Q

What is the Diaphysis?

A

the shaft of the bone

34
Q

Which part of the bone does the bone start growing?

A

the Diaphysis

35
Q

What is the Epiphysis?

A

The end of the bone

36
Q

What is the Metaphysis?

A

The transitional portion of the bone

37
Q

What are the features of Spongy (cancellous/trabecular) bone?

A

Open network of struts and plates

38
Q

What are the features of Compact (cortical) bone?

A
  • Relatively dense and solid

* Reservoir for minerals

39
Q

What are the features of the Endosteum and Periosteum?

A
  • Highly vascularized
  • Contain stem cells
  • Can grow by increasing diameter (appositional growth)
40
Q

What is Appositional growth?

A

Growth by increasing diameter

41
Q

Where is the Medullary cavity?

A

In the middle of bones

42
Q

What does the Medullary cavity contain?

A
  • Yellow marrow (adipocytes)

* Red marrow

43
Q

What is Red marrow?

A

Mature and immature red and white blood cells

44
Q

How do Osteoblasts become Osteocytes?

A

Osteoblasts secrete fluid that collides with gel that attract minerals to form osteocytes

45
Q

What are Osteoclasts?

A

Cells the break down bone

46
Q

How do Osteoclasts work?

A

They suck out all the mineral and put it in the bloodstream

47
Q

How are Osteons organized?

A

In concentric layers around a central canal containing blood vessels. They are oriented in the line of stress

48
Q

What are the two ways the bones form?

A
  • Intramembranous ossification

* Endochondral Ossification

49
Q

What occurs in Intramembranous ossification?

A

Osteoblasts differentiate directly from mesenchymal cells

50
Q

What are the usual bones that develop from Intramembranous ossification?

A

Mainly flat bones (e.g, crania, face)

51
Q

What occurs in Endochondral ossification?

A

Bone replaces a hyaline cartilage template

52
Q

What kind of bones are usually formed in Endochondral ossification?

A

Mainly long bones (e.g., limbs, ribs vertebrae)

53
Q

What is the process of Intramembranous growth?

A

Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts forming a center of ossification forming spongy bone. Then it attracts blood vessels that migrate towards it and get trapped with it. The periosteum forms at extremities. Trabeculae become interconnected to form spongy like bone

54
Q

What are the steps in Endochondral Growth (Pre-natal)?

A

Mesenchymal cells form chondroblasts which form chondrocytes. The chondrocytes secrete matrix creating a hyaline cartilage model. The large chondrocytes secrete an attractant for blood vessels and then undergo cell death. The invading blood vessels bring osteoblasts and osteoclasts which will make bone

55
Q

When do all Primary ossification centres develop?

A

In utero

56
Q

What makes the Periosteum in Endochondral growth?

A

The dying off mesenchyme

57
Q

What is the Endochondral growth (Post-natal)?

A

The epiphyses are still cartilage and secondary ossification occurs to expand and ossify most of the epiphysis

58
Q

What remains between the epiphysis and diaphysis?

A

The Epiphyseal cartilage plate

59
Q

What does the Epiphyseal cartilage plate allow for?

A

Growth (lengthening) of the bone until it fuses with the metaphysis and is fused with bone

60
Q

What is Interstitial growth?

A

Growth in length

61
Q

What is Appositional growth?

A

The change in diameter or the change in shape of the bone

62
Q

What happens when bone gets reabsorbed by Osteoclasts?

A

The inner segment increases in diameter

63
Q

What happens when bone is deposited by Osteoblasts?

A

The diameter of the outer part

64
Q

After growth plates have fused how can bones grow?

A

They can grow appositionally in response to stimuli or bone damage

65
Q

How does Bone Repair work?

A
  • After the fracture bleeding occurs and a clot forms
  • An internal callus forms as spongy bone forms inside and cartilage and bone stabilize outside
  • Cartilage is replaced by bone and the struts of the spongy bone unite
66
Q

What are Joints places of contact between?

A
  • Bone and bone
  • Bone and Cartilage
  • Bone and Tooth
67
Q

What does structure of the joint determine?

A

Its mobility and stability

68
Q

What are the two ways joints can be classified?

A

1) The CT that binds the bones together and the potential space between them
2) Functionality

69
Q

What are the 3 types of Joints?

A
  • Fibrous joints
  • Cartilaginous joints
  • Synovial joints
70
Q

What are Fibrous Joints?

A

When bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue

71
Q

What are some examples of fibrous joints?

A

Sutures between skull bones
Interosseous membrane between radius and ulna
Gomphosis that holds teeth in the jaw

72
Q

What is the Interosseous membrane?

A

A type of fibrous joint that connects the radius and ulna

73
Q

What are Cartilaginous joints?

A

When bones are joined by cartilage

74
Q

What are the two types of Cartilaginous Joints?

A
  • Primary/Synchondrosis

* Secondary/Symphysis

75
Q

What are Primary or Synchondrosis Cartilaginous joints?

A

Temporary cartilaginous union between bones

76
Q

What do Primary or Synchondrosis Cartilaginous joints allow for?

A

Don’t allow movement but allow growth

77
Q

What are Secondary or Symphysis Cartilaginous joints?

A

Permanent Cartilaginous union between bones

78
Q

What are examples of Secondary or Symphysis Cartilaginous joints?

A

Intervertebral discs

Pubic symphysis

79
Q

What are examples of Primary or Synchondrosis Cartilaginous joints?

A

Cartilage of growth plate

80
Q

What are Synovial joints?

A

Fluid filled cavity that separates cartilage-covered joint surface

81
Q

What do Synovial joints allow for?

A

Allow for motion especially in the limbs

82
Q

What si the difference between a hinge joint and a ball and socket joint?

A

A hinge joint is uniaxial and a ball-and-socket joint is multiaxial
