Arthrology

What you need to know:
- Joint Capsule : SURROUNDS the Joint Cavity and RETAINS the Synovial Fluid.
- Fibrous Capsule : The OUTER/EXTERNAL component.
- Synovial Membrane : the INNER/INTERNAL component
- Synovial Fluid : The fluid that acts as a LUBRICANT; Offers NUTRIENTS to articular cartilage ; Remove the WASTE



- Joint Cavity : Narrow SPACE
- Articular Cartilage : Covers the FACING SURFACES of bones
- Reduces BONE on BONE grinding
- Hyaline Cartilage

-Articular Disc: Cushion PAD across ENTIRE joint cavity.
- Fibrocartilage

- Menisci : Articular Discs that do NOT cross ENTIRELY across.
- Fibrocartilage

​

General Anatomy of Synovial Joints

What you need to know:

- Tendons : Attaches a MUSCLE to BONE.
- Ligaments : Attaches BONE to BONE.
- Bursae : Sac filled with SYNOVIAL fluid; Helps tendons SLIDE more EASILY over JOINTS.

Six classification of synovial joints

Multiple Choice

The elbow joint when flexed moves only within one plane, the sagittal plane. Which type of synovial joint could it be?

• Saddle

• Hinge

• Ball-n-Socket

• Condylar

Multiple Choice

The first carpometacarpal joint is classified as a saddle joint. what class of joint would this fall under?

• Monoaxial

​What you need to know:
1) NAME/ID the joint
2) CLASSIFY the joint
3) ID the joint component
4) Name the MAJOR/BROAD classification
- Not very common but still seen.

Ch. 10 Muscle Cells

• Most of these terms are in skeletal muscle cells.

What you need to know: Largest to Smallest
- Muscle : Composed of fascicles
- Fascicle : Bundle of myofibers;
- Enclosed in fibrous perimysium
- Myofiber : A single muscle cell; densely packed bundle of myofibrils.
- Myofibril : Bundle of proteins.
- Fill MOST of the sarcoplasm.
-Sarcomere : a SEGMENT of myofibril; Functional contractile subunit.
- Z disc to Z disc
- Myofilaments will SLIDE over each other.

What you need to know:
- Sarcolemma : the plasma membrane

What you need to know:
- Axon Terminal : Nerve ending swelling
- Synaptic Vesicle - Filled with acetylcholine
- Acetylcholine : chemical neurotransmitter
- Synaptic Cleft : Narrow space between nerve and muscle.
- Post Synaptic Membrane folds - Increase surface area.

Neuromuscular Junction

Multiple Choice

What is the chemical neurotransmitter that is secreted in the synaptic cleft?
