Lecture 5 Flashcards
What are the 5 body systems?
- skeletal system
- muscular system
- adipose system
- endocrine system
- nervous system
Body systems are influenced by _____ factors.
extrinsic
Skeletal system for embryo:
cartilage model
Primary ossification:
prenatal
Secondary ossification:
postnatal
____ ossify faster, complete earlier.
girls
Scoliosis ratio:
11:1
Length in postnatal growth:
- secondary centres
- epiphyseal, growth, or pressure epiphyses
Diameter in postnatal growth:
appositional
Traction epiphyses:
A secondary centre of ossification forming at the attachment site of a tendon.
When does growth at the epiphyseal plates stop?
- stops at different times for different bones
- all typically close by age 18-19
- closure occurs at younger age in girls
Bone undergoes ______ throughout the ______.
- remodelling
- life span
In the skeletal system in adults, old bone is _____, new bone is _____.
- absorbed
- formed
In adulthood, bone growth _____, fails to keep pace with _____.
- slows
- reabsorption
As we get old, our bones become more _____.
brittle
Hip dysplasia in newborn:
- congenital
- 1 in 100 affected
- acetabulum underdeveloped Cf. head of femur (blood supply to 2nd ossification)
What are the causes of hip dysplasia in newborn?
- large fetus
- 1st pregnancy
- breech swaddling
- 4:1 (female:male)
How can we tell if a baby has hip dysplasia?
- feel for laxity
- asymmetry of bum creases
How do we fix hip dysplasia in a newborn?
- self resolve (6 weeks)
- after 6 weeks, use harness (maximize contact at ball and socket)
Prenatal growth involves _____ and _____.
- hyperplasia
- hypertrophy
Prenatal growth mainly involves _____.
hypertrophy
Muscle growth follows _____ pattern.
sigmoid
Differences between the sexes become marked in ______ (especially in …)

50
By age ____, average ____% of muscle mass is lost.
- 80
- 30%
Muscle loss occurs in _____ and _____ of muscle fibres.

- size
Size of muscle fibres usually decreases after the age ____.
70
Do type II fibres undergo greater loss?
unclear
How to test for sarcopenia?
simple quick muscle strength test is sufficient
