Discussed the following anatomical terms

 

Anatomical & Fundamental Positions Anterior/Posterior Contralateral/Ipsilateral Deep/Superficial
Superior/Inferior Lateral/Medial Distal/Proximal Dorsal/Plantar
Prone/Supine Palmer Ventral  

 

bullet

Discussed the planes of motion

 

Plane Definition Axis of rotation Common Movements
Frontal Bisects (splits) the body laterally from side to side...divides into front and back halves Anteroposterior Abduction & Adduction
Sagittal Bisects the body into right and left halves Lateral Flexion & Extension
Transverse Divides body horizontally into superior and inferior halves Vertical Pronation & Supination; spinal rotation

 

bullet

Discussed movements of joints

bullet

When performing movement analysis, it becomes more difficult to understand which plane of motion the body is moving through, as it probably is a combination of all of them

bullet

A joint is comprised of two or more bones coming together...or articulating...with each other

bullet

Discussed three classifications of joints...we will focus on the diarthrodial joints in this class

 

Classification Definition Example
Synarthrodial Immovable joint Joint between lilium, ischium, and pubis
Amphiarthrodial Slightly movable joint Symphysis pubis
Diarthrodial Freely movable joints Shoulder

 

bullet

Discussed joint structure

 

JOINT STRUCTURE

DEFINING ELEMENTS

Bone type

Will aid in determining the range of motion

Will aid in determining joint type

Ligament

Join bone-to-bone for structure

Little to no blood supply

Tendon

Connective tissue

Join muscle-to-bone for movement

Little blood supply

Articular or hyaline cartilage

Connective tissue

Covers the ends of bones for less friction and wear

Little to no blood supply

Joint cavity fluid

Includes synovial fluid and bursa sacs

Aids in less friction and as a cushioning agent

Other "stuff"

Muscles, blood vessels, nerves, etc that cross the joint area and impact range of motion

 

bullet

Types of diarthrodial joints

 

CLASSIFICATION NAME TYPICAL MOVEMENTS JOINT EXAMPLE PLANE OF EXAMPLE
Arthrodial Gliding/sliding Intercarpal Not applicable
Condyloidal Flexion/Extension, ABD/ADD Metacarpophalangeal #2-5 Sagittal, Frontal
Enarthrodial Flexion/Extension, ABD/ADD, Internal/External Rotation Iliofemoral Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse
Ginglymus Flexion/extension Humeroulnar Sagittal
Sellar Flexion/Extension, ABD/ADD, Internal/External Rotation Carpometacarpal #1 Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse

Notes for Week 1 (Printer-Friendly)

 

Monday, September 28

bullet

Link for joint activity

bullet

Discussed the skeletal system

bullet

Osteology refers to the study of bone

bullet

When born, most of the skeletal system is cartilage, not bone

bullet

As we age, bone becomes more solid...refer to the table on p. 13 regarding the general age when bone becomes physically mature

bullet

Once bone becomes physically mature, a process called bone remodeling occurs to replace brittle bone with stronger bone

bullet

In bone remodeling, osteoclast cells remove the brittle bone while osteoblast cells create a bone matrix in the cavity created by the osteoclasts.  Once this bone matrix solidifies, it becomes as strong as the existing/previous bone...similar to cement

bullet

There are two primary types of bone: cortical (compact) and spongy (trabecular, cancellous) bone

bullet

Cortical bone surrounds most bone with spongy bone on the inside

bullet

Long bones contain cortical bone in the diaphysis (middle) and spongy bone on the epiphyses (ends)

bullet

Growth takes place in the epiphyseal end-plates (between the diaphysis and epiphysis)

bullet

Bone is living, even upon maturity

bullet

Bone landmarks are divided into processes and cavities

bullet

Bone processes include elevations and projections that are used as attachments sites for tendons, ligaments, and muscle

bullet

Bone cavities are depressions that include openings and grooves for tendons, blood vessels, and other physiological structures

bullet

Worked in partners for a lab experience in the skeletal system...paper test, skeleton model, individual bones...to learn the bone names and bone landmarks

bullet

Skeletal System Exam

bullet

The names of the muscles can be associated with a number of different characteristics...see p. 36

bullet

Shapes of muscles

 

Shape Definition Example
Parallel Fibers are parallel; better endurance sartorius
Radiate Fan shaped; stronger than parallel pectoralis major
Unipennate Fibers oblique to one tendon biceps femoris
Bipennate Fibers run to both sides of tendon rectus femoris
Multipennate Several tendons with fibers running diagonal to them deltoid

 

bullet

Discussed terms

 

TERM DEFINITION
Action The specific movement of the joint
Innervation The segment of the nervous system providing a stimulus to muscle fibers
Gaster Belly of the muscle; the central, fleshy portion of the muscle; the contractile portion of the muscle
Tendon Connective tissue that connects the muscle to the bone(s)
Origin The proximal attachment of a muscle, usually
Insertion The distal attachment of a muscle, usually

 

bullet

Discussed types of muscle contraction

 

CONTRACTION TYPE DEFINITION
Isometric, static Tension is developed within the muscle, but the joint angles remain constant
Isotonic, dynamic Concentric The muscle shortens while producing enough force to overcome a resistance
Eccentric The muscle lengthens  while gradually having less force to control the descent of a resistance

 

bullet

Discussed roles of muscle

 

ROLE DEFINITION
Agonist The muscle that is contracted concentrically causes the joint motion; also known as prime mover
Antagonist Usually located opposite the agonist; have the opposite concentric action to the agonist; contralateral
Stabilizer Muscles that surround the joint of body part and contract to stabilize the area
Synergist Muscles that assist in the action of agonists
Neutralizers Muscles that counteract or neutralize the action of other muscles

Monday, October 5

bullet

With lab partner, answered questions from a quiz on biomechanics

bullet

1st class lever = FAR (force, axis, resistance)...nodding head

bullet

2nd class lever = ARF (axis, resistance, force)...stepping up on tip-toe

bullet

3rd class lever = AFR (axis, force, resistance)...biceps brachii (most muscles are situated in this configuration)

bullet

Force arm = distance of force from axis

bullet

Resistance arm = distance of resistance from axis

bullet

Force X force arm = resistance X resistance arm (work in must equal work out)

bullet

Give up force for range of motion

bullet

 Give up range of motion for force

bullet

Torque is the movement of force around an axis

bullet

Discussed the Laws of Motion

 

Law of Motion

Definition

Law of Inertia

A body in motion tends to remain in motion at the same speed in a straight line unless acted on by a force; a body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by a force.

Law of acceleration

A change in the acceleration of a body occurs in the same direction as the force that caused it.  The change in acceleration is directly proportional to the force causing it and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

Law of reaction

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.
