Name two types of cartilaginous joints & give examples

The two types - synchondrosis and symphyses.




Synchondrosis are held together by a bar of hyaline cartilage (epiphyseal plate) & are synarthrotic. Also 1st rib and manubrium




symphyses are covered with articular hyaline , which in turn is fused with a pad of fibrocartilage- compressible & therefore symphyses are amphiarthrotic joints such as the intvertebral joints and pubic symphyses

Tell me about synovial joints & name the six types

Articulating bones are separated by a fluid-containing joint cavity. There are six types: Plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle and ball and socket.

Tell about the Plane joint and give an example

articular surfaces are flat. Examples are inter carpal, inter tarsal joints and vertebral articular joints.




only example of non axial joints

Tell about the hinge joint and give an example

cylindrical projection of one bone fits into a trough shaped surface on another such as olecranon and humerus and interphalangeal joints.




flexion and extension only

Tell about the Pivot joint and give an example

Rounded end of one bone protrudes into sleeve or ring composed of bone. Only uniaxial rotation




Examples are atlas and dens and proximal radioulnar joint

Tell about the condyloid joints and give an example

in condyloid joints the oval articular surface of one bone fits into the complementary depression in another. BOTH ARTICULATING SURFACES ARE OVAL. This permits all angular movements.




The radoiocarpal and metacarpophalangeal joints are typical condyloid joints.

Tell about the saddle joints and give an example

allow greater freedom of movement than condyloid. caropmetacarpal joint of thumb is good example.

Tell about the Ball and socket and give an example

multi axial examples include knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, and TMJ

Sprain

ligament reinforcing joint are stretched or torn

Tetanus

smooth sustained muscle contraction resulting fromhigh-frequency stimulation.

Spasm

sudden, involuntary twitch in smooth or skeletal muscle rangin in severity. A cramp is a prolonged spasm; usually occurs at night or after exercise.

dislocation

occurswhere bones are forced out of alignment. It is usually accompanied by sprains,inflammation and joint immobilization. subluxation is partial dislocation. repeat dislocations are common because initial dislocation stretches joint capsule.

Symptoms of arthritis

all arthritis causes pain, stiffness and swelling ofjoint.

Osteoarthritis

generally age related- excess cartilage destroyingenzymes cause softened, roughened pitted and eroded articular cartilages.

Rheumatoid arthritis

chronic inflammatory disorder with an insidiousonset. It is an autoimmune disease.

Gouty arthritis

too much uric acid creates crystals which cause aninflammatory response.

Muscles perform four functions:

movement, maintain posture, stabilize joints andgenerate heat

macroscopicand microscopic anatomy of a muscle to its physiology.

Eachmuscle fiber is surrounded by a endomysium. Within eachskeletal muscle, the endomysium-wrapped muscle fibers are grouped intofascicles. Surrounding each fascicle is a perimysium. Fasicles are grouped toform a whole muscle which is surrounded by a Epimysium. These overcoats provide entry and exit routs for bloodvessels & nerve fibers.

What are the dark bands in myofibrils?

A bands are the dark bands. They contain both thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments and the H zone.

What are the light bands in the myofibrils?

The light bands in the myofibrils are the I bands. These contain only the thin (actin) filaments and the Z disc.

What is the Z disc composed of and what does it do?

The Z disc anchors the thin filaments and is made up of alpha actinin

ATP can be generated in three ways:

ATP can be generated in three ways: Directphosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate, anaboliclly by glycolysis andlactic acid formation, and aerobic respiration.

There are three types of muscle fibers

slow oxidative, fast oxidative and fast glycolytic.

Slow oxidative fibers

contract slowly, depends on O2 delivery, fatigue resistant and high endurance, is thin, has little power (a thin cell can has less myofibrils), has mitochondria, rich capillary supply and is red (myoglobin), has low glycogen stores.



endurance sports

Fast oxidative fibers

In-between fiber. React fast, primary path is aerobic oxidation, high myoglobin content, some glycogen stores, has many capillaries




is good for in-between activities like walking to sprinting

Fast glycolytic fibers

uses anaerobic glycolysis, is large, does not have myoglobin, are white in color, has high glycogen stores, fatigues fast, very few capillaries and very few mitochondria




good for short term powerful movements like hitting a baseball.

Discussthe factors that contribute to muscle fatigue

muscle fatigue is the physiological inability for themuscle to contract even though the muscle still may be receiving stimuli. Totallack of ATP results in contractures. Another imbalance is K+ accumulating inthe fluids of the T tubules; this disturbs the membrane potential and haltscalcium from being released from the SR. Finally prolonged exercise damages SR,interfering with calcium regulation and exercise and therefore muscleactivation.

Muscular dystrophy

MD refers to a group of inheritedmuscle destroying diseases that appear during childhood. The musclefibers atrophy. Most common - Duchenne muscular dystrophy- inherited as a sex linked recessive disease. It is expressed in males. The muscle lack dystrophin, a protein that linksthe cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. This helps stabilize thesarcolemma. The sarcolemma tears during contraction and allows excess Ca -this damages contractile fibers. regeneration is lost. and damaged cells undergo apoptosis.

Fibromyositis or fibromyalgia

Group of conditions involving chronic inflammation of a muscle, its connective tissue coverings, tendons and capsules of joints

naming muscles- how and examples

Naming muscles – location (temporalis); size (gluteusmaximus); direction of muscle fibers (rectus femoris= strait on femur); numberof origins (triceps); location of attachements (sternocleidomastoid); action(extensor carpi radialis longus)
