New cards
57

Periosteum (first layer of the bone)

thin layer of whitish connective tissues and contains nerves and blood vessels, and the inner layer is loose connective tissues that contains osteoblasts. It is anchored to bone by sharpey’s fibers and beneath the periosteum is dense, rigid compact bone.

New cards
58

Compact

the strong and hard section of the bone. Dense and forms the main shaft of long bones and outer layer of other bones

New cards
59

Cancellous

found inside the bone. Lighter in weight and is not as strong as compact bone

New cards

Fibrous joint, cartilaginous joints, and synovial joints

New cards
63

Fibrous Joints

like sutures of the skull, do not move which is jagged line at which bones articulate and form a joint that does not move

New cards
64

Cartilaginous joints

made of connective tissue and cartilage and move very slightly.

Example. the joints between the bones of the vertebrae

New cards
65

Synovial Joints

moveable joints that account for most of the joints in the body.

Some synovial joints are lined with a fibrous sac called bursa and it is filled with synovial fluid and acts as a cushion to ease movement

New cards
66

Ball and socket joints, pivot joints, saddle joints, and gomphoses specialized joints main functions

Ball and socket joints allow for movement such as flexion, extension, and limited rotation and

New cards
67

81

Sprain (Signs and Symptoms)

Pain, swelling, bruising, abnormal movement, and joint weakness (Depending on the severity of damage, it may include pain in the affected area, swelling, bruising, abnormal motion, and joint weakness.)

New cards
82

Muscular System

  • Makes up to 30 to 40 percent of the total body weight

  • The muscles contact and relax to provide for all movement of the body, both internally and externally

  • The muscular system is composed of more than 600 individual muscles. However, only three types of muscles have been identified (Striated, Smooth, and Cardiac)

New cards
83

Striated muscles

are made of long, thin cells that have strips or band across them

  • This type has the largest amount of muscles tissues of the three types and its function is to provide for external body movement, from facial expression to bike riding

  • Only groups of muscles an individual has conscious control over and are sometimes called voluntary muscles

New cards
84

Smooth muscles

is nonstriated tissue

  • Involuntary (controlled by the autonomic nervous system) and are not consciously controlled

  • These muscles are found in internal organs (except the heart), blood vessels, skin, and ducts from glands

New cards
85

Cardiac muscles

has the same striated or striped appearance as skeletal muscles but involuntary in action

  • Only found in the heart

  • Physiologist think the reason cardiac muscle is so durable is that it combines the power of striated voluntary muscles with the steady reliability of smooth, involuntary ones

New cards
86

Muscle Function

  • Muscles are the only bodily tissues that have the ability to contract and relax. Contraction is the tightening of a muscle, during which it becomes shorter and thicker. Relaxation occurs when a muscle returns to its original form or shape.

  • Muscle origin is the place where the muscle begins (originates). This refers to the more fixed attachment, or the portion of the muscle that is toward the midline of the body.

  • Muscle insertion is the place where the muscle ends (inserts). This refers to the more movable attachment, or the portion of the muscle that is away from the midline of the body.

New cards
87

Contusions

Soft tissue trauma

New cards
88

Contusions (Signs and Symptoms)

Swelling, tenderness, and localized hemorrhage and bruising can restrict range of motion without producing loss of joint stability.

New cards
89

Strain

Injury of a muscle that has been stretched

beyond its capacity

New cards
90

Strain (Signs and Symptoms)

Small blood vessels around the area rupture, causing swelling in the area. The area becomes tender, and painful muscle spasms may occur.

New cards
91

Progressive muscular dystrophy

Includes nine types, all with unknown causes

New cards
92

Progressive muscular dystrophy (Signs and Symptoms)

Progressive muscle atrophy with organ involvement and

weakness.

New cards
93

Cardiovascular System

  • The cardiovascular system consists of the (1) circulatory system, (2) heart, and (3) lymphatic system. These systems provide life-sustaining functions for the survival of bodily cells and tissues.

  • Disorders of the heart and lymphatic system have specific signs and symptoms

New cards
94

The Circulatory System

• The two primary functions of the circulatory system are as follows:

• Transports (a) oxygen and nutrients to the body cells, (b) carbon dioxic and waste products from the body cells, and (c) hormones and antibodies throughout the body

• Regulates body temperature and maintains chemical stability

New cards
95

The heart

is a pump that circulates the blood throughout the body

It is covered with three layers:

  • The Pericardium: Outer layer that is composed of a double-walled sac

  • The Myocardium: A tough muscular wall

  • The Endocardium: A thin lining on the inside of the heart

New cards
96

Heart - Chambers

  • The cardiovascular system consists of the (1) circulatory system, (2) heart, and (3) lymphatic system. These systems provide life-sustaining functions for the survival of bodily cells and tissues.

  • • Disorders of the heart and lymphatic system have specific signs and symptoms

New cards
97

Heart - Valves

• One-way valves prevent the backflow of blood and separate the chambers of the heart by opening and closing with each heartbeat.

• The tricuspid valve (with three "cusps," or triangular segments) is found between the right atrium and the right ventricle.

• The mitral valve has two cusps and lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

• Two semilunar valves have three crescent-shaped flaps. The pulmonary semilunar valve allows blood to flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery. Blood flows from the left ventricle into the aorta through the aortic semilunar valve.

New cards
98

Heart - Blood flow through the Heart

  • The right atrium receives blood from the superior and inferior venae cavae, the largest veins that enter the heart.

  • Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle.

  • The right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs.

  • The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the four pulmonary veins. Blood flows from here into the left ventricle.

  • The left ventricle receives blood from the left atrium. Blood then goes into the aorta, the largest of the arteries, and is pumped to all parts of the body except the lungs.

New cards
99

Heart - Blood vessels

• Three major types of blood vessels are found in the body: (1) arteries,

(2) veins, and (3) capillaries.

• The arteries are the large blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to all regions of the body

• The veins form a low-pressure collecting system that returns waste-filled blood to the heart. Veins have thinner walls compared to arteries, and they are less elastic.

• The capillaries form a system of microscopic vessels that connect the arterial and venous systems. Blood flows rapidly along the arteries and veins; however, this flow is much slower through the expanded area provided by the capillaries.

New cards
100

Heart - Blood & Blood cells

  • Hematology is the study of blood. The body contains approximately 4 to 5 L of blood, which accounts for about 8% of the body's weight

  • The blood has three main functions: transportation of nutrients, gases, waste products, and hormones; regulation of the amount of body fluids, pH balance, and body temperature; and protection against pathogens and blood loss after injury through the clotting mechanism.

  • Three main constituents of blood:

  • Erythrocytes: or red blood cells, contain the protein hemoglobin, which gives the erythrocytes the ability to carry oxygen.

  • Leukocytes: or white blood cells, protects the body from infection and disease.

  • Plasma: is a straw-colored fluid that transports nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Plasma is 91% water. The remaining 9% consists mainly of plasma proteins, including albumin and globulin.
