amphiarthroses-symphysis
bones are separated by a wedge or pad of cartilage between the pubic bones of the two coxal bones
synovial joints
diarthroses joints are also called
examples of diarthroses joints
shoulder joint, elbow joint, hip joint, knee joint
synovial joint
more movement, more injury, less strength
angular movements
abduction/adduction flexion/extension
abduction
away from midline
adduction
towards midline
flexion
reduces angle between articulating elements
extension
increases angle between articulating elements
special movements
inversion/eversion dorsiflexion/plantar flexion lateral flexion protraction/retraction opposition depression/elevation
inversion
turning sole inward causes more injury
eversion
turning sole outward
dorsiflexion
foot upwards(toes up)
plantar flexion
foot downwards(stepping on gas)
lateral flexion
vertebral column bends to the side
protraction
jaw outward, cross arms
retraction
back to normal, jaw back, arms uncrossed
opposition
thumb with any other finger pressed together
depression
move something downward(inferior)
elevation
move something upward(superior)
gliding joint
monaxial slight linear motion clavicle and manubrium
pivot joint
monaxial rotation joint at C1 and C2
saddle joint
biaxial angular motion looks like saddle carpometacarpal joint
hinge joint
monaxial angular motion elbow joint, knee joint, ankle joint
ellipsoid joint
biaxial angular motion metacarpophalangeal joint WRIST area looks like stamp
ball and socket joint
triaxial angular motion, circumduction, rotation shoulder joint, hip joint
skeletal muscle
pulls on skeletal bone, voluntary contraction
cardiac muscle
pushes blood through arteries and veins, rhythmic contractions
smooth muscle
pushes floods and solids along the digestive tract(example) involuntary contraction
4 basic properties of muscle
excitability, contractibility, extensibility, elasticity
excitability
ability to respond to stimuli
contractibility
ability to shorten and exert a pull or tension
extensibility
ability to continue to contract over a range of resting lengths
elasticity
ability to rebound toward its original length
skeletal muscle functions
produce skeletal movement maintain posture and body position support soft tissue regulate entering and exiting of material regulate body temperature
epimysum tissue
dense tissue that surrounds entire muscle
perimysium
dense tissue that divides the muscle into parallel components of fascicles(muscle fibers)
endomysium
dense tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers
structural order of organization of skeletal tissue
skeletal muscle-EPIMYSIUM muscle fascicle-PERIMYSIUM muscle fiber(cell)-ENDOMYSIUM
calcium ions
what ion triggers muscle contraction
sarcolemma
membrane that surrounds the muscle cell
sarcoplasm
cytosol of the muscle cell
myofibirls
sarcoplasm contains
myofibrils
responsible for the contraction of muscles
sarcoplasmic reticulum
surrounding each myofibril is the
myofilaments
myofibrils are made of
thin protein filaments
actin
thick protein filaments
myosin
sacromere organization
myosin and actin both arranged in repeating units called sacromeres
sacromere
main functioning unit of muscle fibers consists of overlapping actin and myosin overlapping creates the striations that give skeletal muscle its identifiable characteristic
each sacromere consists of
z line i band a band(cause striations) h band m line
myosin
dark purple
actin
light pink
h band
myosin/thick filament only
a band
myosin and actin
smaller
upon contraction: H and I bands get
larger
upon contraction: zone of overlap gets
closer together
upon contraction: z lines move
remains constant
upon contraction: A band
troponin
holds tropomysin in position
tropomysin
protein that covers the binding sites when the muscles is relaxed
T-tubule function
conduct impulses getting active potential to start sarcoplasmic reticulum
acetylcholine
the main neurotransmitter involved with skeletal muscle contraction
1:contraction cycle begins
acetylchloine released causes release of calcium ions from the SR
2:active site exposure
calcium ions bind to troponin tropomyosin molecules rolls away from active sites
3:cross bridge formation
myosin heads bind to active sites
4:myosin head pivoting
energy released as myosin heads pivot toward M line
5:cross bridge detachment
ATP binds to myosin heads, breaking cross bridge
6:myosin reactiviation
ATP reactivates myosin head and return to normal positions
3 major types of muscle fibers
fast, intermediate, slow
fast fibers
white fibers
intermediate fibers
pink fibers
slow fibers
red fibers
fast fiber characteristics
large in diameter large glycogen reserves few mitochondria muscles contract using ANAEROBIC metabolism fatigue easily can contract in .01 seconds or less after stimulation produce powerful contractions
slow fiber characteristics
HALF the diameter of fast fibers take 3 TIMES longer to contract after stimulation can contract for extended periods of time contain abundant myoglobin(red color) muscles contract using AEROBIC metabolism large network of capillaries
intermediate fiber characteristics
similar to fast fibers: low myoglobin, high glycolytic enzyme concentration, ANAEROBIC metabolism similar to slow fibers: lots of mitochondria, greater capillary supply, resist fatigue
fast fibers
eye and hand muscles sprinters intense workouts
slow/intermediate fibers
back and leg muscles marathon runners training for long distance
prime movers(agonists)
responsible for producing a particular movement
antagonists
actions oppose the action of the agonist
synergists
assist the prime mover in performing an action
fixaters
agonist and antagonist muscles contracting at the same time to stabalize a joint
primer mover example
biceps brachii-flexes the lower arm
antagonists example
triceps brachii-extends the lower arm
synergists example
latissimus dorsi and teres major contract to move the arm medially over the posterior body
fixators example
flexor and extensor muscles contract at the same time to stabiliaze an outstretched hand
first class lever
fulcrum(joint) lies between the applied force and the resistance force(opposed force)
first class lever example
tilting the head forward and backward
second class lever
resistance is located between the applied force and the fulcrum(joint)
second class lever example
standing on your tiptoes
