define ball and socket joints and give an example
Ball-and-socket joints possess a rounded, ball-like end of one bone fitting into a cuplike socket of another bone. This organization allows the greatest range of motion, as all movement types are possible in all directions. Examples of ball-and-socket joints are the shoulder and hip joints.

amphiarthrosis
How do bones grow in length?
Endochondral ossification

monocytes/macrophages
What is the border between the epiphysis and the metaphysis?
epiphyseal line
What are supination and pronation?
supination: movement of the forearm that turns palms anteriorly
pronation: movement of the forearm that turns palm posteriorly
Define a greenstick fracture
A partial fracture in which one side of the bone is broken and the other side bends. Usually occurs in children because their bones are not fully ossified.
What are abduction and adduction?
abduction: movement of bone away from the midline usually in the frontal plane
adduction: movement of bone towards midline, usually in the frontal plane
How does vitamin A affect bone growth?
needed for the activity of osteoblasts during remodeling of the bone; deficiency stunts bone growth; toxic in high doses
What are the 6 functions of the skeletal system?
- provide support
- protects internal organs
- assists in body movements in conjunctions with muscles
- mineral homeostasis- stores and releases calcium and phosphorus
- participates in blood cell production (hemopoiesis)
- stores triglycerides in adipose cells of yellow marrow
What type of joint and movement?
synovial, gliding and biaxial
What are the 5 types of bones by shape and an example of each?
long- femur short- carpals flat- ribs and cranial bones irregular- vertebrae sesamoid- patella
Define a synarthrosis joint and give an example
allows no movement
suture or gomphosis
What happens while osteoblasts deposit bone on the outer surface of the bone during thickening?
Osteoclasts widen the medullary cavity from within
Function of the intervertebral discs?
absorb shock and separate vertebrae from one another
Where is the sternal notch?
top (superior) of the manubrium
What is an example of a pivot joint?
atlantoaxial joint (c1 and c2)
What is arthroplasty and what are two common sites?
joint replacement surgery
hip and knee
How does vitamin C affect bone growth?
Needed for synthesis of collagen, the main bone protein; deficiency leads to decreased collagen production, which slows down bone growth and delays repair of bone.
What are sharpey’s fibres?
connect the periosteum to the bone
In a syndesmosis joint, what are the bones usually connected by?
a ligament
function of osteoclasts
remodel/breakdown bones and cause them to release calcium
What are the 6 types of fractures we need to know?
open/closed, comminuted, greenstick, impacted, pott, and colles
What are sutural bones?
small, extra bone plates located within the suture of the cranial bones
define a pott fracture
fracture of the distal end of the fibula with serious injury of the distal tibia articulation
What are the 4 types of bone cells?
osteoprogenitor
osteoblast
osteocytes
osteoclasts
How does parathyroid hormone affect bone growth?
promotes bone resorption by osteoclasts, enhances recovery of calcium from urine, promotes formation of the active form of vitamin D
What are the important pieces that make up the elbow joint?
trochlear notch of the ulna and trochlea of the humerus
What is the name for the unossified mesenchyme develops into dense connective tissue in a baby’s skull? Where are they located?
