Q

what are fonatelles? why do they exist?

A

Babies have much wider/expansive sutures: fonatelles

- anterior fontanelle found between two parts of frontal bone.

  • this helps with post-natal growth of the skull and allows the brain to grow/expand, and also helps head deformity during birth. Can measure intercranial pressure, will bulge if pressure in skull has increased

Q

Hip stability is due to: ? [7]

A
  1. Deep insertion of femoral head into acetabulum
  2. Strong tight articular capsule, this is loose in shoulder. Attaches to greater trochanter and neck of the femur, so is a very tight fit. Gives stability yet also restricts movement
  3. Ligaments around the joint capsule (especially anteriorly) which will help stabilise the hip joint in extension (the anterior ligaments).
  4. Large powerful muscles around joint: single, individual most powerful muscle in the body is the gluteus maximus, and the most powerful group of muscles (quadriceps) all work to stabilise the hip joint
  5. Ligament within articular capsule, ligamentum teres. This attaches the head of the femur to the acetabulum and acts as like a tether. Can also be called ‘ligament of the head of the femur’.
  6. Fat pad fills central region and adds cushioning for thinnest part of acetabulum. Also helps to keep these two bones together
  7. Acetabulur labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring that helps with suction of the femur into the acetabulum. Doesn’t really add to the surface area, 10%, but acts with the synovial fluid to suction the head of the femur into the acetabulum

Q

which cells make hyaluronic acid for synovial fluid? [1]

A

which cells make hyaluronic acid for synovial fluid? [1]
type B synoviocytes

38
Q

what are synoviocytes? - what do they produce?
what are the two types?
which is more?

how do the synoviocytes sit on subintima?

A

The synovial intimal cells, termed synoviocytes, are believed to be responsible for the production of synovial fluid components, for absorption from the joint cavity, and for blood/synovial fluid exchanges,

1-3 cell layer

•Type A: bone marrow derived macrophage for immune surveillance

•Type B: fibroblast-like connective tissue cell for proteoglycan production - more than type A

no barrier between synoviocytes & subintima !! - no basement membrane = no barrier for fluid movement !!!

39
