Articulations

bones & cartilage joined together


factors determine movement:


-structure of joint (bone)


-ligaments-movement can be restricted


-muscle tension

Joint Classification (Movement)

1. synarthroses - no movement


2. amphiarthroses - slight amount of movement


3. diarthroses- lots of movement

Joint Classification (Structure)

1. fibrous- held together by ligaments


2. Cartilaginous- cartilage


3. synovial- joint cavity (more complex)

Fibrous

1. sutures- joint on skull (saw tooth where they join)


-soft spot on infants- fontanel


-full fused as adult- synostosis


2. Syndesmosis- ligaments holding bones together

Cartilagenous

1. Synchondroses- hyaline cartliage


-between epiphysis & diaphysis


-coastal cartilage


2. Symphyses- fibrocartilage


-vertebral disc

Synovial Joints

-in pairs


1. Flexion , extension, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion


2. adduction, abduction, circumduction, rotation, elevation, depression, sypination, pronation

flexion
decrease the angle between two parts (bent arm)
extension
increase the angle between two parts (straight arm)
dorsiflexion

feet, flexed foot

plantar flexion
feet, pointed foot
adduction
moving toward midline
abduction
moving away from midline
circumduction
forming a cone/circle

rotation
movements around an axis
elevation
raised

depression
lower
sypination
outward rotation
pronation
inward rotation
Synovial Joints Characteristics

1. Articular cartilage- hyaline


2. Joint Capsule (2 parts)


-fibrous capsule- dense irregular connective tissue


-synovial membrane - secrete synovial fluid


3. some have fibrocartilage in the middle joints


4. bursa- fluid filled sacs- between bone & ligaments/bone & tendons/bone & skin


-bursitis- inflammation due to injury or some sort


5. Tendon Sheath- wrapping around tendons


-tendinitis-tennis elbow, inflammation of tendon sheath

Joints

1. Nonaxial- plane joint, movement can occur in any direction, limited by ligaments


2. Uniaxial- movement in one plane


-flexion & extension


-hinge joint & pivot


3. Biaxial- movement in 2 planes


-flexion & extension


-adduction & abduction


-circumduction


-condyloid & saddle


4. Multiaxial- all movement


-ball & socket

Hinge Joint
movement between knee/elbow/phalanges
Pivot

rotation around an axis


Ex: proximal joint between the radius and ulna

Condyloid
between radius & carpals/metacarpals & phalanges
Saddle
between carpal & metacarpal on thumb
Ball & Socket
shoulder or hip
Arthritis

inflammation of the joints


3 types:


-osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis

Osteorthritis

wear & tear


-articular cartilage will degenrate

Rheumatoid Arthritis

small joints


-inflammation of synovial membrane


-autoimmune disease

Gouty Arthritis

gout, uric acid crystals deposited in the joints


-occurs in big toe first (becomes inflamed and very painful)

Muscle functions

1. Motion- skeletal, smooth


2. Posture


3. Heat - convert energy from ATP to kinetic energy through contractions


-blood supply



Functional Characteristics of Muscles

1. Excitability- muscles are excited to contract, some stimulus helps


2. Contractibility- they contract (long to short)

Types of Muscles

1. skeletal


2. smooth (visceral)


3. Cardiac

Skeletal Muscles

Location- attached to bones


Nervous Stimulation- voluntary, controlled by somatic nervous system


Structure- long, multinucleated, striated

Cardiac Muscle

Location- heart


Nervous Stimulation- involuntary, controlled by autonomic nervous system


Structure- mono or dinucleated, striated, cylinder like

Smooth Muscle

Location- walls of hallow tubes


Nervous Stimulation- involuntary, controlled by autonomic nervous system


Structure- mononucleated, not striated, ends are tapered

Skeletal Muscle Gross Anatomy

1. whole muscle


2. fascicle- groups of muscle cells


3. muscle fiber- contains many nuclei


4. epimysium


5. perimysium


6. endomysium

Epimysium
membrane cover of whole muscle
Perimysium
membrane cover of fascicle
Endomysium
membrane cover of muscle fiber
Sarcolemma
plasma membrane of muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm

Sarcoplasmic Reticular
Endoplasmic REticulat

Muscle Fiber

-myofibrils fill it, 10-100 per cell


-striated (light & dark)


-Dark- A band


Light- I band

Level of complexity

1. whole muscle


2. fascicle


3. muscle fiber


4. myofibrils


5. myofilaments


i. think- myosin


ii. thin- actin, tropomyosin, troponin



Sarcomere

1 Z disc connected to another


-basic unit of organization in skeletal muscle

Think Filament

-made of a protein- myosin (rod like tail, head)


-head is a cross bridge that binds thin filaments, change shape, ATPase activity: ATP converted to ADP, produces phosphate and energy


-many together, arranged so tails bind together & heads at either end.. middle is a bare zone



Thin Filament

-comprised of actin


-consist of 2 strands of actin subunits twisted into a helix with 2 types of regulatory proteins



Regulatory Proteins

1. tropomyosin- spiral around thin filament & block interaction of think & thin filaments in resting muscles


2. Troponin- 3 subunites


-- TNI- bind to actin


-- TNT- bind to tropomysin


-- TNC- bind to calcium


muscle contraction is regulated by calcium

Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

smooth ER


-store calcium


-terminal cisterna.. region of sarcoplasmic reticulum

Transverse tublues
continuous with the sarcolemma
Triad
T-tubule & terminal cisterna (2)
