Layers of skin
Epidermis - superficial layer of cells + deeper, germinal layer
Dermis - layer of connective tissue with blood vessels, lymphatics and nerves.
Where is skin fixed?
Soles of feet, palms of hands and several key areas of face.
Control of Skeletal muscles
May be voluntary or reflexive.
Controlled by somatic nervous system.
How is skeletal muscle attached to bone?
Tendons, deep fascia or intermuscular septa. Most muscles are attached to bones at their ends. One end is called origin, the other insertion. Insertion points are distal or origin points.
Control of involuntary smooth muscles
Usually by autonomic nervous system or the endocrine system.
Myocardium
Cardiac striated muscles
Control of cardiac muscles
Pacemaker cells; can be modified by the autonomic nervous system.
Pennate skeletal muscles
Characterized by fibers that run obliquely
Unipennate - run from origin to only one side of the tendon of insertion.
Bipennate - fibers attach to both side of tendon of insertion.
Multipennate - fibers passing obliquely between several tendons of origin and insertion.
Strap muscles
Have long fibers
Appendicular skeleton
Comprised of upper and lower extremities including the shoulder and pelvic girdle.
Axial Skeleton
Skull, vertebral column, ribs, costal cartilages and sternum.
Two components of skeletal system
Appendicular and Axial
Layers of bones
Compact bone - outer, cortical layer
Spongy bone - inner medullary layer
Types of bones
Long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid, pneumatized (air filled)
Long bone development
Diaphysis ossified before epiphysis. Growth plates separate diaphysis from epiphysis. Growth plates disappear upon full maturity and epiphysis fuses with diaphysis.
What joins muscles to periosteal layers of bone?
Tendons
Where do periosteal vessels and nutrient arteries enter the bone?
nutrient foramina
Aponeuroses
Broad tendon sheets providing broad insertion of muscles e.g. top of the head
Retinaculum
Broad band of connective tissue holding down tendons that cross joint e.g. in the wrist (flexor retinaculum)
Types of Joints
Fibrous - joined by fibrous tissue and relatively immobile e.g sutures of skull
Catilagenous - primary cartilagenous have hyaline cartilage e.g. between ribs and sternum; secondary carilagenous has fibrous cartilage e.g. between intervertebral discs.
Synovial - most common type; highly mobile; covered by hyaline cartilage and bones joined by fibrous capsule; lined by synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid.
Olecranon bursa
Bursa are fluid filled sacs found in joints. Olecranon bursa in the elbow that does not communicate with the joint cavity of the elbow
Blood supply to joints
Blood vessels (collaterals) form extensive anastomoses to ensure adequate blood supply to joints. Joints are also richly innervated
Shwann cells
Neuroglial cells that produce myelin sheath surrounding most axons; when myelin is compromised, nerve conduction is compromised.
Two divisions of nervous system
Central - brain + spinal cord
Peripheral - spinal, cranial, autonomic nerves and their associated ganglia
How many spinal nerves in cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerves
Eight cervical (C1-C8)
Twelve Thoracic (T1-T12)
Five lumbar (L1 - L5)
Five Sacral (S1 - S5)
One or two Coccygeal (Co)
How many cranial nerves and general location?
12 pairs; mostly in head and neck but vagus nerve innervates thoracic and abdominal viscera.
Spinal nerves
Arise from specific segments of the spinal cord via ventral and dorsal roots; are paired.
Dermatome
specific area of the skin supplied by a particular nerve
Autonomic nervous system innervated what parts?
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands
Two divisions of autonomic nervous system (ANS)
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
