Q

Control of bone growth formation : VITAMIN D

A

needed for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the digestive tract to generate hydroxyappetite to ossify bones

Rickets (occurs in children)
- characterized by deformed legs, ribs, sternum
- teeth fail to form
- cured by vitamin D and calcium intake with sun exposure

Osteomalacia (adults)
- bones undergo decalcification and become soft and week

19
Q

Vitamin A

A

needed for the activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts

20
Q

Growth hormone

A
  • produced in the pituitary gland
  • stimulates mitosis of cartilage cells in the epiphyseal plate resulting in bone growth in length

Excessive growth hormone:
- gigantism : before puberty
- acromegaly : after puberty

21
Q

Growth hormone deficiency

A

Pituitary dwarf
- deficiency occurs before puberty
- too little growth occurs before ossificaiton of the epiphyseal plate resulting in a person of a very small stature but with normal porpotions

22
Q

Thyroxine (T4)

A

produced by the thyroid gland
- moderates the production of growth hormone
- too little thyroxine results in too little growth hormone and reduced growth
- too much thyroxine results in too little growth hormone, early ossification of the epiphyseal plate, and reduced growth.

23
Q

parathyroid hormone

A
  • produced parathyroid gland in response to LOW levels of blood calcium
  • Raises blood calcium levels by
    1. stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone tissue
    2. making the kidneys conserve calcium
    3. indirectly increasing the absorption of calcium from the small intestine.
24
Q

Calcitonin

A

is produced by the thyroid gland in resopne to HIGH levles of blood

Lowers blood calcium levels by
1. inhibiting osteoclasts activity
2. increasing the excretion of calcium and phosphate.

25
Q

Serous membrane: Distinction Between Parietal and Visceral Layers:

A

Parietal Layer: Lines the cavity wall.
Visceral Layer: Covers the organs themselves

26
Q

Layer of mucous membrane

A

Epithelial Layer: Varies by location (e.g., respiratory, gastrointestinal).

Lamina Propria: Loose connective tissue.

Muscularis Mucosae: A thin layer of smooth muscle.

Submucosa: A layer of connective tissue containing blood vessels, nerves, and glands.

27
Q

Location of Langerhans cells

A

Stratum Spinosum

Function: Langerhans cells are part of the immune system; they function as antigen-presenting cells that help recognize and fight pathogens that invade the skin.

28
Q

In stratum granulosum what do the keratinocytes do

A

keratinocytes begin to lose their organelles and undergo a process called keratinization, where they produce keratin and ultimately die.

29
Q

Layers of the dermis

A

papillary layer
reticular layer

30
Q

The layer that generates fingerprints

A

papillary layer

31
Q

the layer that helps strength of the skin

A

reticular layer

32
Q

compact bone is tightly packed with?

A

osteons
layers around a central canal

33
Q

Spongy bone contains?

A

yellow and red bone marrow

34
Q

osteons consists?

A

Central Canal : Contains blood vessels and nerves.

Lamellae: Concentric layers of bone matrix surrounding the central canal.

Lacunae: Small cavities between lamellae where osteocytes reside.

Canaliculi: Tiny channels that connect lacunae and allow for the exchange of nutrients and waste between osteocytes and the central canal.

35
Q

Spaces Osteocytes Live In

A

Lacunae:

36
Q

how do osteocytes pass nutrients

A

Nutrient and Waste Exchange:
Osteocytes use canaliculi to pass nutrients and waste products to and from the central canal and other osteocytes.

37
Q

Arches in Spongy Bone

A

Trabeculae:

38
Q

What bones do intramembranous ossification form?

A

flat bones (skull, cranial bones, clavicle)

39
Q

What bones do endochondral ossification form?

A

Long bones (femur, humerus, radius)

40
Q

How/what does intramembranous ossificaiton start off with?

A

dense irregular CT

41
Q

how does endochondral ossificaiton start off with?

A

hyaline cartilage

42
Q

What is the primary and secondary ossification in Endochondral ossification

A
  • primary ossification: diaphysis of the long bone
  • secondary ossification: develops later in the epiphyses ends
43
Q

Bone growth in length:

A

interstitial growth

44
Q

Bone growth in width

A

appositional growth

45
Q

Sagittal plane
