Cartilage (Articular/Articulating Cartilage)
- Located at both ends of the long bone, allows smooth movement within joints
Cancellous Bone (Begins as Fibrous Membranes) - The "Spongy Bone"
is filled with marrow in its small cavity-like spaces
Osteoblasts release osteoid
into membrane which forms a
sponge-like bundle of fibres
Epiphyseal Plates "Growth Plates" - Located at various locations at the
epiphyses of long bones
Trabeculae -Consists
of bony fibres
arranged in a
strut-like system,
density varies
Diaphysis
Medullary Cavity - Located inside bone shaft (cortex), filled with red marrow
"Hematopoisis" (blood cell formation) and yellow marrow "Adipose" (fat cells
and connective tissue)
Compact Bone
(Begins As Cartilage)
- The dense part of
the bone
responsible for its
structural intergrity
Osteoblasts discharge osteoid into
the deposited minerals to form the
hardened material known as bone
Cortex - Exterior
layer of bone is
dense/smooth and
varying in thickness

Muscular System
Characteristics of Muscles
Contractibility
Conductivity
Muscles Receive
Impulses from...
Neuromuscular Junction
Contains...
The signal causes the
Neurotransmitter
Acetylcholine (ACh) to be
released and received by the
receptors on the Sarcolemma
(surface of muscle fibre)
The detected chemical
results muscle contraction
The Neuromusular
Junction is where the
Sliding Filament
Theory occurs
Sliding
Filament
Theory
Calcium Ions are released into
the sarcoplasm to be used for
Sliding Filament Theory
Fact: Muscles always pull,
never push
Sliding Filament
Theory describes
the overlapping of
myosin and actin
filaments to
achieve contraction
The process
begins when a
signal for action is
sent to a muscle
from the brain
The Sarcolemma is
where Neuromuscular
Junction occurs...
The Signal is processed and sent back
to the muscle through nerves until it
reaches the axions the point of
Neuromuscular Junction
Triggers Calcium influx
Calcium bonds
with Troponin
The bond causes the
Actin to change shape
and the Tropomyosin to
separate from the Actin
leaving room for a
Myosin Crossbridge
Elasticity
Extensibility
Irritablity
Striation
Non-Striated
Muscles
Striated Muscles
3 Types of Muscles
Which Are Named For...
Action/Function of the Muscle
In reference to the "Movement at Joints"
branch, muscles are named after
movements such as "Flexion/Extension"
Direction of the Fibres
In reference to the "Anatomical Planes" branch,
muscles are named after the direction in which
their fibres run such as the Transversus
Abdominus (Transverse Plane)
Location of the Muscle
The Anatomical
Position gives us
the locations at
which the
muslces are
named
For example the
Tibialis Anterior and
Tibialis Posterior were
named after there
location on the body
based of the
Anatomical Posistion
The Anatomical Posistion
Number of Heads/Divisions
For example
the Biceps
Brachii has 2
Heads and the
Triceps Brachii
has 3 heads
Shape of the Muscle
For example the Deltoid (resembles greek letter
Delta) or the Trapezius (resembles a Trapezoid)
Muscle's Point of Attachment
In reference to the "Bone Landmarks"
branch, muscles are named after their point
of attachment such the Sternocleidomastoid
(Sternum + Clavicle + Mastoid Process)
A) Smooth Muscles
Surrounds The Body's
Internal Organs
Esophagus
Stomach
Non-Striated
Muscles
B) Cardiac Muscles
Found Only
In The Heart
C) Skeletal Muscles
Striated Muscles
Anatomy of
Skeletal Muscles
Starting at the Bone the
Muscle Belly is attached
through a Tendon
The outermost layer of
the muscles tissue is
called the Epimysium.
Under the Epimysium lies the Perimysium,
surrounding bundles of large groups of
muscle fibres.
Those groups
of muscle
fibres are
surrounded by
the
Endomysium
Muscle Fibre
Now on a cellular level
the Sarcolemma is the
muscle cell membrane
Inside the
Sarcolemma lies the
Sarcoplasm which is
the cells Cytoplasm
Further inward
we find repeating
structural units
containing
Sarcomeres
Sarcomere
Bundles of stands called
Myofibrils. They are made
up of the protiens
Myosin
Contains
Adenosine
Diphosphate
(ADP) and
Inorganic
Phosphate (PI)
Myosin
Crossbridge
ADP and PI leave the Myosin
causing it to contract and pull
the Actin towards it
(Contracting The Muscle)
The ADP and PI combine to
become Adenosine
Triphosphate (ATP)
This is the
energy/fuel
that drives
the
mechanism
The ATP binds
to the Myosin
again and pulls
it away from
the Actin
The ATP then converts
back into ADP and PI and
the process repeats itself.
This is a diagram of the process of
contraction as described above

