Q

Dangerous area of face

A

The section of your face from the bridge of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Also called triangle of death

If the skin inside this triangle is broken, like from a cut or popped pimple, bacteria can enter the body and cause infection. Due to its proximity to critical portions of the brain, the infection can quickly lead to serious complications, including cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis, brain abscess, or even death.

Q

Pyramids due to corticospinal decussation

A

Decussation of the fibers (i.e., the crossing of fibers to the opposite side of the body) occurs at the level of the lower medulla, where 85 to 90% of the fibers cross to form the lateral corticospinal tract (LCST).

A

Upon decussation (crossing over) from one side of the medulla to the other, also known as the sensory decussation, they are then called the medial lemniscus.

27
Q

What is somite and derivatives of somite

A

Somites are segmental axial structures of vertebrate embryos that give rise to (derivatives;) vertebral column, ribs, skeletal muscles, and subcutaneous tissues.

28
Q

Types of cells in bone

A

osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts
Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation,
and osteocytes help maintain bone structure by regulating the mineral concentration of the matrix.
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption,
while bone lining cells are believed to play a complementary role in maintaining the bone matrix.

29
Q

Osteoclast location

A

Howship’s lacunae (pits in the bone surface which are called resorption bays)

30
Q

Haversian canal

A

any of the minute tubes which form a network in bone and contain blood vessels.

31
Q

What is Osteon

A

Also known as the Haversian system, osteons consist of overlapping cylinders of bone tissue called lamellae. In the center of each lamellae is a passageway called the Haversian canal, through which blood vessels and nerves pass.

32
Q

Composition of cartilage

A

It is composed ofa dense extracellular matrix (ECM) with a sparse distribution of highly specialized cells calledchondrocytes. The ECM is principally composed of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, with other noncollagenous proteins and glycoproteins present in lesser amounts.

33
Q

Types of bone

A

Long bone – has a long, thin shape. …

Short bone – has a squat, cubed shape. …

Flat bone – has a flattened, broad surface. …

Irregular bone – has a shape that does not conform to the above three types.

34
Q

Extracellular matrix of cartilage

A

Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed primarily of the network type II collagen (COLII) and an interlocking mesh of fibrous proteins and proteoglycans (PGs), hyaluronic acid (HA), and chondroitin sulfate (CS)
