Anatomy and Physiology

• Bones are body organs with blood supply, nerves, and lymphatic vessels

• Bones are connected to each other to form skeleton Framework for the body 206 bones

• Red bone marrow within bones produces blood cells

• Bones also: Protect vital organs Store minerals

• Joint Place where two bones meet Held together by ligaments Gives flexibility to skeleton

• Also called osseous tissue• One of hardest materials in body• Formed from gradual process before birth called ossification

• Fetal skeleton is formed from a cartilage model

• Flexible tissue is gradually replaced by osteoblasts (immature bone cells)

• In adult bones osteoblasts mature into osteocytes

• Formation of strong bones dependant on adequate supply of minerals

Four Shapes of Bones

Long bonesShort bones

Flat bonesIrregular bones

Longer than wide

Example: femur humerus

Roughly as long as wide

Smooth Muscles

• Associated with internal organs Also called visceral muscle Stomach Respiratory airways Blood vessels

• Called smooth because has no microscopic stripes

Pathology of Tendons, Muscles, and/or Ligaments

rotator cuff injury

joint capsule of shoulder joint is reinforced by tendons; high degree of flexibility puts rotator cuff at risk for strain and tearing

straindamage to muscle, tendons, or ligaments due to overuse or overstretching

tendinitis inflammation of a tendon

• Fasciitis

Inflammation of fascia• Fibromyalgia

Pain in muscle fibers

fasci/o+ -itis

fibr/o + -algia+ my/o

• Myorrhexis

Rupture of muscle• Polymyositis

Inflammation of many muscles

my/o + -rrhexis

poly- + -itis+ myos/o

Clinical Laboratory Tests

creatine phosphokinase (CPK)

muscle enzyme found in skeletal and cardiac muscle; elevated blood levels indicate muscle damage; seen in muscular dystrophy and heart attack

Muscular System Diagnostic Procedures

deep tendon reflexes (DTR)

muscle contraction in response to stretch; used to determine if muscles are responding properly

electromyogramhardcopy record produced by EMG

electromyography (EMG)

study of strength and quality of muscle contraction in response to electrical stimulation

muscle biopsyremoval of muscle tissue for examination

• Electromyogram

Record of muscle electricity• Electromyography

Process of recording muscle electricity

• Biopsy
