Q

Identify the three types of cartilage, describing the extracellular matrix of each type

A

1) Hyaline
2) Elastic
3) Fibrocartilage
A matrix of protein fibers embedded within a gel-like ground substance. Chondroblasts are the cells that produce the matrix of cartilage. Once they become encased w/in the matrix they have produced and secreted, the cells are called chondrocytes & occupy small spaces called lacunae. These mature cartilage cells maintain the matrix & ensure that it remains healthy & viable

Q

Describe the structure of the periosteum, & list its functions

A

It is a tough sheath that covers the outer surface of bone, except for the areas covered by articular cartilage. Made of dense irregular connective tissue & consists of an outer fibrous layer & an inner cellular layer.
Its functions are:
*Protects the bone from surrounding structures
*Anchors blood vessels & nerves to the surface of bone
*Provides stem cells (osteoprogenitor cells & osteoblasts) for bone width growth & fracture repair

Q

What are the functions of the skeletal system?

A

1) Support: Provides structural support & serve as the framework for the entire body
2) Protection: surrounds soft tissue- ex. ribs and sternum protect the heart and lungs, - skull protects the brain
3) Movement: skeletal muscle is attached to bone so it pulls on the bone when it contracts
4) Hemopoiesis: The process of blood cell production. Red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and other blood elements
5) Storage of mineral & energy reserves: storage of minerals and lipids(fats)—yellow marrow stores fat –(found in long bones) stores calcium and phosphate–minerals are released into the blood when needed

Q

Endochondral ossification basic steps

A

1) A hyaline cartilage model of bone forms
2) Bone first replaces hyaline cartilage in the diaphysis
3) Later, bone replaces hyaline cartilage in the epiphyses
4) Eventually, bone replaces hyaline cartilage everywhere, except the epiphyseal plates & articular cartilage
5) By a persons late 20s, the epiphyseal plates have ossified, & lengthwise bone growth is complete

Q

Name the steps of appositional growth

A

1) Stem cells at the internal edge of the perichondrium begin to divide, forming new stem cells & committed cells
2) The committed cells differentiate into chondroblasts
3) These chondroblasts begin to produce & secrete new cartilage matrix. As a result, they push apart & become chondrocytes, each occupying its own lacuna
4) The new matrix has been produced peripherally, & thus appositional growth as occurred

59
Q

“Direct” ossification

A

Intramembranous Ossification

60
Q

Describe Intramembranous Ossification

A
  • Eight weeks of development- 8 weeks
  • Osteoblasts form within connective tissue (“dermal bones”).
  • Only about 10% of your bones form this way: many in the skull, clavicle, scapula, os coxae & all sesamoid bones (including patella)
61
Q

What are the steps to Intramembranous Ossification

A

Step 1 – Mesenchyme cell clusters become osteoprogenitor cells that become osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts produce osteoid. Osteoid begins to mineralize as the ossification center…
Step 2 – Bony spicules (trabeculae) begin to radiate out from the ossification center. Any trapped osteoblasts become osteocytes; blood vessels branch & grow.
Step 3 – Over time, this bone assumes the structure of spongy bone with blood vessels trapped in trabeculae
Step 4- Bone remodeling results in two layers of
compact bone with spongy bone and small marrow cavities in between. A sandwich!

62
Q

Endochondral Ossification is

A
  • “Indirect” ossification via cartilage
  • A hyaline cartilage skeleton model is made first, then that cartilage is converted into bone.
  • Most bones form this way…
63
Q

Summary of Endochondral Bone-

A
  • Hyaline cartilage model develops (in fetus via chondroblasts).
  • Cartilage calcifies and periosteal collar forms.
  • Primary ossification center (osteoblasts in diaphysis.
  • Secondary ossification centers (epiphysis).
  • Replacement of cartilage w/ bone (except epiphyseal plates.
  • Complete ossification (epiphyseal line)
64
Q

Appositional bone growth

A
  • proceeds as periosteal cells differentiate into new osteoblasts which lay down bone on the bone’s exterior.
  • New osteons will organize over time.
  • Osteoclasts on the endostium will dissolve bone enlarging the marrow cavity…

82
Q

Spongy bone is lighter & able to withstand stresses applied from many directions.

84
Q

A

The developmental process of bone formation

85
Q

What are the effects of exercise on bone mass

A
  • Bone has the ability to increase its strenght over a period of time by increasing the amounts of mineral salts deposited & collagen fibers synthesized
  • Bones of athletes become thicker
  • Weight lifting or walking help build and retain bone mass
  • lack of exercise weakens bone
86
Q

What is the difference between intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification?

A

Intramembranous ossification [flat bones] & endochondral ossification [long bones].The essential between them is the presence or absence of cartilaginous phase

87
Q

Bones growth in length is called?

A

Interstitial growth

88
Q

Bones growth in diameter or thickness is called?

A

Appositional growth

89
Q

Interstitial growth occurs

A

Within the epiphyseal plate as chondrocytes undergo mitotic cell division in zone 2 & chondrocytes hypertrophy in zone 3
*these activities combine to push the zone of resting cartilage toward the epiphysis, while the new bone is being produced at the same rate in zone 5, resulting in increased bone length.

90
Q

Appositional growth occurs

A

Within the periosteum. Osteoblasts in the inner cellular layer of the periosteum lay down bone matrix in layers parallel to the surface. As these lamellae increase in number, the structure widens. As new bone is being laid down the osteoclasts along the medullary cavity resorb bone matrix, creating an expanding medullary cavity

A

C1-Atlas-supports the head via its articulation with the occipital condyles of the occipital bone
C2-Axis-during development the body of the atlas fuses to the body of the axis

112
Q

Identify the region of the vertebral column that is most likely to experience a herniated disc, & discuss the causes of this problem

A

The cervical and lumbar intervertebral discs are the most common discs to be injured, because the vertebral column has a great deal of mobility in these regions, and the lumbar regions bears increased weight.
It occurs when the gelatinous nucleus pulposus protrudes into or through the anulus fibrosus.

  • Massive
  • Flexibility
134
Q

How do the glenoid cavity & the acetabulum differ?

A

Compared to the acetabulum (hip-joint) the glenoid cavity is relatively shallow
The glenoid cavity is found in the upper body, where the humerus joins the scapula and is referred to as the shoulder socket. It is not very deep and allows for a great range of motion.
The acetabulum is in the lower body, where the ilium joins the femur. It is a deep socket and is very secure for the support and ability to bear the weight of our bodies
