29
Joint
Where two or more bones meet
30
What joint allows no movement?
Fixed/Fibrous joint
31
What joint allows slight movement?
Cartilaginous joint
32
What joint allows free movement?
Synovial joint
33
Synovial Joint (consists of)
- synovial capsule - collagenous material - synovia membrane - synovial fluid
34
What are the 6 types of synovial joints?
- gliding - saddle - condyloid - pivot - ball and socket - hinge
35
Gliding joint (example)
Flat bones glide past each other in a biaxial manner. E.g. Carpals joint
36
Condyloid joint (example)
Similar to hinge joint but allows rotation(biaxial). E.g. Wrist joint
37
Pivot joint (example)
A uniaxial joint that allows only rotation. E.g. Atlanto-axis joint in neck
38
Saddle joint (example)
Where concave and convex bones align generally biaxial. E.g. Carpo-metacarpal joint of thumb
39
Hinge Joint (example)
A uniaxial joint. E.g. Elbow joint
40
Ball and socket (example)
A rounded bone head articulates with a cup-shaped cavity. E.g. Shoulder joint
41
Flexion
Angle decrease between articulating bones
42
Extension
Angle increasing between articulating bones
43
Abduction
Body part moving away from the midline of the body
44
Adduction
Body part moving towards the midline of the body
45
Rotation
A bone turned on it’s axis can be medial or lateral rotation.
46
Circumduction
None moving in circular fashion generally possible in ball and socket joint.
47
Supination
Palm up
48
Pronation
Palm down
49
Dorsiflexion
Toes up
50
Plantarflexion
Toes down
51
Inversion
Sole inward
52
Eversion
Sole outward
53
Tendons
Muscle to bone
54
Ligament
Bone to bone
55
Muscles (Functions)
- Posture - Essential body function - Movement
56
Reciprocal inhibition
muscles working in teams, agonists contracts while antagonists relaxes
57
Agonist
Muscle that causes the action (prime mover)
58
Antagonist
Muscle that lengthens and relaxes to allow movement to occur
59
Stabilisers
Muscle that stabilise one part of body while other part is moving
60
What are the 4 muscle fibre arrangements?
- Circular - Convergent - Pennate - Fusiform
61
Circular muscle fibre
Arranged in rings. E.g. Eyes and mouth
62
Convergent muscle fibre
Broad origin then converge, triangular in appearance. E.g. Pectoralis major
63
Pennate muscle fibre
Muscle fibres are short and attach to central tendon that runs the length of the muscle, high strength and power. E.g. Deltoid, Quadriceps
64
Fusiform muscle fibre
Muscle fibres run the same direction as tendons, low force but high mobility. E.g. Hamstrings and biceps brachii
65
Muscle fibre arrangement
Thousands of muscle fibres arranged into bundles called fasciculi
66
Stages from nerve impulse to muscle action
1. Brian initiates a message 2. Nerve impulse go down spinal cord and to motor nerve 3. Message passed to Motor neurons 4. Message branches off to all muscle fibres controlled by that nerve
67
Motor unit (consists?) + Motor unit recruitment
Consists of one motor neuron and the muscle fibres that it stimulates Fine movements use motor units connected to less muscle fibres Gross movement may use motor units with thousands of fibres.
68
All or nothing principle
When an electrical impulse reaches a certain threshold all fibres of that motor unit will contract simultaneously.
69
Muscle fibre types
1. Slow twitch fibres (oxidative) 2. Fast twitch - 2A (oxidative) - 2B (glycolic)
70
Isoinertial contraction
Resistance/load remains constant
71
Isometric contraction
Force is developed but there is no change in length of muscle
72
Isokinetic contraction
Muscle contracts maximally through whole range of motion, uses special equipment.
