Chapter3 Flashcards
What is bones 4 functions
Gives form to the body
Supports the body weight
Protects organs
Facilitates movement
What are 2 types of bone
Flat and long
Describe long bones
Designed for bearing weight
Consists of a thick outer layer (cortex)
90% of cortex is calcified
Describe bone loss with aging
.3 to .5 % per year at about 40 but women increase to 5-6% during menopause for up to 10 years
2 types of macroscopic bone anatomy and 2 types of microscopic bone anatomy
Flat and long bones Cortical bone(compact) and trabecular bone(cancellous)
Describe cortical bone
80% of the skeleton
Is in mid shaft of long bones
Fulfills mechanical and protective functions
Has max resistance to torsion/ bending
Describe trabecular bone
20% of the skeleton
Makes up vertebral body, ends ( epiphyses) of long bones
Increase turnover of bone and larger blood supply then cortical
Reservoir for calcium
Neg affected by immobility, systemic acidosis, some drugs
Allows greater deformation and torsion/ bending
List 2 types of bone cells
Osteoblasts bone production
Osteoclasts responsible for bone resorption
Osteoporosis
Upset in the balance of bone formation and resorption
Leads to deficits in bone mass and fracture susceptibility
What is osteomalacia
A metabolic bone disorder due to vitamin d insufficiency
Increased bone turnover with poorly mineralized bone tissue
What is osteomalacia caused by in adults
CA Kidney failure Disorder of vit d metabolism Liver disease Side effect of seizure medications
What are the signs and symptoms of osteomalacia
Bone fx without injury
Muscle weakness especially pelvic
Bone pain hips
PT for Osteomalacia
Difficulty rise from chair
Difficulty walking
