Joint/Cartilage
The major collagen type found in articular cartilage.
Type II collagen
Sensation to the thumb is primarily supplied by this dermatome.
C6
What percentage of your body weight is leg?
18%
The percentage deformation of a tissue relative to its original length.
strain
Three single and three paired cartilages make up this structure
larynx
Approximately this percentage of articular cartilage by weight is water.
70-85%
This dermatome corresponds to the anterior thigh.
L2
This class of lever has the fulcrum located between the effort force and the resistance force.
first-class lever
A force applied perpendicular away from a tissue surface.
tensile load
A patient develops hoarseness after thyroid surgery due to injury of this nerve supplying most intrinsic laryngeal muscles.
recurrent laryngeal nerve
Articular cartilage increases this, allowing forces to be distributed more evenly across a joint.
surface contact area
A patient reports sensory loss over the middle finger. This spinal nerve root should be suspected.
C7
Most muscles in the human body operate through this class of lever.
third-class lever
The region in which tissue returns completely to its original length when the load is removed.
elastic region
This group of muscles elevates the hyoid and larynx during swallowing.
suprahyoid muscles
These three types of forces commonly act on articular cartilage.
compression, tension, and shear
Sensory loss over the lateral foot combined with difficulty performing heel raises suggests involvement of this nerve root.
L1
Standing on your toes during a heel raise is an example of this class of lever.
second-class lever
The point at which the tissue can no longer withstand the load and ruptures.
complete failure
This ligament connects the larynx to the trachea inferiorly
cricotracheal ligament
The mechanical stiffness of cartilage increases when these negatively charged molecules are pushed closer together.
proteoglycans (aggrecans)
A patient reports numbness at the lateral shoulder and weakness of shoulder abduction. This nerve root is most likely involved.
C5
A therapist shortens the resistance arm during exercise to reduce the demand on the muscle. One way to accomplish this is by doing this.
moving the weight closer to the joint axis
Connective tissues whose stress-strain behavior changes with time are described as this.
viscoelastic
These folds are located inferior to the false vocal folds and are responsible for phonation
true vocal folds
