Defie ligaet ad tedo
Describe the three types of cartilage and their function.
Describe the general features of fibrous and cartilaginous joints with examples of each.
Describe the general features of a synovial joint.

the types of movement they produce.
Discuss the factors involved in joint stability.
Types of Joints:
Solid joints
o Immovable
o No cavity between bones
o Joined by connective tissue
Synovial joint
o Freely moving
o Articular cavity
LEARNING OBJECTIVES - MUSCLES
Identify and distinguish between the three types of muscle tissue.
Describe the structure of skeletal muscle.
Name the common patterns of muscle fascicle arrangement
and give examples of each.
Define innervation, and describe how nerves are formed
Define the terms origin, insertion, agonist (prime mover), antagonist and synergist.
Types of Muscle
Skeletal muscle: attaches to and covers the skeleton
o Striated (long muscle cells)
o Voluntary actions (conscious control)
o Rapid contractions, easily fatigued
Cardiac muscle: only exists in heart
o Striated
o Involuntary
Smooth muscle: present in the walls of hollow organs (i.e stomach, intestines, trachea)
o Non-striated
o Involuntary
o Slow and sustained contractions
Structure of Skeletal Muscle
Muscle
o Individual muscle cells, blood vessels, nerves
o Wrapped in epimysium
