Skeletal Muscle
• Organization of the sarcomere
• Thick filaments = Myosin filaments
• Composed of the protein myosin
• Has ATPase enzymes
Microscopic Anatomy
of Skeletal Muscle
• Myosin consists of
• Tail
• Hinge
• Heads
• contain active sites for Actin &
ATP
• M-line
• stabilize the myosin filaments
• aid in transmission of force from
sarcomere to cytoskeletal
intermediate filaments
Microscopic Anatomy
of Skeletal Muscle
• Thin filaments are composed of
• G-actin molecules in a helical
arrangement
• Contain myosin binding sites

molecules) attached to tropomyosin

Articulations and
Movement
• Plane/Gliding Joint
• Saddle Joint
6 Types of Synovial Joints
• Hinge Joint
• Pivot Joint
• Ball and Socket Joint
• Condyloid/ellipsoid Joint
3 Movements at Synovial Joints
• Uniaxial
– Occur around ONE AXIS
• Biaxial
– Occur around TWO AXES
situated at right angles to each
other
• Multiaxial
– SEVERAL AXES
8-49
Plane/Gliding Joints
• Uniaxial/monoaxial
• allow flexion and extension
through a slight gliding motion
• Ex:
– between the ends of small bones
such as hands and feet
– Articular process between
vertebrae
Pivot Joint
• Uniaxial/monoaxial
• allow only rotation
– the end of one bone having a “peg” which
fits into a “ring” formed by the other bone
• top of the spinal column
– between the axis and atlas bones
of the neck
• This allows us to turn, raise and lower
our heads
• Head of the radius and proximal end
of ulna
Saddle Joints
• biaxial
• allow the movement of the
joint
– forward and backwards
– right to left
• Examples
– Carpometacarpal joint of
thumb
Hinge Joints
• Uniaxial/monoaxial
• allow extensive flexion and Elbow and Knee Joints
extension (Bending and
straightening)
– with only a small amount of
rotation
Ball and Socket Joints
• multiaxial
• allows the greatest range of
movement
– one end of the bone is shaped Two main Ball and Socket Joints:
like a ball, and it fits into a
Shoulder and hip joints
hollow socket at the end of
another joint
– Held together by ligaments and
tendons
Ellipsoid/Condyloid Joints
• Biaxial
– (almost like a hinge joint)
• Modified ball-and-socket
• Example
– Condyloid joint in the wrist
– Atlantooccipital joint
Types of Movement
• Gliding • Special
– Limited movement in all – Elevation & depression
direction – Protraction & Retraction
• Angular – Excursion
– Opposition & Reposition
– Flexion and Extension
– Inversion & Eversion
• Hyperextension
• Plantar and Dorsiflexion • Combination
– Abduction and Adduction
• Circular
– Rotation
– Pronation and Supination
– Circumduction

Dorsiflexion Plantarflexion (or plantar flexion)
-decreases the angle between the dorsum -increases the approximate 90
(superior surface) of the foot and the leg degree angle between the front part
-toes are brought closer to the shin of the foot and the shin
-upward movement of the foot at the ankle -as when pressing down on a car
joint pedal
Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion

• Hyperextension
– Abnormal forced extension of a
joint beyond its normal range of
motion

Adduction Abduction

midline of the body midline of the body

Rotation • Turning of a structure along its
long axis
• Ex.
– Rotating the head of humerus
or entire body

Pronation and Supination
Supination Pronation
-The opposite of pronation - A rotation of the forearm
-the rotation of the forearm so that the - Moves the palm from an anterior-
palm faces anteriorly, or palm facing up facing position to a posterior-
facing position, or palm facing
down
-The hand is supine (facing anteriorly) in - NOT medial rotation
the anatomical position - MUST be performed when the
arm is half flexed
Circumduction
• Combination of flexion,
extension, abduction and
adduction
• Occurs at freely movable joints
8-70
IV-Special Movements
8-71
Elevation and Depression
• Elevation
– Moves the structure
superiorly
• Depression
– Moves the structure
inferiorly
8-72
Protraction and Retraction
• Protraction
– Gliding motion
– Moves the structure in
ANTERIOR direction
• Retraction
– Moves the structure back to
its anatomical position or
even more posteriorly
8-73
Protraction and Retraction

Excursion
• Lateral excursion
– Moving the mandible
either left or right
– As in chewing
• Medial excursion
– Returns the mandible
to midline position
8-75
Opposition and Reposition
• Opposition
– Movement of thumb and
little finger
– These two digits are
brought toward each other
across the palm of hand
• Reposition
– Returns the thumb and little
finger to neutral, anatomical
position
8-76
Inversion and Eversion
• Inversion
– Turns the ankle
– Plantar surface of the
foot faces MEDIALLY
• Eversion
– Turns the ankle
– Plantar surface faces
LATERALLY
