Bones Flashcards
Composition of bones
- 1/3 ct (collagen fibre)
- 2/3 calcium and phosphate salts
Calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate
What substance dissolves when put in acid
Calcium hydroxy apatite ca10(po4)6(oh)2
After dissolving bone becomes bendable
What makes bone a living tissue
1.highly vascular
2. highly regenerative next to blood
Functions of bones 6 points
- Structure
- Provides site for attachment
- Acts as levers
- Bone marrow- blood cells prod
- Bone marrow had reticulo endothelial cells - phagocytic
- Stores 97 % of ca and p
Long bone types and eg.
1) typical long bone- 2 epiphysis
Bones of limbs
2. Miniature long / short long bones
-1 epiphysis
Metacarpal metatarsal phalanges
3. Modified long bone- no medulary cavity
Clavicle
Characters in long bone (nut. Foramen etc
- Nutrient foramen is directed away from growing end
- Has medullary cavity
Short bones eg. and characteristics
Cuboid/ scaphoid
Pierced by blood vessels
Eg carpals tarsals
Flat bones eg
Bones in vault of brain
Scapula
Ribs
Sternum
Irregular bones
Hip bones
Sphenoid
C1 C2 of vertebrae
Pneumatic bones func and characters
Have large air cavities and lined by epithelium
Make bones
1)light
2) act as air conditioner
3) resonance of voice
Pnuematic bones eg.
Spenoid ethmoid maxilla
What are sesmoid bones
Bony nodules in tendons and joint capsule
Characters of sesmoid bones 6 points
1) covered by hyaline cartillage
2) lubricated by bursa ( synovial fluid)
3) no periosteum
4) no medullary cavity
5) no haversian system
6) ossify after birth
Examples of sesmoid bone
1) riders bone
2) patella
3) pisiform
4) flabella
Function of sesmoid bones 4 points
1) resist pressure
2) minimise friction
3) alter course of direction
4) protect bv and nerves
Accesory bones characters
Not present in all individuals
Due to ununited epiphysis fron additional ossification center
Eg of accesory bones
1) Sutural/ wormin bones - common in hydrocepahlic skulls
2) cervical ribs
3) lumbar ribs
Bones classified on developmental basis
1) chondral or membranous
2) somatic and viseral
Membranous bones characteristic and eg
Intramembranous ossification
1) develop from mesenchyme
parital frontal maxilla
Cartilaginous bones characteristic eg
Intracartilagenous/ endochondral ossificatiob
All bones of limbs
Menbrano cartilagenous bones
Eg: clavicle
Sternal end cartilagenous oss
Rest is membranous oss.
Mandible occipital shenoid
Somatic bones eg
Most bones are somatic
Visceral bones
Develop from pharyngeal arch
1) hyoid
2) ear ossicles
3) part of mandible
Compact bone characters
1) ivory texture
2) highly porus
3) adapted to bending and twisting forces
Cancellous bone characters
1) made of traberculae
2) spaces filled with rbm
3) addaptaion to compressive forces
Wolffs law/ trajectory theory of wolffs 2 points
It states that formation of bone is directly proportional to stress and strain
This law states how traberculae are arranged
Types of lamella according to trajectory theory
1) pressure/ conpression lamella
2) tension lamella
Compression lamella characters 3 points
1)parallel to weight of body
2) also works against shear stress
3) compact lamella forms biny butress aka calcar femorale
Tension lamella 2points
1) works against bending forces
2) perpendicular to compression lamella
Lamellar bone characters and types
Has thin plates of bone tissue
1) cancellous bone- branching circular lamella
2) compact bone- concentric lamella haversian system
