26
Q

Red marrow

A

-produces blood cells
-in vertebrae, ribs, sternum, pelvic girdle, and proximal heads of femur and humerus in adults

27
Q

Yellow marrow

A

Fatty marrow of long bones in adults (stores fat and connective tissue)

28
Q

What are the functions of the skeletal system?

A

-support
-protection
-movement
-mineral storage (calcium)
-production of red blood cells
-homeostasis of calcium levels

29
Q

How much calcium do bones store?

A

99% of the body’s calcium

30
Q

Parathyroid hormone

A

Released when calcium levels in the blood are decreased

31
Q

How does parathyroid hormone work?

A

Osteoclasts are stimulated to increase bone resorption and calcium is released in the blood

32
Q

Calcitonin

A

Released when calcium levels are increased in the blod

33
Q

How does calcitonin work?

A

Osteoblasts are stimulated to increase bone deposition and calcium is removed from the blood

34
Q

Osteogenesis

A

Bone formation

35
Q

Intramembranous ossification

A

Occurs within a connective membrane. Adds bone tissue to outer surface

36
Q

Endochondral ossification

A

Occurs within a cartilage model. increases in diameter and length

37
Q

How do most bones develop?

A

Endochondrial ossification

38
Q

Where do bones grow in length?

A

Epiphyseal plate

39
Q

How do bones grow in diameter?

A

Combined action of osteoclasts and osteoblasts

40
Q

When does remodeling of bone happen?

A

Throughout life

41
Q

What is remodeling activity important for?

A

Homeostasis of blood calcium levels

42
Q

What happens when a bone fractures?

A

Tears and destroys blood vessels that carry nutrients to osteocytes

43
Q

What is callus?

A

Specialized repair tissue that binds the broken ends of the fracture together so healing can proceed

44
Q

How long does it take for fractures to repair?

A

Normally 8-12 weeks (longer in elderly)

45
Q

Stages of healing: fracture hematoma (1)

A

Clot forms, then osteogenic cells form granulation tissue

46
Q

Stages of healing: soft callus (2)

A

Fibroblasts produce fibers and fibrocartilage

47
Q

Stages of healing: hard callus (3)

A

Osteoblasts produce a bony collar in 6 weeks

48
Q

Stages of healing: remodeling (4)

A

3-4 months. Spongy bone replaced by compact bone

49
Q

Phases of repair of fractures

A
  1. Reactive phase- formation of fracture hematoma
    2a. Reparative phase- fibrocartiliginous callus formation
    2b. Reparative phase- bony callus formation
  2. Bone remodeling phase
50
Q

How does deficiency of vitamin A affect bone growth?

A

Delays bone development

51
Q

How does deficiency of vitamin C affect bone growth?

A

Results in fragile bones

52
Q

How does deficiency of vitamin D affect bone growth?

A

Rickets, osteomalacia (softening of bone)

53
Q

Insufficient growth hormone (bone growth)

A

Dwarfism

54
Q

Excessive growth hormone (bone growth)

A

Gigantism, acromegaly

55
Q

Insufficient thyroid hormone (bone growth)

A

Delays bone growth

56
Q

Sex hormones (bone growth)

A

Promote bone formation; stimulate ossification of epiphysis plates

57
Q

Physical stress (bone growth)

A

Stimulates bone remodeling

58
Q

Ligaments

A

-connect bone to bone
-strengthen and reinforce capsule

59
Q

Bursae

A

Sacs outside most synovial joints where ligaments, muscles, tendons, and/or bones rub

60
Q

Tendon sheaths

A

Elongated bursae around tendons, particularly in confined areas where tendons rub each other

61
Q

Osteoporosis

A

Bones lose mass and become increasingly brittle and subject to fractures (more prevalent in women)

62
Q

Scoliosis

A

Curvature of the spine. Affects thoracic or lumbar area

63
Q

Kyphosis

A

Flattening of the spine (hunchback). Affects thoracic area

64
Q

Lordosis

A

Anterior pushing in of the spine. Affects lumbar area
