Q

Intramembranous ossification

Q

How does endochondral ossification happen

A
  1. Bone collar forms around diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model. Primary ossification center in mid diaphysis
  2. Cartilage in middle of diaphysis calcifies and develops cavities
  3. The periosteal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy bone forms
  4. The diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms. Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses
  5. During childhood and adolescence epiphyses ossify and the only cartilage left is in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilage

Q

How does intramembranous ossification happen?

A
  1. Mesenchymal cells cluster together and turn into osteoblasts. Ossification centers appear in the fibrous connective tissue membrane, osteoblasts make the first trabeculae of spongy bone.
  2. Osteoblasts secrete osteoid which calcifies in a few days. Osteoblasts become trapped and become osteocytes
  3. Bone forms in a woven manner instead of lamellae. Vascularized mesenchyme condenses on the outside of woven bone and becomes the periosteum
  4. Lamellar bone replaces woven bone just deep to the periosteum. The spongy bone’s vascular tissue becomes red marrow

Q

When and how does bone growth stops

A

At the end of adolescence chondrocytes in epiphyseal plate divided less often. The plates become thinner and thinner until they are entirely replaced by bone tissue. Longitunal bone growth ends when epiphysis and diaphysis fuse (called epiphyseal closure) only articular cartilage

Bone remodeling

A

Also called Appositional growth. Is regulated by hormones and stress on the bone. Osteocytes detect stress osteoblasts secrete osteoid on one side of the bone which becomes calcified while on the other side osteoclasts reabsorb bone. Remodeling goes on through out life

(Pulling) placing sustained tension on a body region to keep parts of a fractured bone in proper alignment.

43
Q

4 spinal curvatures and how they curve

A

Cervical curvature; concave posteriorly

Thoracic curvature: convex posteriorly

Lumbar curvature; concave posteriorly

Sacral curvatures: convex posteriorly

44
Q

What do the curvatures of the spine do?

A

Increase resilience and flexibility of the spine, allowing it to function like a spring, instead of a rigid rod

45
Q

Three types of spinal abnormalities

A
  1. Scoliosis
  2. Kyphosis
  3. Lordosis
46
Q

Scoliosis

A

(Twisted disease) abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that occurs most often in the thoracic region. Common in preteen girls. Severe cases result from abnormal vertebral structure, unequal lower limbs, or muscle paralysis. Treatment: body braces or surgery before bone growth ends to prevent further complications

47
Q

Kyphosis

A

Hunchback a dorsally exaggerated thoracic curvature. Common in elderly, also caused by tuberculosis of the spine, rickets or osteomalacia

48
Q

Lordosis

A

Swayback; accentuated lumbar curvature. Can be caused by spinal tuberculosis or osteomalacia . Temporary lordosis caused by potbellies and pregnancy

49
Q

Stenosis of the lumbar spine

A

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, known as the lumbar area.

This usually happens when bone or tissue—or both—grow in the openings in the spinal bones. This growth can squeeze and irritate nerves that branch out from the spinal cord .The result can be pain, numbness, or weakness, most often in the legs, feet, and buttocks.

It’s most often caused by changes that can happen as people age. For example:

Connective tissues called ligaments get thicker.
Arthritis leads to the growth of bony spurs that push on the nerves that branch out from the spinal cord.
Discs between the bones may be pushed backward into the spinal canal.
Symptoms may include:

Numbness, weakness, cramping, or pain in the legs, feet, or buttocks. These symptoms get worse when you walk, stand straight, or lean backward. The pain gets better when you sit down or lean forward.
Stiffness in the legs and thighs.
Low back pain.
In severe cases, loss of bladder and bowel control.You can most likely control mild to moderate symptoms with pain medicines, exercise, and physical therapy. Your doctor may also give you a spinal shot of corticosteroid, a medicine that reduces inflammation.

You may need surgery if your symptoms get worse or if they limit what you can do. Surgery to remove bone and tissue that are squeezing the nerve roots can help relieve leg pain and allow you to get back to normal activity. But it may not help back pain as much.

50
Q

Two types:

  1. Synchondroses
  2. Symphyses
66
Q

68
Q

How are joint mobility and stability related?

A

The more stable the less movable and vice versa
