Q

the articulations of the knee joint are two cruciate ligaments which help/limit the femurs movement anteriorly and posteriorly on the tibia. what are they?

Q

what does the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) run from? what does it prevent?

A
  • runs posterior from the femur and finishes anterior of the tibia
  • when the knee is extended the cal is pulled tight and prevents hyperextension.
  • prevents the tibia from moving too far anteriorly of the femur.

  • becomes tight on flexion
  • prevents hyper flexion of the knee joint.

26
what ligament is is frequently torn in knee dislocations?
the ACL
27
what types of graphs can be used in an ACL replacement?
- from a cadaver (allograft) - from the patient itself: patellar ligament,or hamstring (autograft) - NOT with the quadriceps tendon.
28
what type of hinge joint is in the ankle that permits dorsiflexion and plantar flexion? how many articulations within the one joint capsule?
- talocrural joint | - two
29
where are the two articulations of the talocrural joint found?
1. between the distal end of the tibia and the talus. | 2. between the end of the fibula and the lateral articular facets of the talus.
30
what covers the distal surface of the tibia, the medial malleolus, the lateral malleolus, and the talus?
articular capsule
31
four ligaments support the ankle joint on the outside of the capsule. what are they?
1. deltoid ligament: MEDIAL side 2. anterior talofibular igament 3. posterior talofibular ligament 4. calcaneofibular ligament.
32
Wheres does the deltoid ligament extend from?
MEDIAL side, medial malleolus of the tibia to the talus, calcareous, and other tarsal bones. - very strong and rarely tears. - prevents overeversion of the foot.
33
where does the anterior talofibular ligament run?
passes anteriorly from the malleolus of the fibula to the talus
34
where does the posterior talofibular ligament run?
passes posteriorly from the malleolus of the fibula to the talus.
35
where does the calcaneofibular (lateral) ligament run?
inferiorly from the malleolus of the fibula to the calcaneus.
36
ankle sprains are a common type of?
injury
37
what is the MOST COMMON cause of motion of the foot to cause a sprain?
EXCESSIVE INVERSION of the sole of the foot. | -resulting in partial or complete tearing of the anterior taliofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments.
38
what are the joints between the tarsal bones?
intertarsal joints - gliding joints. - creates inversion and version of the foot.
39
what joints are between the metatarsals and the phalanges of the toes? what types of movements do they allow?
- metatarsophalangeal joints - condyloid joint - abduction, adduction, flexion, extension.
40
what are the joints between the phalanges of the toes?
interphalangeal joints -hinge joints as seen in the fingers and the toes.

cells will recoil to its resting length when applies tension in removed.
56
what does extensibility mean?
muscle cell is capable of extending in length in response to the contraction of opposing muscle cells. (stretch/extend when doing a curl)

what are skeletal muscles cels referred to as?
muscle fibers
58
an increase in muscle fiber size because of exercise is called what?
hypertrophy
59
what are the 5 functions of skeletal muscle tissue?
1. body movement 2. maintenance of posture- stabilize joints 3. temperature regulation 4. storage and movement of materials 5. stabilize the body walls an prevent displacement of internal structures.
60
the sphincter muscles contract at openings of what?
gastrointestinal and urinary tract. - voluntary muscles. - closed: to STORE materials within the organ. - open; facilitate MOVEMENT of materials.
61
at the end of each muscle lies what?
cordlike tendon
62
sometime tendons form a thin flattened sheet call what?
aponeurosis
63
what is the LESS MOVABLE ATTACHMENT of a muscle called?
origin
64
in the limbs, the origin lies ____ to the insertion.
PROXIMAL
65
the more movable attachment of a muscle is called what?
insertion
66
in the limbs, the insertion typically lies ____ to its origin.
DISTAL
67
An extensive network of blood vessels and nerve fibers extend through what?
epimysium and perimysium
68
what do blood vessels deliver to the muscle fibers?
nutrients and oxgen for the production of ATP
69
what are skeletal muscle classified as? voluntary or involuntary? why?
voluntary | -controlled by the "somatic (voluntary) nervous system.
70
what are the names of the neurons that stimulate muscle contraction?
motor neurons - aka efferent neurons - they travel AWAY from the center of activity
71
what will happen if a muscle is not stimulated to contract by motor neurons?
atrophy
72
each motor neuron has a long extension called a what?
axon
73
what are sensory neurons called and why?
afferent neurons. - becasue they travel towards the central nervous system - send impulses to the brain and spinal cord about activity of the muscles.
