Introduction to Bone Year 1 recap Flashcards
Session Plan: musculoskeletal system

What makes up the MSK system?

The Human Skeleton

Functions of the skeleton

How do bones develop in utero?

Intramembranous Ossification: mesenchymal to bone

Endochondral Ossification
Mesenchymal to cartilage to bone
1) Perichondrium vascularised by blood vessels. These blood vessels start delivering nutrients that are going to stimulate those mesenchymal cells that remain there to differentiate into osteoblasts. Newly formed osteoblasts gather along the diaphysis wall (the outer edge of long bones) and start depositing osteoid to form a bone collar. Primary ossification centre is starting point for endochondral ossification.
2) Formation of the bone collar will cause chondrocytes that remain within that central cavity, to enlarge and send a signal to the surrounding cartilage to calcify. Calcified matrix causes an impermability of nutrients towards the inner portion of that developing bone. The cells in that area are therefore no longer receiving the nutrients they need for survival so causes cell death. Central clearing forms where cells have died (supported by bone collar). While this is all occuring at the primary ossification centre, there are still going to be healthy chondrocytes further distal towards the ends of the bone that are still producing cartilage matrix and are in charge of elongating of that structure.

What are bones made up of?

Bone Cells

Bone Cells – Where to find them

Bone Matrix

What are the different types of bone structure and how are they related to development?
Bone types

Cortical vs. Cancellous Bone

Organization of compact/cortical bone: osteons

Structure of long bones

How do bones grow?

Interstitial Growth

Appositional Growth

Role of Bone in Calcium Homeostasis

Joints & Joint Stability
How do we classify joints?
The proximal tibiofibular joint is formed by an articulation between the head of the fibula and the lateral condyle of the tibia.
It is a plane type synovial joint; where the bones to glide over one another to create movement.

Synovial Joints:
