Muscles
Attaches a muscle to a bone
What is a Tendon
Produce movement and changes in muscle length
Dense connective tissue that covers the ends of long bones and absorbs forces
What is Articular or hyaline cartilage
has greater mineral content than collagen
What is Cortical or Compact
Connects bone to bone
What is a ligament
Contractile proteins on muscle fiber
What is a myofibril
Produces no joint movement and no muscle length change
What is isometric
Permits only flexion and extension around a single axis
What is a Hinge Joint
is higher in collagen content
What is cancellous or spongy bone
Connects muscles to bone
What is a tendon
Surrounds each individual muscle
fiber
What is Endomysium
Produces joint changes by muscle length shortening
What is concentric
Is composed of convex and concave articulating surfaces and allows movement in two planes.
What is a saddle joint
Ribbons of bone that increase its ability to absorb compression
What is bone trabeculae
Fibrous insertion that connects adjacent muscles
What is an aponeurosis
Generates the most force to produce movement
What is the agonist
Produces joint changes by muscle length elongating
Eccentric
Is two flat surfaces that glide on one another, linear movement.
What is a Gliding joint/Planar joint
Found in the shaft of long bones
What is cortical or compact bone
Degeneration of cartilage within a joint
What is Osteoarthritis
Has fibers that are oblique in relation to a central tendon and are capable of producing large forces
The type of contraction occurring in the Biceps muscle when someone is lowering a cup out of an overhead cabinet.
What is eccentric
Refers to the number of axes around which a joint moves
What is Degrees of Freedom
Found within the marrow cavity and along the
ends of long bones
What is cancellous or spongy bone
The connection between two bones
What is a joint
