87
What’s the orientation of the femoral diaphysis & tibial diaphysis in relation to the sagittal plane?
The femoral diaphysis and tibial diaphysis are inclined creating the Q angle
88

Our hips widen
91
Is Semitendinosus or Semimembranosus the stronger int knee rotator? Why?
Semitendinosus is stronger int rotator bc the insertion is on the superior ant tibia and wraps medially for leverage.
92
What’s the special structure that two Mm use to stabilize the lat knee jt?

93
Why is the knee the most inured
1. Handles almost all the stress of the body 2. It is flat and not very stable 3. It is held together by ligaments
94
Some humans may pass out if they lock their knees for a prolonged period. Why?
blood flow to the brain becomes inadequate due to locking knees and lack of muscle contraction
95
What’s ant crural compartment syndrome?
When crural fascia tightens and causes more friction. The friction causes pain due to increase in size of muscles which increases pressure and connective tissue becomes tight and inflexible.
96
What are two causes of shin splints?
1. tearing of connective tissue from tibial crest | 2. overuse and over supination/ overpronation of feet
97
Why is it clinically important to know about bursae?
Important to know locations and functions of bursae bc they may become inflammed or infected. They are located where there is a lot of friction so when inflammation happens it could impair movement.
98
The subtalar jt is a complex gliding jt. Note that it lies perpendicular to the line of weight transmission to the ground. WHY?
It lies perpendicular so that there is no sheer stress. The ST joint receives 100% of your BW so if it was not perpenducular it would create torque that could cause injury or tearing.

Smooth muscle
121
What muscle type has intercalated disc (cell membranes connected by special junctions); AP passes directly from cell to cell and has increased mitochodrial density?
Cardiac muscle
122
Myofibrils
Composed of myofilament proteins (myosin & actin) arranged into sarcomeres
123
Sarcomere
Make up myofibrils; one sarcomere = myosin & actin
124
Myosin
Thick protein; has heads that attach to actin sites during muscle contraction
125
Actin
Thin protein; has binding sites covered by tropomyosin that are uncovered for myosin crossbridge
126
Sarcolemma
Membrane enclosing striated muscle fiber; AP propogates down sarcolemma to initiate contraction
127
Sarcoplasm
Muscle cell cytoplasm
128
T-tubules
Tunnel extensions of sarcolemma; propogates AP which then stimulates Ca++ release from SR
129
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Tubular network around myofirbrils that stores & supplies Ca++ to sarcomeres to initiate contraction (crossbridge formation)
130
A Band
Thin and thick proteins; DOES NOT shorten during contraction
131
I Band
No thick proteins; DOES shorten during contraction
132
What’s the maximal contractual length of a skeletal myofiber?
70% shorter than resting length (ex: starts at 3 cm and contracts to 1 cm)
133
What’s optimal muscle fiber overlap?
Skeletal Mm produce maximum tension over a narrow range of sarcomere lengths. If stretched too much, the muscle loses power because of little overlap of the myosin heads & actin binding sites. Too much overlap reduces tension because of disruption of normal bonding relationships (too crowded). Other Mm, bones, & ligg limit the degree of stretching & compression of any one muscle. Tension produced by a contraction varies with the resting (initial) sarcomere length, as well as neurogenic input (Ach release from the nerve). The force of contraction in a muscle is dependent on the number of muscle fibers stimulated & frequency of stimulation. The force is also dependent on belly shape, orientation of the fibers to the applied force, and maximal cross-sectional area of the fibers.
134
Which 3 structures form a tendon?
Epimysium, Perimysium, Endomysium
135
What are the 4 functions of the plantar aponeurosis?
1. Extends line of pull for calcaneal tendon to pes digits 2. Provides leverage in plantarflexion 3. Supports/ maintains arch of foot 4. Protects bottom of pes
136
What is the skeletal M morphological hierarchy from large to small?
belly wrapped in EPIMYSIUM — fascicles wrapped in PERIMYSIUM — muscle fibers wrapped in ENDOMYSIUM — myofibrils — sarcomeres — A & I bands (dArk & lIght)
137
Describe the Sliding Filament Theory
As skeletal M contracts, I band shortens & A band stays the same as overlap occurs. As AP travels down T-tubules, Ca++ is released from SR and binds to troponin which moves the tropomyosin off the actin. Then the myosin head binds to the open site forming a crossbridge and a power stroke occurs (shortening). Maximal overlap occurs at ⅓ of its original length.
138
What is muscle tension determined by?
Tension in a muscle belly is determined by frequency of stimulation and the number of muscle fibers stimulated.
139
How strong are the epimysium/perimysium/endomysium ends (aka tendon framework), & periosteum that encapsulate the musculoskeletal system?
Very strong. It is a woven into lattice work so the tendon can bull the bone off of the muscle. More common for a tendon to pull off the bone than for the tendon to rupture.

144
What's Shoulder bursitis?
Inflammation of bursae in shoulder joint
145
Why don't the humeral head & glenoid fossa form a deep ball& socket?
It sacrifices stability for mobility. ABduction & flexion of the arm involve not only the shoulder jt, but also the clavicle & scapula. Motion at the glenohumeral joint accounts for only 10 out of every 15 degrees of movement.

159
Spongy bone characteristics
“Little beams”; beams of bone that form spongy bone; NO haversian canals
160
9 Steps of building a long bone
1. Formed in cartilage 2. Grows and ossifies gradually 3. periosteum forms around diaphysis and contains osteoblasts 4. Endosteum forms on inside of medullary cavity 5. Primary ossification from center of diaphysis moving outward and hollows center 6. Secondary ossification at epiphyses & in large tuberosities 7. Cartilaginous epiphyseal plate forms 8. periosteum and endosteum remodel to maintain bones shape with growth 9. Max height is reached; epiphyseal plate is ossified into epiphyseal line.

Reflex
Automatic, fast nervous system responses to stimuli
216
Spinal Arc Reflex
Automatic response system that consists of a receptor, afferent neuron, synapse, efferent neuron & effector (such as a muscle of gland). Arcs may include more than one synapse.
217
Stretch Reflex Arc
Automatic response in which a muscle stretch receptor runs to spinal cord, synapses with a motor neuron that twitches a muscle (Ex: knee jerk when the doctor hits your patellar tendon with his hammer.
218
Flexor Reflex Arc
Automatic response that contracts flexor Mm to pull the body part away from the stimulus.
219
Crossed Extensor Reflex Arc
At the same time as the flexor reflex, the automatic response of the extensor reflex happens on the opposite side of the body; extensors contract to ward off the stimulus; for example, you place your left manus on the stove burner, and without conscious thought, your left arm flexes to pull the searing manus away from the heat (flexor reflex), and at the same time your right arm extends to ward off & protect yourself from the maniacal stove.
220
Tendon Reflex Arc
Inhibits muscular action to reduce tendon tension to prevent damage.
221
List the pathway of a simple reflex arc (with an interneuron)
Afferent sensory neuron of ventral ramus → spinal N → dorsal root & its ganglion → interneuron in gray matter of spinal cord → efferent motor neuron in gray matter → ventral root → spinal N → ventral ramus of spinal N → efferent motor neuron transmits signal to effector muscle.
