HUBS 191 1-15 Flashcards
What are the functions of the skeletal muscle?
Support
Movement
Protection
Storage
Red blood cell formation
What are the two gross structures of the bone and their functions?
Compact - strong, good at transmitting force in one direction
Cancellous - light, spongy bone, shock absorbing, resist and channels forces that come from multiple directions
What is compact bone made of?
Osteons - run in units all the way down the bone structure
What is cancellous bone made of?
Trabecular
What are the 4 different bone classes?
Long
short
flat
irregular
How does a long bone reflect their function?
- Thin diaphysis
- Wide ephysis
- Made up limbs that act as leavers
- transmit force in only one direction - diaphysis - compact
- mostly limb bones
- ephysis - cancellous SA
How does a short bone reflect their function?
equal length and width
mainly cancellous bone as weight bearing from multiple directions
eg carpals and tarpals
How does a flat bone reflect their function?
usually in muscle attachments areas eg scapula
- since flat increase SA for MA eg scapula
Also protection eg skull, sternum
How does a irregular bone reflect their function?
various shapes and functions
often has formania eg pelvis
What does the axial Skelton consist of?
- Bones of the core
- protects vital organs
skull, sternum, ribs, VC, sacrum and coccyx
What does the appendicular skeleton consist of?
Bones of the limbs
most important for movement
Skulls
Bones vault the skull - incase brain
muscle attachment sites for face and neck
join at immovable sutures to allow for growth
Facial bones
protect + support sensory organs
Rib cage
rib attached to sternum via cartilage and vertebrae posteriorly
12 each side
20 attach via costal cartilages
protection of heart and lungs
What is the pectoral girdle?
clavicle connects scapula to axial skeleton
What is the pelvis girdle?
2 hips bones: articulate with sacrum to form pelvis - weigh bearing
Humerus
spherical head forming articulation at shoulder joint and condlye forming articulation at elbow joint
light movement
Femur
Stronger
weight bearing
stability
No pronation or supernation
Hands
8 carpals
5 metacarpals
14 phalanges
Foot
tarsals 7
metasals 5
phalanges 14
Difference in female and male pelvis
female pelvic cavity more circular + pelvic outlet more open
maximises space for child birth
How do bones respond to external force?
Bones remodel and change shape to reflect how you use your skeleton
bone cells respond to trauma to unite broken parts
What is the organic part of bone made up of?
33% of bone matrix is collagen
which is long fibres throughout matrix of bone
What surronds collagen in the organic part of bone?
proteoglycans - ground substance
What function does collagen do in the organic part of bone?
- flexibility so bone can resist tension
- makes bone non brittle
What is the inorganic part of bone made up of?
Minerals
eg calcium
hydroxapatitie
What function does minerals do in the organic part of bone?
makes bones hard + resistant to compression
- stops bones bending
What is the 4 cellular components of bone?
- Ostengic
- osteoblast
- osteocytes
- osteoclasts
all work together to maintain bone homeostatic - balance of destruction and formation of bone
What do osteogenic cells do?
Stems cell which produce osteoblasts
What do osteoblasts cells do?
make new bone matrix in the lamellae bone surface
What do osteocytes cells do?
maintain and comms between maker and breaker
- recycle protein and minerals from the matrix
What do osteoclasts cells do?
remove bone from the medullary cavity
What is oppositional growth?
Allowing a bone to grow wider
Ob activity produces circumferential lamalle and OC mould bone shape and form medullary cavity
Why is balance of OC and OB activity important?
Effects if not maintained?
allows bones to mobilise calcium - phosphate and other minerals from bone matrix
if its not maintained and imbalance of OC /OB activity can lead to health effects
What happens if OC > OB acitivty?
osteoporosis
due to loss of cortical bone in cancellous bone
- trabecular becomes thinner
results in increase in compression fracture of vertebrae (which is mainly cancellous) as no bone density to resist compression
who is more at risk of osteoporosis?
More at risk if women as OC and OB activity regulated by estrogen and in menopause estrogen drops so a decrease in OB activity
