Q

what is the difference between the two types of bone and why

A

density and it is due to the porosity
compact = 5-30%
trabecular = 30-90%

25
Q

where is the osteon observed

A

in the compact bone

26
Q

where is the osteon found in the bone

A

along the long axis shaft or diaphyses of long bones

27
Q

what does the osteon consist of

A

bone matrix laid down in concentric layers called lamellae

28
Q

what does the lamellae surround

A

a central haversian canal (Hc)

29
Q

purpose of Hc

A

contains the blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics

30
Q

where are the osteocytes in relation to the Hc

A

arranged in a concentric ring around the central Hc

31
Q

how are the osteocytes connected to the Hc

A

via canaliculi and acts as a mechanotransducer

32
Q

what is the shaft of a bone called

A

the diaphysis

33
Q

what is the rounded end of a long bone

A

the epiphysis

34
Q

what is the episphysis filled with

A

red bone marrow which produces red blood cells

35
Q

what is the region between the diaphysis and epiphysis

A

metaphysis

36
Q

what is the role of the metaphysis

A

part of the bone that is growing during childhood

37
Q

what is the growth plate

A

the epiphyseal line located in the metaphysis

38
Q

what would happen if there was a fracture through the growth plate

A

normal growth resumes

39
Q

what would happen if there was a fracture through the growth plate and the metaphysis

A

normal growth would resume

40
Q

what would happen if there was a fracture through the growth plate and epiphysis

A

possible growth disturbances

41
Q

what would happen if there was a fracture through the growth plate and epiphysis and metaphysis

A

possible growth arrest

42
Q

compression fracture of the growth plate

A

bad, high chance of growth arrest

43
Q

growth homoneq

A

stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 = promotes chondroycte proliferation in GP
High impact of bone growth

44
Q

IGF-1

A

directly promotes chondrocyte proliferation in GP, crucial for bone elongation

45
Q

estrogen and testosterone

A

estrogen is crucial for growth spurt and eventual closure of growth plate, while testosterone promotes gbone growth and maturation

46
Q

PTh

A

influeces bone remodeling and mineralization (indirect affect)

47
Q

T3/4

A

regulates maturation, essential for normal development and bone growth

48
Q

two types of ossification

A

intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification

49
Q

what is intramembranous ossification

A

direct ossification of embryonic connective tissue (bones of skull)

50
Q

what is endochondral ossification

A

ossification of hyaline cartilage
- cartilage mineralization around hypertrophic chondrytes
- blood vessels then penetrate, causing the mineralized carilage to be resorbed causing growth

51
Q

what is the secondary ossification centre

A

epiphysis
- we see the formation of articular cartilage and epiphysal plate

52
Q

do males or females have greater bone development/maturation after age 12

A

males

53
Q

90% of bone mass is accounted for at age __

A

19

54
Q

as we are hitting the growth spurt ages there is a ___ in stiffness due to ___ in length while area remains

A

decrease, increase

55
Q

bone mineralization _____ peak height velocity growth

A

lags behind
- this increases injury risk

56
Q

this rapid change causes

A

motor control and coordination decreases as there is a change in COM of the limbs increasing the risk of injury temporarily
increases in nutrition
overuse injuries as there is an increase in stress of growing bones and joints

57
Q

what do viscoelastic tissues exhibit

A

stress relaxation
creep
strain rate dependecy
hysterisis
anisotropy

58
Q

what contributes to the porosity of a bone

A

Hc
lacunae and canaliculi
pathologies (tumor, infection, etc)

59
Q

in cancellous bone trabeculae form along

A

the aces of loads (remodelling)

60
Q
A
