18
Q

learn the bones of the orbit

A
19
Q

what is a blowout fracture?

A

where the eyeball swells as a result of pressure causing the inferior rectus of the orbit to fracture

20
Q

what is the sphenoid bone?

A

the ‘keystone’ of the cranial floor by articulating with all other bones to hold them together

21
Q

in the sphenoid bone, what do the greater and lesser wings form?

A

greater form part of the cranial floor and lateral wall of the skull
lesser form part of the cranial floor and posterior part of the orbit

22
Q

what does the lacrimal bone contain?

A

the lacrimal sac as it forms part of the medial wall

23
Q

what is the ethmoid bone?

A

a major supporting structure of the nasal cavity. forms part of the medial orbital wall

24
Q

what do zygomatic bones do?

A

form the prominence of the cheek, part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit

25
Q

what do the maxilla bones make up?

A

part of the floors of the orbits and part of the nasal cavity

26
Q

what do the mandible bones form?

A

the jaw

26
Q

what are vomer bones?

A

components of the nasal septum on the floor of the nasal cavity

26
Q

what are the three earbones?

A

the malleus, incus and stapes

26
Q

what percentage of the human weight does bone make up?

A

20%

26
Q

give examples of:
long bones
flat or tabular bones
blocky and irregular bones

A

-limbs
-cranium, shoulder, pelvis and ribcage
-ankle, wrist, spine

26
Q

what are the two main parts that make up long bones?

A

the tube - diaphysis and the expanded ends - epiphysis

27
Q

give the substructures of bone

A

-cortical bone
-trabecular/ cancellous spongy bone

28
Q

what is the medullary cavity? how much % of body weight does it make up?

A

bone marrow in long bone, produces new blood cells and makes up 4% of total body weight

29
Q

what intracellular materials make up the bone microstructure and what are the percentages?

A

-water 25%
-protein fibres 25%
-crystallised materials 50%

30
Q

what are the four types of cells that are present in bone tissue?

A

-osteogenic cells
-osteoblasts
-osteocytes
-osteoclasts

31
Q

what is the function of osteoblasts?

A

to synthesise and secret collagen and organic components of the matrix and initiate calcification

31
Q

what do osteoclasts do?

A

release acids and enzymes to digest tissue

31
Q

what are osteocytes and what do they do?

A

they are derived from osteoblasts that are no longer synthesising collagen, star shaped networked via canaliculi which are used for exchange of nutrients and waste

32
Q

how does collagen occur in the bone?

A

as a naturally occuring form of calcium apatite

32
Q

what causes osteoporosis?

A
  1. hormones regulate Ca2+ movement between bone, kidney and intestine
  2. this causes hormone problems such as post menopause in women
  3. bone re-absorption exceeds bone deposition
32
Q

what two types of bone have the same microstructure

A

trabecular bone is the same as cortical bone

33
Q

what tissue is bone covered by?

A

endo and periostea osteogenic tissues, dense irregular connective tissue

34
Q

what does process mean?

A

a relatively large projection or prominent bump

35
Q
A