Contraction
Types of Muscle
Contraction
C) Isometric (Static)
Ex. Planks, Wall Sits, etc.
B) Eccentric (Lengthening)
Ex. Downward part of
Bench Press
A) Concentric (Shortening)
Ex. Biceps Curl
There are also...
E) Isotonic (Same Weight)
Ex. Squats
D) Isokinetic (Same Speed)
Ex. Stationary Bike
These
characteristics are
essential during
exercise... and to
exercise muscle
contraction is
necessary
Contact through the
actions conducted
during Sliding
Filament Theory
When muscles are contacted too
much and over-stressed they
transfer impact to bone
Calcium is the
trigger for muscle
contraction
Contraction is
triggered in 2
ways
Conscious
Effort
Reflexes
There are 3 Types of
Neurons in the Body
Sensory
Neurons
detect/sense
information
from the
outside world,
such as light,
sound, touch,
and heat
Motor Neurons send signals away from the Central Nervous System
and elicit a response, for example movement of the arms or legs
Interneurons form interconnections
between other neurons in the Central
Nervous System.
Neurons transmit information to each other through
a series of connections that form a circuit
An example of that
kind of circuit is the...
The Reflex Arc
It allows organisms to respond
rapidly to inputs from sensory
neurons
The 5 Parts To The Reflex Arc
2. The Sensory Nerve (Afferent) - Carries The Impulse
to the Spinal Column of Brain
3. The Intermediate Nerve Fibre (Adjuster/Interneuron)
- Interprets signal and issues an appropriate response
1. The Receptor - Receives the initial stimulus
4. The Motor Nerve (Efferent) - Carries he response
message from spinal cord to muscle/organ
5. The Effector Organ Itself (Skeletal Muscle)
- Carries out the response
Muscle Spindles
Stretch Reflex
Sensory receptors
within a muscle fibre
the primarily detect
changes in the length
of the muscle
Golgi Tendon Organs
Tension Reflex
Sensory receptors found at the end of muscle
fibres that merge into the tendon itself and
that detect changes in musical tension
Can connect to bones
Indirectly (through
Tendons/Ligaments) or
Directy (Membranes)
Tendons and
Ligaments
There are
between 640 to
850 muscles in
the Human Body

Single motor unit in the
Quadriceps may
stimulate 300 to 800
muscle fibres
Force
All motor units must be
recruited at the same time
All-or-none Principle
When a motor
unit is
stimulated to
contract, it will
do so to its
fullest potential
- Muscle Twitch -
A single nervous
impulse and the
resulting
contraction
Injuries and Disease
The Body can experience
many forms of
stress/damage
Joint Related Problems

cartilage during
sports and other
vigorous activities

Bone Related Problems
Fractures/Breaks
- Compound Fractures -
Breaks into separate pieces
(often breaches skin)
DIAGRAM
- Comminuted Fractures
- Broken ends of bone
are shattered into many
pieces

No Separation of
bone into parts, but a
break/crack is
detecatable

- Osteoporosis -
A disease
characterized
by low bone
mass and bone
deterioration
Leads to fractures in
Hip, Spine, and Wrist
- Preventing Osteoporosis -
*A balanced diet rich in
calcium and vitamin D
*Weight-bearing exercise
*A healthy lifestyle (no
smoking, drinking, etc.)
Leads to fractures in
Hip, Spine, and Wrist
Shin Splints and Stress Fractures
Stress fractures are tiny
cracks in bone caused by
over use/stress of muscles
Shin Splints result of
overuse without
adequate time for
recovery
Shin Splints refer to pain of

occur during the motion of throwing
improperly

to help with soft-tissue
injuries
Lasts 5-7 Days
Strains & Tears
2nd Degree -Require physiotherapy treatment once diagnosed by a doctor
3rd Degree - Require surgery and rehabilitation (6-12 months)
1st Degree - Slight
swelling and bruising,
pain felt on the end of
full range of motion

Inflammation of a
tendon caused by
irritation due to
prolonged or
abnormal use
An example of this is...
Tennis Elbow &
Golfers Elbow
Torn tendons on
the Lateral and
Medial sides of
the Elbow
Symptoms:
Pain/tenderness on the
tendon near/around the
joint, stiffness/pain in
the tendon (restricting
movement), a strong
pulling/sharp pain when
moving a joint, and on
occasion, mild swelling,
numbness, or a tingling
sensation at the joint
Preventing: Resting, avoiding movement,
protect area with splints, slings, or casts,
apply ice, take oral medication, and take
physical therapy
