Q

name three functions of tendons, and how its suited to this role

A

attach muscle to bone, transmit tensile forces for movement, do this efficiently, collagen make up of fiber– inelastic means force is not diminished

Q

what is an example of an elastic ligament?

A

ligamentum flavum or nuchae

22
Q

cartilage is a modified connective tissue. how does it differ from other CT?

A

made up of different cells, these differentiate very early in development (chondroblasts) different, stiffer matrix

23
Q

in cartilage, where are the cells (the chondrocytes)?

A

in lacunae

24
Q

cartilage is avascular. how does it receive nutrients?

A

either via the perichondrium, or via the synovial fluid

25
Q

what are the two stages of cartilage cell growth?

A

Interstitial and appositional growth, i, active dividing, ap= no dividing just hypertrophy

26
Q

what surrounds the hyaline cartilage, providing nutrients during development (except for articular cart?

A

perichondrium

27
Q

two reasons to have articular cartilage

A

reduces friction and distributes the load

28
Q

difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

A

mechanica, restricted to one, vs chronic systemic autommune

29
Q

where would you find elastic cartilage?

A

ear, epiglottis

30
Q

purposes of bone:

A

ion resevoir, produce RBC, atatchment for muscles, protection

31
Q

bone can develop two ways, a common and less common way, give examples of each

A

endochondral, long bones etc, intramembranous ossification where bone dev directly from bone (mandible, scull, clavicle,)

32
Q

in intramembranous ossification, what happens?

A

precursours (osteoblasts) develop from the mesodermal stem cells. osteoblasts secrete osteoid, which traps them, they become osteocytes.

33
Q

describe endochondral ossification:

A

from a cartilige model, there is primary and secondary ossification. During primary, chondrocytes differentiate into osteoblasts, begin to deposit bone matrix. there is still a growth plate (cartilige interface)

34
Q

what is the direction of secondary growth in endochondrial ossification?

A

towards center: chondrocyte layer towards the end, hypertrophic zone towards center of bone=leaves cartilage at the end (articular)

35
Q

different roles for osteoblasts, clasts and cytes

A

blasts make bone, clasts break it down, cytes sense pressure

36
Q

most of the dry weight of bone is

A

mineral and collagen

37
Q

volksmans canals, haersian canals=

A

v passes into bone, h goes along side

38
Q

in mature bone, where are osteoblasts located for growth and repair?

A

in the inner layer of the periosteum, osteogenic layer

39
Q

what are the two types of bone?

A

compact, spongy

40
Q

compact bone charicteristics:

A

found in the diaphysis, has haversian system, support and strength

41
Q

spongy bone charicteristics

A

composed of trabiculae, found in the epiphysis, red marrow, light weight, make bones springy

42
Q

what is wolfes law?

A

normal pulling of tendons, weight bearing will shape bones

43
Q

how can movement initiate osteogenisis rather than adipogenisis?

A

mechanical loading through the bones can make cells preferentially differentiate into bone rather than fat

44
Q

evidence of wolf’s law?

A

weight lifters develop thickenings of insertion on stressed muscles, tennis players hae increased cortical layer on dominant arm

45
Q

what type of fracture is most likely to have severe soft tissue dammage, least?

A

crushing or penetrating-explosive, tapping

46
Q

tensile force will produce this type of fracture:

A

transverse

47
Q

axial compression will produce this type of fracture:

A

oblique

48
Q

spiral fracture is produced by this kind of force

A

torsion

49
Q

bending force will produce this type of fracture

A

transverse with small butterfly

50
Q

axial compression and bending will produce this type of fracture

A

transverse oblique with large butterfly

51
Q

how do blastocytes sense mechanical load?

A

processes extend into ECM, pressure allows this mechanical signal to be translated into a chemical signal
