Bones Types & Functione Flashcards
what happens in osteoarthiritis
cartilage wears away
bone rubs on bone
what happens in rheumatoid arthiritis
swollen inflamed synovial membrane
function of the skeletal system
storage protection movement haemotpoesis support mineral storage balance body weight stores bone marrow
how many bones do we have
206
types of bones
long short flat irregular sesamoid
long bones structure and example
tubular shape with hollow shaft
Humerus
short bones and eg
cuboidal on shape
Carpals , tarsals
flat bones and eg
plates of bone, often curved, protective function
Sternum ribs
irregular bones and eg
various shapes
Vertebrae
sesamoid bones and eg
- round, oval nodules in a tendon
Patella
types of bone by structure
Primary ( woven)
Secondary ( lamellar )
Cortical
Trabecular (spongy)
what is cortical bone structure
Dense, solid, only spaces are for cells and blood vessels.
what is trabecular structure
Network of bony struts (trabeculae), looks like sponge, many holes filled with bone marrow. Cells reside in trabeculae and blood vessels in holes
Woven structure ?
Made quick
Disorganised
No clear structure
Lamellar structure
Made slow
Organised
Layered
Role of hollow bones
Keeps mass away from neutral axis
Minimise deformation
Role of trabecular bone
Gives structural support whilst minimising mass
Role of wide ends
Spread of load
Up to 10% of an adult bone is made from
Water
💧
Majority of adult bone is made from
Mineral
( hydroxyapatite) type of calcium phosphate
What provides stiffness to bone
Minerals
Cells of bone
Osteoclast - multinucleated
Osteoblast - plump cuboidal
Osteocyte - stellate
Bone lining cell - flattened lining the bone
Which bone cell type makes bone
Osteoblast
Most abundant bone cell type
Osteocyte
Function of osteoclast
Resorb bone
Dissolve the mineralised matrix
Breakdown of collagen in bone
High expression of TRAP and cathepsin K
What is modelling and remodelling
Remodel- all bone is altered
Model- gross shape is altered , bone added or taken away
Primary bone cancer
Ademantemona
What does calcium provide
Stiffness
