Q

What is the ligament of the head of the femur?

A

A flat band of delicate connective tissue that attaches at one end to the fovea of the head of the femur and at the other end to the acetabular fossa. It carries a small branch of the obturator artery, which contributes to the blood supply of the head of the femur.

Q

How are the fibres of these ligaments orientated?

A

in a spiral fashion around the hip so that they become taught when the hip is extended
this stabilises the joint and reduces the amount of energy required to maintain standing

What is the homeostatic balance of bone remodelling disturbed by?

A

diet and lifestyle (rickets)
mechanical factors (disuse)
endocrine disorders

34

41
Q

what is a demographic transition?

A

transition from high birth and death rates as a country develops from pre-industrial to an industrialised economic system

42
Q

what is epidemiology?

A

the science and practise which describes and explains disease patterns in populations

43
Q

what are epidemiological transitions?

A

44
Q

What is meant by an ageing population?

A

it is a global phenomenon occurring based in low and middle income countries. In scotland older people form an increasingly large part of our population

people are entitled to work, in a way that suits them
older people have access to IT and internet

Q

What are the main functions of the musculoskeletal system?

A

enables efficient limb movement
acts as protection
serves as reservoir for calcium
provides environment for marrow

60
Q

What occurs in bone ageing?

A

reduced bone tissue, relative decline in trophic factors favouring osteoclastic activity. diminished differentiation of bone marrow stem cells

61
Q

What occurs in chondroid tissue ageing?

A

reduced ability to form large hydrophilic complexes resulting in decreased swelling pressure, predisposing to OA and IVD degradation

62
Q

What occurs in the ageing of ligaments?

A

altered collagen synthesis leading to reduced elasticity

63
Q

what happens as muscles age?

A

loss of muscle mass and decreased power due to loss of fibre number and fibre atrophy

64
Q

What is sarcopenia?

A

a syndrome associated by progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength associated with ageing, with risk of adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poor quality of life and death

65

what are factors which affect sarcopenia?

A

age
activity
disease
nutrition
