Anatomical Position

• If you are looking at a picture then right is left and left is right

Skeletal System – naming bones and knowing locations

• Bones, cartilage and ligaments• The bones in your skeleton are

alive

• Ligaments – link and hold bones together. They also prevent excessive motion

Types and parts of Bone

• Compact – hard outer surface

• Spongy – inner trabeculated

• Marrow inside the bone – stores fat and makes new red blood cells

• Cartilage lines the surface of a joint and is the flexible material found in the ears and tip of the nose

• Growth plates – cartilage surfaces which allow bones to grow in length. These close by age 15 in girls and 18 in boys

Shoulder joint

• This is a ball and socket joint.

• Fracture• Sprain• Bruise

• Protuberances• Tuberosities• Origins• Insertions

Muscular System

– Move bones – by contracting and relaxing– Maintain posture – continuously active– Squeeze and pump – assist the circulatory system– Very Important involuntary ones                                                 

3 types of muscles

• Smooth – digestive system – moves food and waste through the system via peristalsis. Uses predominantly involuntary muscles.

• found within the "walls” of hollow organs; such as blood vessels, bladders, uteri. gastrointestinal tracts

• Cardiac – found only in the heart – self excitatory• Skeletal – attached to the bones for movement

How would you characterize this muscle? The nuclei are centrally located, there are no striations, and the muscle fibers do not branch. Another good clue that this is smooth muscle is that when smooth

muscle contracts, the nuclei take on a corkscrew appearance.

•

How would you characterize this muscle? The nuclei are centrally located, striations are present, and there is branching of the muscle fibers. Several intercalated discs are

indicated by the white arrow heads.

How would you characterize this muscle? The nuclei are peripheral, striations are present, and there is no branching of the muscle fibers. Even when you cannot visualize striations, the peripherally placed nuclei allow you to differentiate skeletal muscle from

both cardiac and smooth muscle.

Muscle Definitions• Voluntary – under conscious control• Involuntary – work irregardless of

thought• Tendons – strands of connective

tissue located at the ends of muscle. Attach the muscle to the bone

• Flexor – bend a part of the body• Extensor – straighten a part of the

body• Muscle tone – a baseline

contraction that a muscle maintains even during relaxation

* Many muscles work in pairs

(contraction & relaxation)

Movement Types

• Flexion• Extension• Rotation• Lateral flexion• Abduction• Adduction• Circumduction• Internal rotation• External rotation• Elevation • Depression

• Distraction• Translation• Inversion • Eversion• Dorsiflexion• Plantar flexion• Pronation • Supination• Protrusion• Retraction

Growth

• Muscles grow in length in response to a stretch.

• Muscles grow in bulk in response to a need.

Injury• Muscle strain• Ruptured tendon

•Overstretching or overuse•Overuse can be a singular event or a repetitive activity•Inflammation

Treatment

• Ice or heat?• Immobilization or mobilization?

R – restI – IceC – CompressionE - Elevation

                                

Steroids

• Anabolic Steroids – powerful chemicals that resemble the male hormone testosterone.

Damages: heart, liver, kidneys, testes in men, labido, hirsuitism in women, emotional instability.

• It also happens to be cheating
