What are the functions of the skeleton system?
-support
-protection
-movement
-blood cell production
-mineral storage
mature bone cells
osteocytes
new bone cell construction
osteoclasts
bone cell builders
osteoblasts
removal of old bone by osteoclasts
resorption
the deposition of new bone by osteoblast
osefication
spongy bone allows for greater weight distrubution with articular cartiledge at each end
epiphysis
growth plate
epiphysis line
shaft of bone, is made of compact bone and allows for greater give and movement. also the site of red and yellow bone marrow and where RBC's are made
diaphysis
How many bones in the body?
206
What type of bones are: femur, humerus, radius
long bones
What type of bones are: carpals and tarsal, primarily spongy bones
short bones
What type of bones are: ribs, skull, scapula, sternum, made of 2 layers of compact over spongy bone
flat bones
What type of bones are: vertabrae, sacrum, mandible
irregular bones
place where two or more bones are joined together
joint
What are some types of joints?
-immovable
-slightly movable
-freely movable
What is the functional unit of the muscloskeletal system?
Joints
Joints that have no movement like the sutures in the skull
synarthrosis
joints that are semi-movable like the pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints
amphiarthrosis
Joints that are freely movable like the wrist
diarthrosis
this mineral helps bone and teeth strength, blood clotting, and muscle strength
calcium
this mineral helps bone and teeth strength, cell membrane, metabolism, and conversion of food into energy
phosphorus
these hormones work together to help regulate blood calcium levels
calcitonin- released when there is too much calcium in the blood
parathyroid hormone- detects when there is not enough calcium in the blood
this vitamin helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the small intestine
vitamin D
this hormones work together to help with the building and maintenance of bone tissue
growth hormone and insulin
this hormone helps with bone growth, calcium and phosphorus absorption
glucocorticoids
this hormone helps with osteoblastic activity
estrogen
this hormone helps increase bone mass
testosterone
this hormone helps with protein synthesis
thyroxine
What kind of uniaxial joint is the elbow
hinge joint
What type of multiaxial joint is:
shoulder and hip
ball and socket
What type of uniaxial joint is:
radioulnar joint
pivot joint
What type of biaxial joint is:
wrist
condyloid joint
What type of biaxial joint is:
thumb
saddle joint
What type of multiaxial joint is:
fibula with tibia
gliding joint
a fluid filled capsule that allows for greater ease of movement in the joint
synovial joint
joins bones to bones
ligament (connective tissue, give stability to joint and aids in movement)
covers the ends of bone
cartilage (very elastic and supports bone during WB exercises)
connects muscle to bone
tendons (has poor blood supply, if injured, it takes longer to heal)
this involuntary muscle is found only in the heart
Cardiac Muscle
this involuntary muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and the internal organs
smooth muscle
the voluntary muscle attaches two bones at the joint
skeletal muscle
what is the function of the muscle?
protein storage, movement, energy and metabolism
What is the composition of muscle?
75% water
20% protein
5% organic and inorganic compounds
What percent of adult body weight is muscle?
40%
What percent of a child's body weight is muscle?
50%
What effects muscle strength?
nutrition
gender
exercise
age
disease processes
genetics
a decrease in muscle mass that occurs when muscle fibers do not contract as much as they would during normal physical activity
muscle atrophy (wastes away)
stiff joints: involves ligaments
fibrosis
frozen joints; involves ligaments
ankylosis
frozen muscle that can only be fixed with surgery
contracture
range of motion (ROM) patient does by them self
active ROM
ROM nurse helps the patients do
assisted ROM
ROM nurse does all
passive ROM
how far should you move the joint for ROM
until point of resistance
decrease in the blood pressure that occurs as a result of change in position
orthostatic hyoptension
decrease in the ability of the hear and it vessels to maintain function r/t immobility
cardiovascular deconditioning
formation of plaque and blood clots in the venous system
DVT deep vein thrombosis
movement of a blood clot into the lung
pulmonary embolism
occurs when venous pressure is so great it forces some of the serous part of the blood out of the blood vessel and into the interstitial space surrounding the vessel
edema
what can be done to help edema
TED hose, compression stockings (SED),, and elevate legs if not contraindicated
how much does the heart rate increase from cardiovascular deconditioning
up to 30%, heart rate increases by 0.5 beats per day of immobility
this occurs when patient hold their breath when attempting to move up in bed or have a BM
valsalva maneuver
how is respiratory status compromised in the immobilized patient
limited expansion of lungs, decrease ability to move mucus, decreased space in the thoracic cavity, long term: restricted ventilation r/t fixed intercostal joints
a collapsed or airless condition of the lung
atelectasis
breakdown of muscle for protein
catabolism
what are some ways to prevent anorexia
small portions, food the patient likes, supplements, small meals and small snacks through out the day, encourage fluids between meals instead of with meals
what effects does immobility have on elemination
urinary stasis, renal calculi (stones), incontinence, urinary reflux (pyelonephritis), constipation, fecal impaction
what effects does immobility have on the integumentary system
protein stores and fluid shifts, pressure ulcers
what are the psychological effects of immobility
decreased stimulation, altered role, personality changes, with drawl, appathy, aggression, depression, anger, regression, normal part of the process
effects of immobilization on children/infants
delay in motor, social and intellectual development
affects of immobilization on adolescents
posture, habits, regression, aggression, loss of peer connection, loss of identity
affects of immobilization on older adults
