Types
- There are five types of bones: Long, Short, Flat, Sesamoid, Irregular
Articulations
- Articulations are bony surfaces that rub together
The Skull
- The skull is divided into two parts: Neurocranium and Viscerocranium
- Neurocranium holds 8 bones
- Viscerocranium holds 14 bones
- The mandible articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
- Fontanels are soft spots in the skull of infants, which later fuse into sutures
- The human skull is made up of 22 bones
The Spine
- The spine is made up of 24 stacked vertebrae, on top of the sacrum and coccyx
- There are four spine curves: Cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral kyphosis
- Scoliosis is a lateral bending of the spine
- The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae
Vertebrae
- There are three types of vertebrae: Cervical (7), Thoracic (12), Lumbar (5)
Motor Units
- A motor unit consists of one motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates
Aging and Muscles
- Muscle mass is replaced by adipose tissue and fibrous connective tissue with age
Movement Planes
- The frontal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into front and back sections. Movements in this plane are about the sagittal axis.
- Movements in the frontal plane include: Adduction, Abduction
- Movements in the sagittal plane include: Flexion, Extension
- Movements in the transverse plane include: Rotation.
