    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.
