Traumatic Fracture
Extreme force applied to bone that results in a fracture
Spontaneous Fracture
Diseased on weakened bone fractures under normal stress
Complete Fracture
Extends through entire bone
Incomplete Fracture
Extends partially through bone
Hematoma Stage
severed blood vessels in bone hemorphage, resulting in blood clot forming within 6-8 hours
Procallus Stage
hematoma is replaced with young connective tissue by end of the first week, osteoclasts remove damaged tissue
Fibrocartilage Stage
procallus replaced with fibrocartilage, much stronger than procallus and osteolasts begin to secrete new bone
Bony Callus Stage
osteoclast resorb bone, osteoblast secrete new bone (60-90 days)
Osteoporsosis
disease process where bones are gradually weaker because Calcium removal exceeds calcium intake, increase in spontaneous fractures
Articulation
where two or more bones meet, forming a system of levers capable of producing movement
Synthroses
do not permit movement
sutures, gomophosis
Ampiarthroses
small amount of movement
connective tissue holds bone, vertebral disks
Diathroses
sonovial
free movement
finger's, knees, elbow, and shoulders
Bursale
small sacks of sonovial fluid located between ligaments, muscles, tendons and bones
reduce sliding friction
Contractility
capacity to actively change length of muscle fiber
Extensibility
muscle cells function at variety of lengths
Elasticity
muscle fibers can return to natural length
Irritability
responds to stimulus (excitable)
Epipmysium
loose, connective tissue covering the muscle belly
Fasiculi
make up the muscle belly, 1-40 mm in length
Perimysium
connective tissue covering fasicles
Endomysium
covers muscle cells and fibers
Sarcolemma
cell membrane of muscle cells
Myofibrils
highly organized sarcomeres, containing contractile proteins
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
storage site for calcium, modified endoplasmic reticulum
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm of muscle cells
Transverse tubules
invaginations of the sarcolemma, filled with extracellular fluid
conduct muscle action potentials into interior cell
Actin
contains binding sites for myosin, forms helix
Tropomyosin
covers binding sites in Actin until contraction is ready to take place
Troponin
pushes out tropomyosin, binds with calcium
Myosin
binds with Actin, breaks down ATP
"powerstrokes"
Neuromuscular Junction
junction between motor neuron and a skeletal fiber, innervation via synapses
Acetylcholine
neurotransmitter released in neuromuscular junction
Motor Units
motor neuron synapse with several muscle cells
All or None Process
muscle cell will contract completely with stimulus, or not at all (individual muscle cells)
Recruitment
CNS can selectively activate appropriate numbers of motor unit to complete action
Tetany
sustained contraction due to rapid stimulation
Latent Period
time between stimulation and the beginning of the contraction
Contract Period
cross bridges form and cycle to create force
Relaxation Period
gradual decrease in force as Calcium is pumped back into the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Static Contraction
muscle contracts, cells don't shorten
force cannot overcome load
Concentric Contraction
cells shorten, force is greater than load
Eccentric Contraction
cells lengthen in contraction, load is greater than force
