Q

2 ways cartilage grows

A
  1. Appositional: cartilage added to outside of existing cartilage
  2. Interstitial: chondrocytes (in matrix) divide & add more matrix b/w chondrocytes

Q

how is cartilage made?

A

chondroblasts produce matrix => once surrounded by matrix changes name to chondrocytes (located in lacunae)

Q

Formation of bone matrix by…

A

ostification/osteogenesis from osteoblast. Osteoblast (E.R & golgi) produce & release collagen. Precursors of hydroxyapatite (in vesicles) released

Q

2 ways bone grows

A

1st. Woven: collagen fibres randomly arranged (foetal develop. & initial fracture repair)
2nd. Lamellar: woven bone is broken down by osteoclast & reformed into lamellae (thin sheets). Each lamellae has collagen fibres parallel to each other, but in different lamellae CF at diff. directions

Q

2 Types of bone formation (ossification)

A
  1. Intramembranous: w/in CT membranes e.g. skull bones

2. Endochondral: w/in cartilage template e.g. base of skull

20
Q

4 classification of bones according to shape

A
  • long: upper & lower limbs
  • Short: carpal (wrist) & tarsals
  • Flat: ribs, sternum, skull, scapul
  • Irregular: vertebrae, facial
21
Q

2 types of bone

A
  • Spongy/cancellous/trabecular: pores (trabecullae).&raquo_space; weight bearing
  • Compact/Cortical: contain osteon/Haversian sys.
22
Q

Describe structure of osteon in compact bone

A
  1. central/haversian canal
  2. Lammellae: circumfrential (around central canal) & interstitial (in b/w osteons)
  3. Perforating/Volkmann’s canal: small horizontal canal - transmit blood vessels from periosteum to haversian canal
23
Q

types of bone structures

A
  1. Flat: no diaphysis & epiphysis. Sandwich of spongey & compact bone (skull, ribs, sternum)
  2. short & irregular: compact bone surrounding spongey bone (like epiphysis). No diaphysis (vertebrae, carpals, tarsals)
  3. has Long: epiphysis, diaphysis, medullary cavity, epiphyseal plate (hyaline cartilage) /line (kids/adults). (e.g bones of limbs)
24
Q

Blood Calcium homeostasis

A
  • Low levels: PTH stimulates osteoclast to break bone
  • Hi levels: Calcitonin (from parafollicular cells in Thyroid gland) decreases osteoclast activity. & osteoblast make new bone
25
Q

why are Ca2+ needed by the body?

A
  1. release neurotransmitters
  2. muscle contraction
  3. blood clotting (enzyme cofactor)
26
Q

bone formation marker

A

osteocalcin (hormone secreted by osteoblast) promotes insulin secretion & improves insulin sensitivity & testosterone production

27
Q

what are the areas of bone that allow for smooth articulation?

A

Condyle: smooth rounded articular surface

& facet: small flattened articular surface

28
Q

3 Major classifications of joints & its sub groups.

A
  1. Fibrous = non-moveable.
  2. Cartilaginous = slightly moveable. hyaline
  3. Synovial = freely moveable
29
Q

Characteristics & subclassification of Fibrous joints

A

Unite 2 bones w/ Fibrous CT, no joint cavity, little/no movement. Gomphosis (teeth joints), Sutures, syndesmosis (radioulnar)

30
Q

Characteristics & subclassification of cartilaginous joints

A

unite 2 bones w/ cartilage, little/no movement, permanent/replaced by synchondrosis. Hyaline CJ (epiphyseal plate), fibrocartilage J (symphysis pubis, intervertebral discs)

31
Q

Characteristics & features of synovial joints

A

contain synovial fluid, complex joints, moveable. Most joints unite appendicular skeleton & greater mobility than axial

32
Q

angular movements

A
  1. flexion: bend anteriorly from coronal plane
  2. extension: straighten/bend posteriorly to coronal plane
    * except w/ knee
  3. FOOT: dorsiflexion (up) and plantar flexion (down)
  4. Abduction
  5. Adduction
33
Q

Circular movements

A
  1. Medial & lateral Rotation
  2. Pronanation & supination
  3. circumduction
34
Q

special pair movements

A
  1. elevation (up) & depression (down shoulders) *shoulder joints can’t
  2. protraction (underbite) & retraction (overbite)
  3. Inversion (tilt foot -> midline) & eversion (rotate away midline)
  4. Opposition (touch fingertips w/ thumb) & reposition (relax to normal)
35
