flat: skull, sternum, scapula, ribs
irregular: vertebrae, mandible, pelvis

long: humerus, ulna, femur


short: carpals, tarsals


flat: skull, sternum, scapula, ribs


irregular: vertebrae, mandible, pelvis

identify structures of compact bone: osteon, central haversian canal, lacunae, canaliculi, osteocytes, lamellae


 

identify structures of compact bone: osteon, central haversian canal, lacunae, canaliculi, osteocytes, lamellae


osteon: the basic structural unit of compact bone; consists of central canal, lamellae (rings), lacunae, osteocytes, and canaliculi


central haversian canal: in the middle of compact bone; contains blood vessels, connective tissue, nerve fibers, and lymphatic vessels


lacunae: small spaces between lamellae; contain osteocytes


canaliculi: tiny canals radiating in all directions from lacunae; allow for communication between osteocytes and the passing of materials that make up the matrix


osteocytes: bone cells


lamellae: concentric rings of bone matrix that radiate out from central canal

differentiate types of vertebrae

cervical: 7


thoracic: 12


lumbar: 5


sacrum

cervical: 7


thoracic: 12


lumbar: 5


sacrum

differentiate markings on vertebrae: body, foramina, spinous process, lamina, transverse processes

identify and differentiate types of bone cells: osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes

osteoblasts: make bone


osteoclasts: destroy bone


osteocytes: bone cells

osteoblasts: make bone


osteoclasts: destroy bone


osteocytes: bone cells

know mechanism of movement for C1 and C2

C1: atlas; supports the skull where the head attaches to the neck


C2: axis; allows the head to rotate from its support atop the C1 vertebra where the skull attaches to the neck

know function of cartilage in between each vertebrae

cushion and soften the forces created by walking and jumping, which might otherwise fracture the vertebrae or jar the brain

locate the hyoid bone

identify regions of a long bone: epiphysis, diaphysis, compact and cancellous bone tissue, epiphyseal plate

differentiate true, false, and floating ribs

true: 1-7


false: 8-10


floating: 11,12

true: 1-7


false: 8-10


floating: 11,12

identify parts of the sternum: suprasternal or jugular notch, clavicular notch, sternal angle, manubrium, body, and xyphoid process

identify the clinical significance of the sternal angle

marks the location of the second rib.


a doctor can count ribs and know where to listen for specific heart sounds and more.

identify the clinical significance of the xyphoid process

used as a landmark during CPR to know where to do chest compressions

identify skull sutures: coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, squamous

identify bones of a disarticulated skeleton: carpals, tarsals, metacarpals, metatarsals, calcaneus, talus...

identify major bones on an articulated skeleton

*refer to handout

identify major bones of the cranium: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, zygomatic, maxilla, mandible

identify major foramen and features of the skull and match to function: foramen ovale, mental foramen, external auditory meatus, occipital condyles, foramen magnum, styloid process, mastoid process

identify pelvic structures: illium, ischium, pubis, symphysis pubis, pelvic/subpubic angle, illiac crest, acetabulum, obturator foramen, ischial tuberosity

differentiate male and female pelvis

-Because the female pelvis is adapted for childbirth, it is wider than the male pelvis


-The female sacrum is wider, shorter, and less curved

-Because the female pelvis is adapted for childbirth, it is wider than the male pelvis


-The female sacrum is wider, shorter, and less curved

identify features of the femur: head, neck, greater trochanter, lateral/medial epicondyle, lesser trochanter

identify features of the tibia: medial/lateral condyle, medial malleolus

identify features of the fibula: head, lateral malleolus

identify scapula structures: acromion process, coracoid process, superior angle, inferior angle

identify clavicular structures: acromial end, conoid tubercle, sternal end

identify features of the humerus: head, greater/lesser tubercle, medial/lateral epicondyle

identify features of the radius: head, neck, radial tuberosity, styloid process

identify features of the ulna: head, olecranon process, styloid process, ulnar notch

classify joints according to type: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial

classify joints according to movement: plane, hinge, pivot, ellipsoid, saddle, ball & socket

define various actions occurring at joints

monoaxial: occurring around 1 axis


biaxial: occurring around 2 axes at right angles to each other


multiaxial: occurring around several axes

identify structures of a synovial joint

contains synovial fluid

treppe

the gradual increase in muscular contraction following rapidly repeated stimulation.

temporal (wave) summation

sensory summation that involves the addition of single stimuli over a short period of time

incomplete tetany

summations occur rapidly, but muscle still relaxes slightly between contractions. Muscle is stimulated again and again before it fully relaxes.

complete tetany

Stimuli arrive so rapidly there is NO relaxation that occurs.

muscle fatigue

Decreased ability to do work.


POSSIBLE CAUSES:


psychologic fatigue: ​CNS dysfunction. most common.


muscular fatigue: depletion of ATP in muscles. second most common.


synaptic fatigue: depletion of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular synapse. least common.

length-tension relationship

Tension is the force applied to an object to be lifted when a muscle contracts.


The initial length of a muscle has a strong influence on the amount of active tension it produces.


As the length of the muscle increases, its active tension also increases, to a point.

explain how frequency of stimulation, voltage, and muscle stretch affect muscle tension

all or none response: a muscle fiber or motor unit contracts with a consistent force in response to each action potential


recruitment/multiple motor unit summation: for a whole muscle, a stimulus of increasing magnitude results in graded contractions of increased force as more motor units are recruited

explain the myofilament theory of muscle contraction

actin and myosin myofilaments do not change in length during contraction.


actin and myosin myofilaments slide past one another in a way that causes sarcomeres to shorten (cross-bridging).


the I band and H zones become narrower during contraction, and the A band remains constant in length.

explain the role of ATP in contraction of muscles

the binding of ATP to the cross bridge results in the cross bridge disconnecting from actin.

list, in sequence, the steps of impulse conduction across a neuromuscular synapse

1. influx of calcium


2. binding of myosin to actin


3. the power stroke of the cross bridge that causes the sliding of the thin filaments


4. the binding of ATP to the cross bridge results in the cross bridge disconnecting from actin


5. the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and Pi leads to the re-energizing and repositioning of the cross bridge


6. the transport of calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum

muscle of respiration

origin: scapula


insertion: radius
