Microscopic Structure
Macroscopic Structure
Frontal longitudinal section through the head neck, great trochanter, and
proximal shaft of the adult femur. Cancellous bone, with the trabeculae
oriented in a lattice, lies within the shell of cortical bone. (From 13th
American Ed. Of Anatomy of the Human Body, Philadelphia, 1985.)

Tendons
Attach muscles to the bones and transmit
tensile loads from muscles to bone,
thereby producing joint motion.
The tendon enables the muscle to act at a
mechanically optimal point that can be
very distant from the actual muscle body

Tensile Properties
Ligaments
To attach articulating bones to one
another across a joint
To guide joint movement
To maintain joint congruency

Motor units
SIZE
The smallest motor units are in muscles that
must produce very fine gradations of force (e.g.,
lumbricals - 100 fib/unit, eye muscles - 5 fib/unit).
SIZE PRINCIPLE
MOTORNEURON /
MUSCLE FIBERS
Small diameter
motorneurons innervate
slow oxidative fibers.
Intermediate sized
motorneurons innervate
fast oxidative/glycolitic
fibers
Large diameter
motorneurons innervate
fast glycolitic fibers.
SIZE PRINCIPLE
Small diameter motorneurons
are more easily excited
compared with the large
diameter motorneurons.
Therefore:
1. Slow oxidative motor units
are recruited by relatively low
level of excitatory synaptic
input.
2. Fast glycolitic motor units
are recruited by high levels of
excitatory synaptic input.

The major division of the central nervous system. The top portion is a cerebral
hemisphere. The parts are: cerebral hemispheres, diencephalon, midbrain, pons,
medulla and spinal cord.
