Q

What is a long bone and give an example

A

It’s longer than it is wide e.g. humerus

20
Q

What is flat bone and give an example

A

It’s for protection or muscle attachment e.g. sternum

21
Q

What is irregular bone and give an example

A

Anything that doesn’t fit into the other categories of bone.g. vertebra

22
Q

What is a sesamoid bone and give an example

A

It’s an independent bone developed in the tendon where it passes over a sharp corner, normally in the hands or feet e.g. patella

23
Q

What does mature bone consist of?

A

Compact and spongy bone

24
Q

How can you tell the difference between spongy and compact bone?

A

Spongey bone isn’t as solid and is a network of open rods

25
Q

What’s the difference between endochondral and intramembranous ossification?

A

Endochondral uses a cartilage intermediate this forms long bones while intramembranous forms flat bones

26
Q

What is fascia?

A

Connective tissue framework of the body

27
Q

What is superficial fascia between?

A

Between skin and deep fascia/bones

28
Q

What is deep fascia?

A

Surrounds and interconnects organs and muscles

29
Q

What is subserous fascia?

A

Between serous membranes and deep fascia made of loose connective tissue

30
Q

What are examples of deep fascia?

A

Capsules, tendons and ligaments

31
Q

What is superficial fascia also know as?

A

The hypodermis

32
Q

What is the superficial fascia composed of?

A

33
Q

What is the superficial fascia underneath?

A

Dermis

34
Q

A

Deep

39
Q

What are the 4 functions of deep fascia?

A

Conduction
Allows muscles to move
Attaches muscles
Capsulizes organs and glands

40
Q

What does conduction mean?

A

The pathways allowing nerves, veins and arteries to travel through fascia

41
Q

Give an example of the deep fascia acting as an attachment

A

Temporalis

42
Q

Name the 3 serous membranes

A

Pleura, pericardium and peritoneum

43
Q

What are serous membranes composed of?

A

Mesothelium and loose connective tissue

44
Q

Describe the 2 layers of serous membranes

A

The inner touches the organ while the outer is anchored to the body wall

45
Q

What prevents the lumen of the lymph from collapsing?
