Q

What is the hierarchy in levels of organization- from cells to organism? What is the difference between an organelle, organ and organism? Can you list a few systems in the body?

A
  • Cells, Tissue, Organs, Organ systems, Organism
  • An organelle is a structure in a cell that carries out a specific function. An organ is tissue that works together to perform a function. An organism is something that has organ systems that allow for metabolism

A

Dorsal Body Cavity

- Spinal cord

Ventral Body Cavity
- Thoracic Cavity
- R + L Pleural cavities contain the lungs

- Inferior Mediastinum: Pericardial cavity (where the heart is located)
- Abdominopelvic Cavity
- Abdominal Cavity: contains digestive organs
- Pelvic Cavity: contains reproductive organs, rectum and bladder

The diaphragm is a divider between the abdominopelvic cavity and the thoracic body cavity. It is a sheet of muscle and fibers that are shaped like an umbrella

Q

Be able to distinguish body membranes by location (visceral, parietal) and by secretions (serous, mucous.)

A

Serous:
- Membranes that line body cavities and cover organs. Allows organs to slide without friction
- Viseral: covers the organ
- Parietal: lines cavity
ex. Pleura (lungs), Pericardium (heart), Peritoneum (abdominal cavity)

Serous secretions stay inside the body cavities to protect against friction. Mucous secretions protect the inside of the body against the outside environment

Epithelium - protection
- A special characteristic is the cellularity of this tissue with a distinct apical and basal side. These traits help with secretion, absorption, filtration, and more
- There is simple and stratified types of lairs while cell shape can also vary from squamous to cuboidal to colombnar

Endothelium, Mesothelium, and Pseudostratified
- These are simple epithelium with specialized functions.
- Simple squamous lines blood vessels to allow for nutrient and waste exchange
- Simple squamous lines the abdominal cavities and secretes lubricating fluid
- Does not look simple but it is because all cells are attached to the same base. Found in respiratory tract (cilia) to trap debris and pathogens by helping form mucus

Stratified epithelia
- Major role in protection with multiple layers
- Keratinized (water resistant)
- Unkeratinized (esophagus and vagina)

39
Q

Explain how cartilage grows.

A

Appositional growth
- Stem cells surrounding perichondrium divide and form new committed stem cells
- Differentiate into chondroblasts
- Chondroblasts form new matrix resulting in formation of chondrocytes and occupy their own lacuna
- New matrix produced peripherally thus appositional growth occurs
Interstitial growth
- Chondrocyte within Cartilage divide and two cells live in a lacuna
- Cells secrete matrix
- New matrix = pushed apart and development of their own lacuna
- New cells in their lacunae are called chondrocytes ( new matrix is interstitial)

41
Q

What are the functions of bones? Why are they considered organs?

A
  • Support movement and provide attachment sites for muscles
  • Blood formation (energy storage)
  • Mineral balance (calcium and phosphate
  • Protection
  • Bones are considered organs because there is various types of tissue working together to perform functions. They contain nerve and blood tissue as well as cartilage and endothelium

A

Matrix is composed of 35% organic and 65% mineral (calcium phosphate)
- Vascular and innervated
Organic- consists of collagen fibers and ground substance that help with bone strength and felxibility
Inorganic - consists of calcium phosphate that provide hardness to withstand force

45
Q

Be able to describe the process of bone lengthening, the events at the epiphyseal plates, and the hormones involved in bone deposition and bone reabsorption. How is testosterone different in its effects from growth hormone. What does an X-ray of a child’s long bone tell a radiologist? What does parathyroid hormone do to bones?

A
  • Bone collar formed. Cartilage deteriorates. periosteal bud and Spongy bone formation. formation of medullary cavity, secondary ossification sites appear. Ossification of epiphyses
  • At the end hyaline cartilage is only in epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages where growth occurs
  • Chondroblasts divide rapidly forming stacks and diaphyseal side of plate is overtaken by osteoblasts forming bone. results in diaphysis growth while epiphyseal plate thickness remains constant
  • Testosterone onsets puberty and signals beginning of the end of bone growth
  • X ray will show how much space exists between plates which can how much growth can be expected
  • Parathyroid increases osteoclasts and decreases osteoblasts
46
Q

What is the process of bone resorption? What cell type in involved? What is the process of bone deposition? What cell type is involved?

A
  • Releasing calcium from the bones
  • Osteoclasts
  • Putting calcium into the bones
  • Osteoblasts
47
Q

Know the bones which form the axial vs. the appendicular skeleton.

A

Axial - Skull, spine, and ribs
Appendicular - Legs and arms

48
Q

Name the fontanels, their purpose, and their average age of closure

A

The 6 fontanels present at birth are the anterior, posterior, and paired anterolateral and posterolateral fontanelles. The posterior fontanelle closes first at about 2 months. The anterolateral fontanelles normally close 3 months after birth. The posterolateral fontanelles close at the end of the first year, and the anterior fontanelle, which is the last to close, generally does so by 2 years.

Example: The fontanels are soft spots on a baby’s head that allow for the skull to expand during birth.

A
  1. Hematoma forms
  2. Fibrocartilaginous callus forms
  3. Bony callus forms
  4. Bone is remodeled but bony callus remains

Periosteum forms callus on outside of bone
Endosteum helps with resorption of bone inside and restoring normal structure

53
