Cards

Term
Composition of Cartilage
Definition

Solid Matrix of

collagen & Proteoglycans = 20-40%

 

Water = 60-80%

Term
Types of Cartilage
Definition

Elastic (yellow) - ie: ear

 

Fibro (white) - ie: IV disc, labrum, pubic symphysis, menicus

 

Hyaline (articular) - ie: articulating surfaces of synovial jts

Term
Types of bone
Definition

Cancellous (trabeculae/spongy) - inner layer

 

Compact - outter layer

Term
Composition of bone
Definition

organic material = 35%

Water = 20%

Minerals = 45%

Term
Stress = ??
Definition
Stress  = Force or load per unit area
Term
True or False: All CT have property of viscoelasticity?
Definition
TRUE
Term
Viscosity
Definition

ability to dampen shearing forces

 

increase force and rate of stretch =

increase viscosity

Term
Elasticity
Definition
Return to normal shape after stress is removed
Term
Types of Stress
Definition

Tension - Pulling apart

 

Compression - pushing together

 

Shear - Stress across

 

combination - bending or torsion (rotary force)

Term

Stress-Strain Curve

 

Toe Region

Definition
1st

min force produces a lot of deformation
Term

Stress-Strain Curve

 

Elastic Region

Definition
2nd

Deformation is not permanent - structure will return to normal
Term

Stress-Strain Curve

 

Yield point

Definition
Based on angle and tissue structure

tissue will no longer returnn to normal - some deformation
Term

Stress-Strain Curve

 

Plastic Region

Definition
permanent deformation but still intact
Term

Stress-Strain Curve

 

Failure

Definition
gone too far

plastic range exceeded

tendons/ligaments will rupture, usually in the middle or avulsion
Term

Stress-Strain Curve

 

Slope of elastic region =

Definition
stiffness
Term
types of connective tissue include:
Definition
bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels
Term
connective tissue is composed of:
Definition
fibers, cells, and interfibrillar-hydrated networks of proteins
Term
connective tissue fibers include (3 types)
Definition
collagen types I and II, and elastin
Term
proteins found in connective tissue include (2 types)
Definition
glycoproteins (carbs+proteins) and proteoglycans (subset of glycoproteins)
Term
collagen type I
Definition
make up ligaments, tendons, menisci and joint capsules; they're strong and capable of load bearing
Term
collagen type II
Definition
make up articular cartilages and the nucleus of IV discs
Term
elastin
Definition
capable of stretching and returning to its original formation
Term
ligaments
Definition
small amount of cells, large amount of extracellular matrix
Term
CT that makes up ligaments
Definition
mostly collagen type I; arranged in direction of tensile force (this allows for mobility and stability)
Term
CT that mostly makes up tendons
Definition
mostly type I collagen which is adapted to larger tensile forces
Term
functions of cartilage (3)
Definition
distribute load evenly over surface, provide shock absorption, reduce friction
Term
Hip Joint Pathology:

Fracture
Definition
Due to boney failure of femoral neck
Term
Hip Joint Pathology:

Osteoarthritis
Definition
-Deterioration of the joints articular cartilage

-leads to decreased ability to dissipate load
Term
Thomas test
Definition
A test used to assess hip flexor length. Patient lays flat on plinth, brings knees to chest, then lets one leg down to plinth. If the leg does not go all the way down to the plinth the Thomas test is positive - there is some hip flexor contracture
Term
Ober test
Definition
Test used to assess ITB length/ITB contracture. Patient lays on unaffected side, flexes knee and abducts leg. If the patient cannot adduct leg back toward the other leg then the ober test is positive for ITB contracture.
Term
Which muscles are involved in hip flexion?
Definition
1) Iliopsoas
2) Sartorius
3) Tensor Fascia Latae
4) Rectus Femoris
5) Pectineus
6) Adductor Longus
Term
Which muscles are involved in adducting the leg?
Definition
1) Pectineus
2) Adductor Longus
3) Adductor Brevis
4) Adductor Magnus
5) Gracilis

*Adductors produce torque in all planes
