Q

What is Intramembranous Ossification?

A

The development of bone from within a membrane

38
Q

What bones does intramembranous ossification form?

A

Flat bones of the skull, clavicle and mandible

39
Q

Describe the process of intramembranous ossification

A
  1. Mesenchymal stem cells cluster and differentiate to form osteogenic cells which whn firther differentiate into osteoblasts
  2. Forms ossification center
  3. Osteoblasts start to secrete Osteoid inwards which traps osteoblasts in their own secretions
  4. The osteoblasts catalyse the mineralisation and thus calcification of the osteoid, forming the bone matrix
  5. Osteoblasts differentiate into osteocytes
  6. This leads to the dveelopment of the periosteum as well as the trabeculae
  7. Crowded blood vessels condense into red bone marrow
40
Q

What traps osteoblasts in intramembranous ossification?

A

Osteoid

41
Q

How does an ossification center form?

A

The condensation of mesenchymal cells that differentiate into osteoblasts

42
Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A

Development of a long bone from a hyaline cartilage model

43
Q

Which type of ossification is faster?

A

Intramembranous

44
Q

What is the primary ossification center called?

A

The diaphysis

45
Q

What is the secondary ossification center called?

A

Epiphysis

46
Q

What are the two mechanisms of bone growth?

A

Interstitial and appositional growth

47
Q

What is interstitial growth?

A

Long bones increasing in length

48
Q

Where does interstitial growth occur?

A

At the growth plates

49
Q

What is apposition all growth?

A

increase in thickness and diameter of bones

50
Q

Where does interstitial growth occur?

A

At the physeal plate

51
Q

What occurs in the proliferation zone?

A

Mitosis

52
Q

What are the zones the cell undergoes through growth?

A 
Reserve zone
Proliferation zone
Maturation and hypertrophy
Calcified matrix
Zone of ossification
53
Q

Describe appositional growth?

A

The deposition of bone beneath the periosteum to increase thickness

54
Q

How does appositional growth occur?

A
  1. Ridges in periosteum create groove for periosteum blood vessel
  2. Ridges fuse forming a tunnel which is now lined with periosteum but since it is inside it is called the endosteum
  3. Osteoblasts in endosperm build new concentric lamellae inwards towards the center of the tunnel, forming new osteon
  4. Bone grows outwards as osteoblasts in periosteum build new circumferential lamellae
55
Q

What regulates calcium release from the bone?

A

Parathyroid hormone

56
Q

What are the three types of joints?

A

Fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial

57
Q

What separates bones in a fibrous joint?

A

Sutures

58
Q

What are cartilaginous joints?

A

Has cartilage in between the bones

59
Q

What are synovial joints?

A

Joints have synovial fluid

60
Q

How can synovial joints be classified?

A

According to the direction they move

61
Q

What are the 6 types of synovial joints?

A

Plane, hinge, ball and socket, pívot, saddle, condyloid

62
Q

What is a joint called if it only moves in one plane?

A

Hinge

63
Q

What type of joint is the knee?

A

Modified hinge joint = synovial

Despite having cartilage it is not complete and therefore doesn’t form a true junction

64
Q

What is the purpose of the cartilage in the knee joint?

A

Reduce the pressure between the bones

65
Q

What is the purpose of the inner synovial membrane?

A

Contains synovial fluid which reduces friction during movement

What is the purpose of the articular capsule?

A

Keeps bone together structurally

67
Q

Where does synovial fluid come from?

A

Synovial membrane

68
Q

What do ligaments do?

A

Prevent excessive movement that could damage the joint

69
Q

What is the movement of the joint if you have more but tighter ligaments?

A

Greater stability but less mobility

70
Q

What is the movement of the joint if you have less ligaments by laxer ones?

A

Greater mobility but less stability

71
Q

What do you have a risk of with poor stability?

A

Risk of dislocation

72
Q

What results from excessive ligament laxity?

A

Hypermobility

73
Q

What are the four factors affecting joint stability?

A

Joint shape
Tendons
Ligaments
Cartilage

74
Q

What do tendons do?

A

Attach muscles to bone, and transmit the force from the muscle to the bone

75
Q

What are tendons made of?

A

Collagen

76
Q

What is the microstructure of tendons?

A

Parallel arrays of collagen fibers packed closely together

77
Q

What is the structure of collagen?

A

3 polypeptide chains wound around each other like a triple helix

78
Q

What do ligaments do?

A

Join bone to bone in order to stabilize the joint

79
Q

Do ligaments have many nerves / blood vessels?

A

No

80
Q

What allows ligaments to tighten or loosen?

A

The functional sub units

81
Q

What is the outer covering of ligaments called?

A

Epiligament

82
Q

What part of ligaments transmits pain signals?

A

Type 3 fibres

83
Q

What is the purpose of cartilage?

A

Shock absorber to reduce friction

84
Q

What is cartilage made up of?

A

Chondrocytes which produce a lot of collagenour ECM

85
Q

What are the 3 types of cartilage?

A

Elastic
Hyaline
Fibrocartilage

86
Q

Compare the joint capsule of the hip and shoulder joint?

A
