Q

For a tattoo to be permanent, what layer of the integument must the ink be inserted to and why

A

Ink must be injected into the dermis layer of the skin to be permanent. If ink was injected into the epidermis, the tattoo would not last and will eventually fade/disappear because of the shedding constantly occurring in this region of the skin where new cells replace the cells that shed

Q

If the surface of the skin (epidermis) suffers an injury, would the ridges on fingertips grow back in the same pattern? What about dermis

A

If the epidermis is damaged, the ridges will still grow with the same pattern. However, if the dermis is damaged, the original ridge would be altered due to scarring

32
3 structural classification of joint
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
33
Types of fibrous joints (3)
- Suture --> synarthrosis, between skull bones - Syndesmosis --> amphiarthrosis, distal end of fibula and tibula - Gomphosis --> synarthrosis, binds teeth to socket
34
Types of cartilaginous joints (2)
- Synchondrosis --> synarthrosis, epiphyseal plate (temporary)/anterior end of ribs 2-7 and coastal cartilage (permanent) - Symphysis --> amphiarthrosis, between two pubic bones/discs between vertebrae
35
Types of synovial joints (all diarthrosis) (6)
- Pivot --> rounded portion of one bone rotates in depression in another bone. ROTATION around single axis (uniaxial), atlandoaxial joint/proximal radioulnar joint - Hinge --> surface of one articulating bone is concave and the other is convex. FLEXION/EXTENSION Bending and straightening around single axis (uniaxial), elbow joint/knee/ankle joint/between phalanges - Saddle --> ends of both bones are saddle shaped and fit together. FLEXION/EXTENSION, ABDUCTION/ADDUCTION, CIRCUMDUCTION Movement in sagittal and frontal planes (biaxial), carpometacarpal joint/sternoclavicular joint - Plane --> articulating surfaces are flat and slightly curved. GLIDING Flat bones slide over each other (uniaxial/biaxial/multiaxial), intercarpal joint/intertarsal joint/acromioclavicular joint/ygapophysial joint - Condyloid --> the convex oval shape of one bone fits into concave oval depression in another bone. FLEXION/EXTENSION, ABDUCTION/ADDUTION, CIRCUMDUCTION Forward backward and side movements (biaxial), knucle joint/radiocarpal joint of wrist - Ball and socket --> rounded ball at the end of one bone articulates with rounded depression of another. FLEXION/EXTENSION, ABDUCTION/ADDUCTION, CIRCUMDUCTION, ROTATION, Bone moving in depression on another bone (multiaxial), hip joint/shoulder joint
36
4 components of lever system:
- Lever arm: Bone or series of bones - Fulcrum (movement takes place around this): Body joint or point of contact between body and object - Load (what is moved): External object or weight of body being moved - Effort (moves load): Muscle contraction
37
Effort arm
Distance between fulcrum and force
38
Load arm
Distance between fulcrum and load
39
Mechanical advantage (MA)
Reduces amount of force required to lift a load or moves a load further than would be possible without lever (mechanical advantage = length of effort arm/length of load arm)
40
First class lever
Fulcrum in the middle and can be power or speed levers
41
Second class lever
Load in the middle and is a power lever
42
Third class lever
Effort in the middle and is a speed lever
43
Given the same length of forearm, what advantages and disadvantages might result if the biceps muscle inserted further from the elbow?
If the bicep muscle is inserted farther away from the elbow, the effort arm and effort is farther away from the fulcrum and the resistance arm and resistance is closer to the fulcrum. This means the arm would only need small effort to push resistance, but will be slower and over a small distance
44
What are the implications for longer limbs to activities such as: Weightlifting? Pitching a baseball?
- Weightlifting: Longer arms when weightlifting means more effort has to be exerted against the weight resistance - Pitching a baseball: Longer arms when pitching a baseball means more effort can be exerted into the resistance when thrown, so it can go farther.
45
If tony and maria have the same insertion point of biceps branchii, but tony has a larger forearm, what is the advantage of tony?
Tony can move the load over a much greater distance in comparison to maria when lifting the same load
46
Basic calculation lever
effort x effort arm = load x load arm
47
Effort calculation
Effort = load arm/effort arm x mass
48

54
Starting in anatomical position but with palms facing body and raising arm to the side, bending hands 90 degrees so fingers point at ceiling
Abduction of arm at shoulder; hyperextension of hand at wrist
55
Lowering hands and arms back down from raising arm to the side bending hands at 90 degrees
Adduction of arm at shoulder; flexion of hand at wrist
56

67
Origin
Bone remains relatively stable when the muscle contracts
68
Insertion
Attaches bone that will move once muscle is contracted
69
Smooth muscle
Lines digestive tract, bladder, uterus, arteries and veins and moves food through the digestive tract, controlling size of pupil and assisting to push out urine out of bladder into urethra
70
Smooth muscle structure
Involuntary, smooth, non striated, unbranched
71
Cardiac muscle
Found within the heart and keeps heart contracting
72
Cardiac muscle structure
Involuntary, striated, branched muscle with intercalated discs
73
Skeletal muscle
Throughout the body attached to bones via tendons and works on skeletal system for movement
74
Skeletal muscle structure
Voluntary, striated, unbranched
75
Grip strength
Useful tool for assessing variety of sports and medical conditions. Can be used for rehabilitation or to determine the extent of an injury or disease
76
Analysis of grip strength:
- Males have higher grip strength at all ages than females - After the 4th decade, grip strength decreases both sexes - Dominant hand stronger than non dominant - Difference in strength between two hands was less in males
77
If we test finger strength, which fingers do you think would be the strongest/weakest
Varies on individual but typically the middle finger as it is the largest and has the strongest muscles supporting them able to provide a better leverage for gripping and tasks. The weakest is typically the pinky finger as it has the fewest and smaller muscles supporting it resulting in less overall strength and grip
78
Calcium function in muscle contraction
Calcium is required to unblock the binding site on actin which is covered by a troponin/tropomyosin complex
79
ATP function in muscle contraction
Provide energy for myosin to form cross-bridge with actin
80
Glycerination of skeletal muscle
Removes ions and ATP from tissue and disrupts the troponin/tropomyosin complex so that the binding sites on the actin fibers are no longer blocked
81
Degree of concentration (%) formula
Initial length of strand-final length of strand/initial length of strand x100
82
Why is calcium not required for muscle contraction in this experiment
Glycerinated muscle fibers are treated with glycerol, which removes calcium from the muscle cells and disrupts the normal calcium-dependent mechanisms of contraction. It essentially eliminates the calcium-dependent regulatory steps, but the muscle fibers can still contract using ATP as their energy source
83
When ATP was added, the muscle contracted. If the length shortens, how should the width be affected:
Width increases as the length shortens because it is all bundled up together
