Q

Describe the development of bone.

A

A bone-y collar forms around the cartilage, so no nutrient supply can penetrate and cartilage beings to die. This causes angiogenic signals to be sent out due to lack of blood supply. Blood supply brings osteogenic cells to form more bone. Slide 2

Q

What does the periosteum do?

A

It contains nerve, blood and lymph supply. So when it is teared, results in extreme brain e.g. bone fractures. It supplies nutrients to the medullary cavity through blood vessels that penetrate the hard bone. Slide 4

Q

How does a fracture heal?

A

The callus of immature bone surrounds fracture line, where the callus reassumes normal shape, remodelling it.

Q

There are two major divisions in the skeleton, what are they?

A

Q

How do you separate the viscerocranium and the neurocranium?

A

Draw a line, representing the base of the skull, from just above the eyesockets to just below the ear hole, below the line is the facial skeleton, above is the cranial vault. Slide 10

32
Q

33
Q

Where are the Le Fort Fractures and what are they called?

A

Le Fort I - a line underneath the nasal bone on the maxilla.
Le Fort II - separating the maxilla from the zygoma.
Le Fort III - Separating the neurocranium from the visceralcranium. Slide 15

34
Q

What are the 8 fractures of the mandible?

A

The coronoid process, the mental process, the mental foramen, the body, the lower border of the mandible, the angle, the ramus and the condylar process. Slide 16

35
Q

List the 8 fractures of the mandible anterior to posterior from a lateral POV.

A 
Mental process
Mental foramen
Body
Lower border of mandible
Coronoid process
Angle
Ramus
Conylar process. Slide 16
36
Q

Why does the mandible not push up into the skull when hit?

A

It fractures instead to prevent brain damage. Slide 16

37
Q

A
  1. Slide 17
38
Q

How many cervical vertebrae are there and where are they?

43
Q

Why do vertebrae vary in size?

A

Depending on load. The vertebrae become larger as they bear more weight and shrink when weight is predominantly on hips. Slide 17

Has an odontoid process and projects superiorly from body of vertebrae. Slide 21

58

from ribs 1 - 7, the rib 1 is protected by the clavicle. Slide 22

62
Q

What ribs are included in the false ribs?

A

Ribs 8 - 10 and attach to the costal cartilage margin. Slide 22

63
Q

What ribs are included in the floating ribs?

11 and 12, they are not attached to the sternum. They float freely in abdominal musculature. Slide 22

64
Q

What bones are in the pectoral girdle?

A

2 scapulae and 2 clavicles. NOT THE HUMERUS. Slide 23

65
Q

What bones are in the pelvic girdle?

A

2 hip bones and the sacrum. Slide 23
