Lecture 1 Flashcards
What is coronal plane
Devides the body to anterior and posterior sides
what is sagittal plane
Divides the body to left and right parts and if its through the mid line its called mid sagittal plane
what is transverse or horizontal or axial plane
Divide the body into superior and inferior parts
what does anterior mean and posterior
anterior: ventral and posterior: dorsal
what does medial and lateral mean
medial: towards the midline and lateral : away from the midline
what does superior (cranial) and inferior (distal) mean
superior : towards the head and inferior : down from the head
what it terms to identify a position on the same limp
proximal and distal —–> proximal means near where the limp attaches to the body and distal means away from where the limp attaches to the body
what does Rostral mean
describe position of the head towards the nose
what does superficial and deep mean
describe the body in reference to the surface of the body
what is plain radiography
-X ray generated from a cathode ray tube directed towards the body and collimated on the area of photography
-the body reduces the energy of the xray
-air reduces the least
-fats more than air but less than h2o
bone reduces it the most
bone appears white
air appears dark
what is cartilage
its a connective tissue filled with extracellular fiber inside of its matrix which inside is cells localized in small cavities
what is the function of cartilage
support soft tissue
provide surface for articulating of bones like in the joints
enable development and movement of long bones
what are the types of cartilage
1- hyaline: most common it matrix contain moderate amount of collagen fiber ex; articular surfaces of bones
2- elastic-matrix: contain collagen fiber + elastic fiber ex: external ear
3- fibrocartilage : contain limited amount of cells and ground substance amidst a substantial amount
of collagen fibers (e.g. , intervertebral discs).
ALL OF THEM ARE NOURISHED BY DIFFUSION THEY DONT HAVE A BLOOD VESSLES OR LYMPHATIC OR NERVES
what is the definition of bone
Calcified living connective tissue forms the majority of the skeleton
what is the function of bone
support for the body
protection of vital organs
surface which muscle can act upon
contain blood reproducing cells ( Bone marrow )
what are the types of bones
compact (trabecular): the dense part of bone and covers spongy bones
Spongy( cancellous): the inner part of the bone and has spicules which contain bone marrow
classify bones according to shape
1- Long bones ( tubular) : humerus
2-short bones (cuboidal): bones of the wrist and ankles
3- flat bones( two compact bone surrounded by spongy bone ): sternum and ribs
4-irregular bones( bones with various shapes) : phalanges and carpals
5-seasomid bones or oval bones : knee bone
what is the periosteum
its what covers every bone except the bones of the joint and its a fibrous connective tissue that have the ability to for a new bone
feed outer layer if compact bone
has a lot of nerves like bones
what is the vasomotor fiber
it accompanies the artery which supply the periosteum with blood and its function is to regulate blood flow
how bone fracture is treated inside the body
Between the fracture margins a blood
clot is formed into which new vessels grow. A jel ly-l ike
matrix is formed, and further migration of collagenproducing cells occurs. On this soft tissue framework,
calcium hydroxyapatite is produced by osteoblasts and
forms insoluble crysta ls, and then bone matrix is laid
down. As more bone is produced, a callus can be
demonstrated forming across the fracture site
Avascular necrosis
its the death of a bone due to lose of blood supply either temporary or permanent loose
and its widely occuring in the femoral neck of elderly patients which causes loss of continuity of the cortical
medullary blood flow with loss of blood flow deep to the
retinacular fibers
what is osteoporosis
its the significant loss of mineral density of bone which can be from poor diet or premature ovulation failure or steroid usage or smoking
what are the types of bone marrow
there is red marrow and yellow marrow
Red marrow :myeloid tissue and turned to yellow marrow in the medulla of flat bones as we get older and its function is to make RBCs and WBCs and platlets
White marrow: make few WBCs and has stem cells
what are the types and function of stem cells
Hemopiotic stem cells which are responsible for RBC and WBC and platlets formation
and Mesenchymal stem cells which are responsible for Bone and cartilage and muscle formation
what are the types of joints
Synovial joints: where to bones meet together and are separated by a cavity
and solid joints where to skeletal elements meet together by connective tissue and there is no cavity
and cartilaginous joints: occur at the midline like the intervertebral disc and pubic symphysis
