Chapter 8, Problem 19RAC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Joints are formed by the articulation of the surfaces of two or more bones. They also consist of cartilage, synovial membrane, ligaments, tendons, synovial fluids, bursa and meniscus. With aging, there are a number of changes that occur within the joints due to a decrease in strength of ligament and tendons and the modification in the protein structure of collagen fiber.

The design of synovial joints permits free movement of bones. However, if bones moved too freely, they would potentially move right out of their joint cavities (dislocation). A number of factors modify movement at synovial joints. Pick 2 factors from the list below and explain how your chosen factors affect joint motion.
Bones
Fat Pad
Hormones
Muscles
Ligaments
Bones, Muscles, and JointsYou are at a sports complex that has several events going on to include soccer, lacrosse, basketball and football. as you walk around and stop at the different games you spot different incidents occur that require the player t leave the field. these include a player holding there arm/shoulder, one unable to put weight on their foot/leg, one holding the area around the buttocks/upper thigh, one is holding the side of his head, and one is holding these stomach/side. knowing what you know now about the bones, muscles and joints discuss in detail, what bones muscles or joints are in these areas and what type of diagnostic technique could be used
Whenever the position of a joint is stabilized at a certain attitude, the nervous system produces this by :-
a- increasing the α-motor neuron discharge to all muscles attached to the jointb- increasing the γ-motor neuron discharge to all muscles attached to the jointc- increasing γ-motor neuron discharge to postural musclesd- co-activation of α and γ-motor neurons innervating the involved muscles

- Molly is a 10-year-old girl of short stature with hyperelastic skin which bruises easily, and hypermobile joints which are easily dislocated. Molly's mother said that Molly's diet includes fruits and vegetables high in Vitamin C, so she does not have a vitamin C deficiency. She also has no signs of anemia and has normal iron levels. You decide to refer Molly to a surgeon who will correct the looseness of Molly's joints. The surgeon agrees to take skin samples during the surgery so that you can perform an analysis of her fibroblasts. These cells produce connective tissue in the skin. Because skin, ligaments, and tendons have collagen as their major structural protein, you suspect that Molly is unable to synthesize collagen properly and you wish to test this hypothesis. That evening, you have dinner with your old college friend, who is now a veterinarian. You describe Molly's symptoms to her and she remarks that Molly's symptoms sound remarkably similar to a condition called…arrow_forwardWhich is not a mechanical function of the skeletal system?

Diaphyris of lemur Fractured eplphyseal plate Eplphysia Joint cavity Epiphyseal plate Diaphysis of tibla Figure 6.16 Fracture of the Epiphyseal Plate Radlograph of an adolescent's knee. The femur (thighbone) s separated from the tibla (leg bane) by a Jolnt cavíty. The eplphysenl plate of the femur is fractured, thereby separating the diaphysis from the epiphysis.arrow_forwardWhat is a joint?

- Running, or exercise/sports in general at the recreational level, is not associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis of the lower limb joints. Why is this? Healthy cartilage is really good at repairing itself from damage in adulthood. Don't know for sure, but it's suspected that the strains involved trigger the cartilage to grow stronger, especially when young. O The peak loads these movements place on joints are small, similar to the peak loads in walking O The stress-life of cartilage is long enough that these activities cannot exhaust itarrow_forwardAll of the following are important functions carried out by the skeletal system Except O produces red and white blood cells stores the majority of water for the body stores and releases minerals and fat protects important internal organs supports the bodyarrow_forwardAll of the following are important functions carried out by the skeletal system Except produces red and white blood cells stores the majority of water for the body stores and releases minerals and fat Oprotects important internal organsarrow_forward
- An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardWhat happens when the muscular action potential spreads through transverse (T) tubules of the sarcolemma? The action potential in T tubules triggers the release of acetylcholine from the axon terminals of the motor neuron. The action potential in T tubules triggers closing of sodium channels and opening of potassium channels, which enables myosin cross bridges to form. The action potential in T tubules opens voltage-sensitive calcium channels in the T tubules, allowing calcium to flow into the sarcoplasm. The action potential in T tubules causes a shape change in voltage-sensitive proteins that pull open calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.arrow_forwardWhat is the function of a tendon?
