Which contain more bones? Adult or fetal skeleton?
Fetal (275 bones vs 206 bones)
Does the fetal skull have the same bones as the adult skull?
yes
how does the size of the face compare to the cranium in a fetal skull?
face is much smaller/shorter than crainum
how does the face and cranium of a fetal skull compare to the face and cranium of an adult?
adults are much more square than fetals. fetals are more retangular.
indentations between that bones of the fetal skull
fontanels
how are bones formed that make up the cranium?
they have ossification centers.
a point of contact between two or more bones
articulation
what are the three functional classification of joints and their amount of movement?
synarthroses (immovable),
amphiarthroses (partially movable),
diarthroses (freely movable)
what is a fibrous joint?
no synovial cavity and bones are joined by fibrous connective tissue
does a fibrous joint have a joint cavity?
no
how much movement does the fibrous joints permit?
partially to none
where on the body would you find a sutural joint?
skull
cone-shaped peg that fits into a socket. roots of teeth held in by periodontal ligaments
gomphosis
what is the movement of a gomphosis?
synarthrosis
a fibrous joint in which there is more fibrous connective tissue and bones are not held together as tightly as a suture
syndesmosis
what is the movement of a syndesmosis?
amphiarthrosis
what is a catilaginous joint?
no synovial cavity and had hones that are joined by catilage
when that bones are connected by a broad, flatdisc of fibrocaritlage
symphyses
what are examples of a symphyses
intervertebral joints
the bony portions that are united by hyaline cartilage.
synchondroses
what is an example of a temporary synchondroses?
epiphyseal plates
what is an example of a permanent synchondroses?
costal cartilage of the first rib with the sternum
synovial joint: aritculating surfaces are flat or slightly curved, allowing sliding movements in one or two planes
gliding joint
synovial joint: the rounded process of one bone fits into the concave surface of another to allow movement in one plane
hinge
synovial joint: the rounded or conical surface of one bone articulates with a shallow depression or foramin in another bvone
pivot
synovial joint: the oval condyle of one bone fits into an elliposoidal depression in another bone
condyloid joint
synovial joint: articulating survaces are saddle-shapped
saddle joint
synovial joint: the ball-shapped head of one bone fits into a cuplike depression of another
ball and socket joint
what is an example of a gliding joint? hinge joint? pivot joint? condyloid joint? saddle joint? and ball and socket joint?
gliding: intercarpal and intertarpal joints
hinge: elbow and interphalageal joints
pivot: joint between atlas and axis
condyloid: radiocarpals joints
saddle: between the thumb and trapezium
ball and socket: shoulder and hip joints
what are the two joints that are uniaxial? and what is the movement allowed?
hinge (flexion and extension)
pivot
what are the two joints that are biaxial?
condyloid and saddle
what joint is multiaxial?
ball and socket
the ligament reinforcing a joint are damaged by excessive stretching or are torn away from the bony attachment
sprian
occurs when bones are forced out of their normal position in the joint cavity
dislocation
the skeletal muscle is composed of relatively large, long cylindrical cells
fibers
the nuclei of mucles cells are pushed peripherally by the longitudinally arranged____ which nearly fill the sarcoplasm
myofibrils
myofibrils are made up of even smaller threadlike structures called _____.
myofilaments
protein found in the thin myofilament
actin
protein found in the thick myofilament
myosin
the actual contractile untis of muscle that ecxtend from the middle of one I band to the middle of the next alond the length of the myofibrils
sacromeres
regions where the SR terminal cisternae abut a T tubule on each side are called ____.
triads
what is contained in the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
transverse tubules inside the terminal cisternae
surrounds the whole muscle
epimysium
separates muscle into bundles of muscle fibers called ____>
perimusium; fascicles
covers individual fibers
endomysium
when connective tissue fomr a broad, flat layer, the tendon is called a _____
aponeurosis
what is the origin and insertion of a muscle?
origin: fixed/immovable attachment
insertion: moveable attachment
a neuron and all the muscle cells it stimulates make up the functional structure
motor unit
the junction between a nerve fiber and a muscle cell
neuromuscular junction
muscles that are primarily responsible for producing a particular movement
prime movers
muscles that oppoe or reverse a movement
antagonists
aid the action of prime movers by reducing undesirable or unnecessary movement
synergists
specialized synergists the immobilize the origin of a prime mover so that all the tension is exerted at the intersection
fixators
the progressive activation of a muscle by successive recruitment of contractile units to accomplish increasing gradations of contractile strength.
mulitple motor unit summation
when a muscle first contracts, the force it is able to produce is less than the force it is able to produce in subsequent contractions within a relatively narrow time span
treppe
an extreme form of wave summation that resluts in a steady, sustained contraction of a muscle
tetanus
the condition in which muscle length does not change regardless of the anoumt of force generated by the muscle
isometric contraction
contration when the muscle length changes, but the force produced stays the same
isotonic contraction
