What is included in the Musculoskeletal System?
Bone, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursa
What is the function of the Musculoskeletal System?
supports you and helps you move
What are bones made of?
Bone cells (osteoclast, osteoblasts, osteocyte, osteoprogenitor), protein matrix,
mineral deposits and (yellow and red bone marrow)
Types of bones?
long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones
What are some factors that affect bone formation?
Age, deformities, genetics, decreased bone formation: estrogen, androgen,
deficiency, vitamin deficiency, starvation, diabetes, steroids, inactivity, heparin,
excess parathyroid hormone
jaw bone and temporal bone connection joint
Temporomandibular joint
33 vertebrae stacked in a vertical column. We use them to landmark during
assessments.
Spine
How many vertebrae are there in each section of the spine?
There are 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 3-4 coccygeal
vertebrae.
are elastic, fibrocartilaginous plates that make up one quarter of the length of

Types of subjective data for joints
pain, stiffness, swelling, heat, and redness, limitations of movement
• Any problems with your joints? Any pain?
• Location: Which joints? On one side or both sides?
• Quality: What does the pain feel like: aching, stiff, sharp or dull, shooting?
Severity: How strong is the pain?
• Onset: When did this pain start?
• Timing: What time of day does the pain occur? How long does it last? How
often does it occur?
• Is the pain aggravated by movement, rest, position, weather? Is the pain
