Bone Growth/Articulations Flashcards
Building blocks of bone
calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, collagen, water
Cortical bone
compact, strong and dense, not much space between cells
Cancellous bone
spongy
Axial Skeleton
skull, vertebral column, ribs, sacrum, pelvis
Appendicular skeleton
appendages/limbs
2 types of ways bone grows
circumferential (circumference), longitudinal (longways)
Factors affecting bone development
Physical stress, nutrition, overuse, injuries/fractures
immoveable joints
bones of the skull (sutures)
Slightly moveable
two bones with fibrocartilage in between (pubic symphysis, vertebrae)
Freely moving
synovial joints
Types of synovial joints
hinge, pivot, ball and socket, gliding, saddle, condyloid
Hinge
uniaxial, allows flexion/extension (elbow)
Pivot Joint
uniaxial, one bone rotating around a fixed bone (C1/C2, radioulnar joint)
Ball and Socket
triaxial, allows movement in three plane of motion (acetabulofemoral, glenohumeral)
Gliding
plane joints, can be bi or triaxial slide along each other (tarsal joints)
Saddle
similar to ball and socket, biaxial, allow flexion/extension and abduction/adduction)
Condyloid
egg shaped bone (condyle) that fits into a similarly shaped bone (radiocarpal joint, biaxial)
Articular cartilage
reduces friction between two bones and protect underlying bone
Joint Capsule
isolates and covers entire joint, outer layer is fibrous connective tissue, underlying is synovial membrane
Joint Cavity
allows bones to move smoothly and help mobility, filled with synovial fluid
Synovial Fluid
helps get nutrients into the joint
Ligaments
helps give support to joint (stability)intra and extracapsular
