A
In the appendages
10
Q
How many ossification centers do long bones have
A
Multiple (3 - 2 epiphasis, 1 diaphysis)
11
Q
Ossification center
A
Where ossification first begins
The site of the earliest bone formation via accumulation of osteoblasts within connective tissue (intramembranous ossification) or of earliest destruction of cartilage before onset of ossification (endochondrial ossification)
12
Q
Endochondrial ossification
A
- A cartilage model
- Mesenchymal cells become chondroblasts which produce a cartilage model which is later replaced by bones
13

End regions of the bones
16
Q
Metaphysis
A
Region of the bone lying between the diaphysis and epiphysis
17
Q
Metaphyseal growth plate
A
located between epiphyses and diaphysis in young animals. Composed of cartilage
18

A
1
Therefore, no growth plates
20
Q
When are flat bones present?
A
When either extensive protection or large muscle attachment area is necessary.
21
Q
Diploe
A
Cancellous tissue enclosed by two thin layers of cortical bone.
In certain areas of the skull, this is absorbed to form air sinuses
22
Q
How are irregular bones formed?
A
Both endochondral ossification and intramembrous ossification
23
Q
Intramembrous ossification
A
Bone formation without a cartilage model
Mesenchymal cells become osteoblasts directly rather than becoming chondroblasts
24
Q
Sesamoid bones
A
Small, seed-like bones that are embedded in muscle tendons
25
All sesamoid bones are short bones, but
not all short bones are sesamoid bones
26
Three purposes of sesamoid bones
- Eliminates tendon shear
- Redirects line of force
- Increases torque
27
Periosteum
- Lines outer surface of the bone
- Source of osteoblast progenitor cells (healing fractures)
- Rich in nerves and blood vessels; extremely sensitive
28
Osteoblasts
Cells that lay down bone
29
Endosteum
lines inner surface of bone
30
Medullary Cavity
Location of bone marrow (red or yellow)

