Q

types of bursae

A
  1. subcutaneous: in subcut. tissue btwn skin + bony area
  2. subfascial: below deep fascia
  3. subtendinous: allow movement of tendons ove bone
  4. synovial tendon sheath: elongated, encloses tendons for anchoring

Q

what is articular cartilage

A

cartilage found where bones articulate

provides smooth gliding surfaces for movement

21
Q

how does cartilage obtain nutrients?

A

through diffusion

22
Q

what is bone? what does it do?

A

specialized CT that provide

  1. support
  2. protection
  3. movement
  4. storage (salts)
  5. supply of blood cells (marrow)
23
Q

what is the periosteum of bone?

A

fibrous CT covering bone that nourishes and is a place for attachment of tendons and ligaments

24
Q

what is the perichondrium of bone?

A

fibrous CT covering cartilage

25
Q

what are the 2 types of bone?

A
  1. compact: superficial thin layer

2: spongy: inner layer with spicules (trabeculae)

26
Q

bones with medullary cavities contain what?

A

yelow (fatty) or red (blood and platelet forming) bone marrow or both

27
Q

how do the proportions of compact and spongy bone vary for each bone?

A

compact bone provides strength so its amount is greatest where bone bears most weight

28
Q

what is the classification of bones?

A
  1. long bones: tubular
  2. flat bones: protective
  3. irregular bones: diff shape
  4. sesamoid: found where tendons cross long bones
29
Q

where are bone markings found?

A

where tendons, ligaments, + fascias are attached or where arteries lie near bones

30
Q

bone marking: capitulum

A

small, round articular head

ex: capitulum of humerus

31
Q

bone marking: condyle

A

ex: lateral + medial femoral condyles

32
Q

bone marking: crest

A

ridge of bone

ex: iliac crest

33
Q

bone marking: epicondyle

A

eminence superior or adjacent to condyle

ex: lateral epicondyle of humerus

34
Q

bone marking: facet

A

smooth flat area usually covered with cartilage where bone articulates with bone
ex: superior costal facet of vertebra articulating with rib

35
Q
