Lecture 1: Bones, joints, ligaments Flashcards
What do we need to study movement
Understand relations/positions in space
= need common frame of reference
What do relations depend on
Position in space
= need common starting position
Describe change of position
Movement
Can occur in diff directions and use diff muscles
Diff planes
Need a common coordinate system
Describe anatomical position
Starting position of human body
When discussing position orientation or movement of structures or parts of body
= standing up
Feet/toes pointing forwards
Arms at sides, palms facing forward
Eyes forward - head neutral
Describe anatomical planes and axes
Since body 3d = can divide body along 3 orthogonal planes - perpendicular to each other - with axes running perpendicularly through them
Name the 3 anatomical planes
Sagittal
Coronal
Transverse
Describe Sagittal plane
Divides body into left and right halves
Along transverse axis
Describe coronal plane
Divides body into ant front and post back halves
Along sagittal axis
Describe transverse plane
Divides body into sup and inf halves at navel
Along longitudinal axis
Describe relative location
Planes/aces allow us to define the relagiove location of anatomical structures
Describe med lat
Medial = towards sagittal plane
Lateral = away sagittal plane
Thumb lat to pinky
Describe dorsal post vs ventral ant
Dorsal back post
Ventral ant stomach
Along coronal plane
Ear post to nose
Describe sup cranial bus inf caudal
Sup cranial skull
Inf caudal tail
Along transverse plane
Shoulder sup to hand
Describe proximal vs distal
Used in limbs
Pros = closer to trunk or origin
Distal = further away from trunk or origin, towards extremity
Elbow distal to shoulder, elbow proximal to wrist
Describe superficial vs deep
Superficial = closure to skin
Deep = further away form skin closer to bone
Femur deep to recuts femoris
What makes lever systems
Bones
Joints and muscles
What is a lever system
Consists of rigid beam - lever
That can rotate about a fixed point - centre of rotation or fulcrum- when forces applied
Point of lever system
In order to move big object
Apply one force in order to move another
Describe msk lever system
Levers = bones
Centers of rotation = joints
Forces applied =external (gravity, friction, doctor applying force), internal (muscular, counters ext force)
Describe forces in lever systems
Forces applied generate torques - trendy to rotate around joint
Aka movements
Whertehr lever rotates around centre depends on balance of internal and external torques
Determines movements
Overcomes /resist force
What does torque depend on
Forces and distances at which they are applied
Describe bones as levers
Rigid levers that allow internal forces from muscles to be transferred elsewhere to resist or overcome external forces and generate movement
Beam must be hard = bone, translate force over fulcrum
Describe bone roles
Many important physiological roles = hematopoiesis = make RBcs
Rigid levers
Describe bicep - bones as levers ex
Bones translate= from where force berated to where want to aact
Flexion = biceps contraction = internal force, generates torque, radius/ulna = lever, dumbbell weight = external force