red
32
Most bones are formed by
endochondrial ossification
33
What bones are formed by intramembrous ossification
Flat bones, including the bones of the calvaria (top of the skull) and face
34
Why is the growth plate clinically relevant
Often the primary site for infection, metastisis, fractures, and effects of endocrine disorders
35
What results in dwarfism?
Achondroplasia
| chondrodystrophy
36
Chondrodystrophy
- Cartilage maldevelopment
- Genetic conditions
- Causes arrested growth of long bones
- Results in disproportionate dwarves
37
Bone blood supply
- Nutritional vessels enters the diaphysis and epiphysis
- The majority of long bones have a single nutrient foramen that accommodates a nutrient artery that enters the bone mid-diaphysis
38
What supplies the outer, cortical bone?
Periosteal blood vessels
39
Wolff's Law
Normal bone remodels in response to the stress placed upon it
40
If a load in a particular area of the bone increases,
The bone will remodel to become stronger to resist the force
41
Myology
The study of muscles
42
Three types of muscle
smooth, skeletal, cardiac
43
Smooth muscle
- In organs and blood vessels
| - ANS
44
Skeletal muscle
- Attached to the skeleton
| - Voluntary
45
Cardiac muscle
- Muscle of the heart
| - ANS
46
The locomotor system (apparatus) includes
all structures that provide the body with:
- stability (skeleton)
- independent movement (muscles/joints)
- the basis for the characteristic conformation of individual species
47
The musculoskeletal system is divided into two components:
The muscular system - Active
| The skeletal system - Passive
48
The muscular (active) component
- Consists of muscles that move parts of the individual body such as the limbs, the trunk, and the head
- Provides the individual with means of locomotion
49
Skeletal muscle fibers are made to
actively contract
50
Three layers of connective tissue surrounding skeletal muscle fibers
Epimysium
Perimysium
Endomysium
51
Epimysium
outermost connective tissue surrounding the muscle belly
52
Perimysium
extend from epimysium into the muscle; divides muscle into smaller units called musclefascicles
53
Endomysium
Extends from the perimysium to envelop individual fiber muscle cells
54
7 criteria for muscle nomenclature
- Shape
- Size
- Relative position/direction
- Origin and insertion
- Function
- Structure
- Combo of above
55
Muscles attach to bones via
tendons
56
Tendon of origin
- May originate from bone, another muscle, or skin
| - Usually the more proximal or fixed point of a muscle attachment
57
Tendon of insertion
- Inserts on bone, another muscle, or skin
| - Usually distal or movable part of the muscle
58
Aponeurosis
A sheet-like tendon that allows muscles to have broader attachments
59
Three associated structures that ease the effect of excessive pressure or friction associated with tendons
- Sesamoid bones
- Synovial subtendonous bursa
- Synovial sheath
60
Ligaments attach
bone to bone
61
5 arrangements of muscle fibers
1. Parallel to the long axis (strap-like)
2. Fusiform (spindle-shaped)
3. Pennate (angled to one side)
4. Bipennate (angled to the inside)
5. Mulitpennate (multiple different angles)
62
More fibers, more cross sectional area =
more powerful
63
Arrangement of muscle fibers in biceps brachii, triceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, ect.
Muscles arise by two, three, or four heads that merge into one tendon of insertion
64
Arrangement of muscle fibers in digastricus, brachiocephalicus, ect
Two or more fleshy regions are separated by an intermediate tendon forming digastric or polygastric units
65
Arrangement of muscle fibers in Orbicularis occuli, orbicularis oris, external anal sphincter
Muscle fibers arranged into rings that surrounded natural openings
66
Synovial bursa
- One-sided protection of muscle tendons
| - Can be subcutaneous, subtendinous, or intertendinous
67
Synovial tendon sheaths
Synovial fluid-filled sacs that surround muscle tendons
68
Fascia
- Allow muscles to function as units
| - Divided into superficial and deep
69
Superficial fascia
Usually loose connective tissue
70
Deep fascia
- Dense collagenous connective tissue from which some muscles may originate or insert; attaches to bone
- Surrounds and compartmentalizes muscles; distinct fascial septa separate groups of muscles from one another and result in fascial planes
71
Clinical relevance of understanding fascial planes?
Understand the spread of infection -will spread to the area of least resistance
72
Arthrology
The study of the structure and function of joints
73
Joint
- A point of contact, or articulation, between two or more bones/cartilage
- Provides support and movement to the skeleton
- Keep in mind that not all joints are moveable
74
Two types of classification of joints
- Functional
| - Structural
75
Functional classification of joints
Physiological classification -based on the amount of movement permitted
76
Structural classification of joints
Anatomical classification
| Based on structure, which is based on the type of connective tissue present between bones
77
Three types of functional classification of joints
- Synarthroses
- Amphiarthroses
- Diarthroses
78
Synarthroses
- Immovable joints
| - Includes: synostosis
79
Amphiarthroses
- Semimovable joints
| - Includes: suture, syndesmosis, synchondrosis
80
Diarthroses
- Freely movable joints
| - Includes: Synovial joints
81
Three types of structural classification of joints
- Fibrous
- Cartilaginous
- Synovial
82
Fibrous joint
- Strong fibrous connective tissue (dense irregular) between articulating bone
- Little to no movement
- In some cases, bones can fuse resulting in a bony joint (synostosis)
83
Cartilaginous joint
-Cartilage, either hyaline or fibrocartilage, between articulating bones = limited movement
84
Synovial joint
-Joint cavity between articulating bones lined with synovial membranes = free movement
85
Three types of fibrous joints
Suture
Syndesmosis
Gomphosis
86
Suture joint
- Seams (interdigitation) of the bones and the skull
| - Gradually eliminated via ossification (results in synostosis)
87
Gomphosis
- Tooth in alveolus, united by periodontal ligament
| - Not technically a joint by classic definition because teeth are technically not considered bones
88
Syndesmosis
Bones joined by interosseous ligaments (radius/ulna and tibia/fibula)
89
Two types of cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis
| Symphysis
90
Synchondrosis
- Hyaline cartilage union
| - Ex. Coastal cartilage connecting ribs to sternum, growth plates
91
Symphysis
- Occurs in the midline of the body where articulating bones are connected via a flat disc of fibrocartilage
- Ex. pelvic symphysis, intervertebral disc
92
Synovial joint classification types
- Number of bones
| - Shape
93
Structure of a synovial joint
- Joint capsule consists of an outer fibrous layer and an inner synovial membrane
- The outer fibrous layer blends with the periosteum and is thickened in some joints to form ligaments
94
Inner synovial membrane of a synovial joint
Highly vascularized, has nerves, and the synoviocytes produce synovial fluid for lubrication and nutrition of the bone surfaces
95
Three accessory structures of the synovial joint
- Meniscus
- Ligament
- Fat pads
96
Meniscus
Fibrocartilage located within the synovial cavity
97
Ligaments
- Extracapsular: located outside of the joint capsule
- Intracapsular: occur within the joint capsule, but are excluded from the synovial cavity by folds of the synovial membrane
98
Fat pads
Between fibrous and synovial layers, may protrude into joint cavity
99
Ways synovial joints can be classified
```
By number of articulating bones
-Simple joint
-Compound joint
How well bones fit together
-Congruent joint
-Incongruent joint
Shape
```
100
Simple vs Compound synovial joints
Simple - formed by two bones
| Compound - formed by more than two bones
101
Congruent vs incongruent synovial joints
Congruent - two articular surfaces fit together
| Incongruent - two articular surfaces do not fit together
102
Shape of a joint determines
Permitted motions around the joint
103
Hinge synovial joint
Permits angular motion in one plane
104
Spheroidal synovial joint
- Ball and socket
| - Permits rotation and other movement
