Q

Feedback vs feedforward

A

feedback: Responds to a change after it has happened. 2 types
- negative: returns to midline
- positive: accelerates away from midline

Feedforward: Happens when predicting a future change

Q

Long bone anatomy

A
  1. Diaphysis: Long part of the bone
  2. Metaphysis: Flared part of the bone
  3. Epiphysis: Ends of the bone
  4. Epiphyseal plate/line: line between the epiphysis and the metaphysis
  5. Articular cartilage: around the end of the bone reduces friction and shock absorption
  6. medullary cavity (cavity in the middle of bone)
  7. Endosteum: lines the medullary cavity
  8. Periosteum: bilayered butter membrane of the bone

Q

Where is yellow/red bone marrow found and their rolls?

A

Yellow bone marrow: Found in the medullary cavity and stores adipose tissue (fat tissue) for energy storage

Red bone marrow: Found in spongy bone and produced red and white blood cells and platelets

Q

Name the specific veins and arteries that supply the different areas of the bone. 4 types

A
  1. Nutrient artery and vein: Supply the diaphysis
  2. Epiphyseal vein and artery: Supply the epiphysis
  3. Metaphysical artery and vein: supply the metaphysis
  4. Periosteal vein and artery: supply the periosteum

Q

Name the parts of compact bone and their uses

A
  1. Osteons: cylindrical units of compact bone
  2. Concentric lamellae: rings of bone that make up the osteons
  3. Collagen fibres: Make up the concentric lamellae, running in opposite directions as the previous ring to increase strength
  4. Circumferential lamellae: Bone that surrounds the diaphysis
  5. lacunae: gaps in between the osteons. House osteocytes
  6. Canaliculi: small canals that run between lacunae providing nutrient and waste removal
  7. Central canal: canal down the centre of the osteoblasts containing blood vessels and nerves

Q

2 types of bone development and their definitions

A

ossification: specific process of creating new bone
osteogenesis: General term for bone development and maintenance. Ossification is a type of osteogenesis

Q

2 types of ossification

A
  1. Endochondral ossification: Mesenchymal cells develop into cartilage model first, then bone replaces the cartilage. (most bones are made this way)
  2. Intramembranous ossification: Mesenchymal cells differentiate straight into bone (forms flat bones)
17
Q

Intramembranous ossification in depth (layer of spongy bone between 2 layers of compact bone)

A
  1. Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts and secrete osteoid
  2. Osteoid is played around the blood vessels forming trebeculae
  3. Minerals calcify the osteoid into bone
  4. Osteoblasts go to the surface off the cell and create the periosteum
  5. just below the periosteum, spongy bone is remodelled into compact bone
  6. Blood vessels in the spongy bone remodel into red bone marrow
18
Q

explain the process of Endochondral ossification:

A

see page in binder

19
Q

Post natal bone growth 2 ways

A

Interstitial growth: growth in length. Chondrocytes keep dividing and extending the bone then osteoblasts turn them into bone

Appositional growth: Growth in width. Osteoblasts create new layers of compact bone widening it out.

20
Q

Interstitial growth: the growth plate. IMPORTANT (Ask about is calcification what makes bone)

A

Resting zone: Chondrocytes anchor the growth plate to the epiphysis

Prolific zone: Chondrocytes rapidly divide lengthening the bone

Hypertrophic zone: Old chondrocytes increase in size forming the lacunae between them

calcification zone: Old chondrocytes die, opening spaces for blood vessels to enter. The cartilage is calcified

Ossification zone: Osteoclasts remodel the cartilage into bone

21
Q

Appositional growth in depth

A
  1. Osteoblasts on the periosteum form around the blood vessels creating new concentric lamellae, until new osteons are formed
  2. Osteoblasts form new circumferential lamellae
  3. Osteoclasts widen the medullary cavity
22
Q

In adults what kind of bone growth occurs?

A

Only appositional growth. The growth plate is fused into the epiphyseal line, therefor no interstitial growth

23
Q

What affects our peak bone mass?

A
  1. genes
  2. life style (diet, exersize)
24
Q

What hormone is released if calcium is too low and what does it do?

A

Parathyroid hormone: Kidneys re-absorb more calcium. Stimulates osteoclast activity to break down bone for calcium. Synthesized more vitaminD which increases calcium absorption

25
Q

What hormone is released if calcium levels are too high?

A

calcitonin: Osteoclast activity is inhibited (won’t put more calcium into plasma). promotes osteoblast activity. tells kidneys to reduced calcium re absorption

26
Q

What is wolfs law?

A

Bones become thicker and stronger to resist forces and thinner and weaker if their are no faces acting on it
