Lecture1 Flashcards
Four Types of Tissue
epithelial (skin), connective (bone and cartilage), muscle, nervous
Skeletal Function
support, protection, movement, hemopoiesis, mineral resevoir
How does bone act as an endocrine organ?
releases minerals (calcium, magnesium, phospohrus)
Reasons for Bone Remodeling
reaction to stress (negative and positive), age
Number of Bones in Adult vs. Child
born = 270, adult = 206 (bones fuse during maturation)
Types of Joints
fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Fibrous Joint
held together by fibrous tissue, no synovial cavity, no motion, ex. Bones of skull
Cartilaginous Joint
no synovial cavity, held together by cartilage, slight movement, ex. Intervertebral joints, ribs
Synovial Joint
synovial cavity and articular cartilage, secretes fluid, free movement within allowable limits based on the shape of the joint, ex. Shoulder, knee
Gliding Joint
one bone slides over another, gliding motion, ex. Sternum, clavicle, carpal, tarsal
Hinge Joint
spool-shaped process in a concave socket, flexion/extension, ex. Fingers, elbow, knee
Pivot Joint
arched process fitting around a peg-like process, rotation, ex. Atlas/axis
Condyloid Joint
oval condyle of one bone fitted into an elliptical cavity of another bone, motion in two planes at right angles, ex. Radiocarpal joints
Saddle Joint
one bone saddle shaped the other like a rider (yeehaw!), flexion/extension and abduction/adduction, ex. Carpometacarpal joints of thumb, SC, ankle
Ball and Socket Joint
ball-like surface of one bone fitted into cup-like surface of other, rotation, widest ROM, ex. Shoulder, hip
Cartilage
connective tissue composed of chondrocyte cells in an extracellular matrix aka ground substance
Ground Substance
chondroitin sulfate with collagen (water, spongy properties, shock absorption), and elastin
Types of Cartilage
hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic
