Q

What are the functions of the following bones, joints and muscles?

A

Bones: structural support, calcium store, haematopoiesis and protection

Joints: facilitate movement, allow growth and stability

Muscles: generate movement and generate heat

Q

Annotate the structure of a bone.

A

Top arrow: outer cortex which is dense, strong and heavy compact (cortical).

Middle arrow: inner medulla which is more porous making it weaker but lighter. A spongy (trabecular/cancellous) bone.

The middle arrow: bone marrow, in some bones the marrow is the site of red & white blood cell production.

Q

A fibrous connective tissue sleeve covers the bone, what is the name of this connective tissue and how does it support the bone?

A

Periosteum - It is a fibrous connective tissue that is well vascularised which mainly supplies the compact bone. It is also well innervated which results in extreme pain during tearing of the periosteum as occurs during a fracture.

Q

How does the bone receive its nutrients?

A

The bone gets its supply of nutrients directly from the nutrient artery and vein, which carry blood to the medullary cavity supplying the bone marrow, spongy bone and deep compact bone.

Q

Describe the process of endochondral?

A

The development of bone begins by the initial small hyaline cartilage version, overtime the hyaline cartilage version grows and turns into bone (ossifies)

When the growth plate of hyaline cartilage finally ossifies, bone growth ceases – we have attained our final height.

Q

What happens to the vertebral column once the weight has transferred to hip bones?

A

The vertebral column along with the vertebrae become larger from superior to inferior to bear the weight however, as the weight has transferred to the hip, the vertebral column and the vertebrae become smaller again.

Q

what allows the passage of vertebral arteries to the head?

A

All vertebrae’s have a foramen in each transverse process this allows the vertebral arteries to make its way to the skull.

Q

The odontoid process allows what to happen?

A

The odontoid process is a projection from the second cervical vertebra known as the axis, this projection allows the atlas vertebrae to pivot.

22
Q

How is C7 vertebrae different from other vertebrae?

A

C7 is also known as vertebrae promins, the term promins means that it has a long spinous process. That is its distinguished feature compared to other vertebrae. The vertebrae promins can be palpable in 70% of people.

23
Q

What are the bones of the pectoral girdle?

A

2 scapulae and 2 clavicles

24
Q

What are the bones of the pelvic girdle?

A

2 hip bones and the sacrum

25
Q

Annotate the skeleton

A
26
Q

Bones of the facial skeleton is referred to as the?

A

Viscerocranium

27
Q

Bones of the cranial vault is referred to as the?

A

Neurocranium

28
Q

How is the neurocranium and Viscerocranium separated?

A

If a line was to be drawn, the line would extend from the superior to the orbits to the inferior to the ears

29
Q

What are the 3 types of muscles in the body?

A

Cardiac – involuntary

Smooth muscle – involuntary

Skeletal muscles – voluntary

30
Q

Annotate skeletal muscle

A
31
Q

Why do skeletal muscles look striated?

A

Due to overlapping actin and myosin

32
Q

How many grades are there when an injury occurs to a muscle?

A

There are 3 grades

Strained – grade 1

Torn – grade 2

Rupture – grade 3

33
Q

Annotate the skeletal muscle types?

A
34
Q

which type of tendon is a flattened tendon and is mostly associated with flat muscles?

A

An aponeurosis

35
Q

Do tendons attach muscle to muscle or muscle to bone?

A

Muscle to bone

36
Q

tendons usually have at least 2 points of attachment to bone what are the name of the attachments?

A

Origins – on one side of the joint, which the most proximal

Insertions – on the other side which is most distal

37
Q

how are muscles of facial expression attached?

A

Muscles for facial expression attach from bone to skin and soft tissue

38
Q

Where is the location of skeletal muscle found?

A

Skeletal muscle is usually found deep to deep fascia and is a tough fibrous connective tissue and is noticeable to its colour which is a shiny silver/grey colour.

39
Q

What is an intermuscular septum?

A

An intermuscular septum is what separates different muscles in to different compartments.

40
Q

Muscles that perform the protective reflexes are what type of muscles?

A

Skeletal

41
Q

What are the 3 types of joints?

A

Fibrous

Cartilaginous

Synovial

42
Q

There is a general compromise when it comes to joints, what is that compromise?

A

Increased mobility = decrease stability

Decreased mobility = increased stability

43
Q

There are 3 types of fibrous joints they are generally limited mobility and quite stable. What is the name of these 3 fibrous joints and give an example of where you would find them?

A
  1. Syndesmoses – is a fibrous membrane, you would find this joint between fibula and tibia
  2. Sutures – highly stable and found between bones of skull
  3. Gomphosis 0 very little movement and found in periodontal ligament
44
Q

There are two types of cartilaginous joints, what are they and give example as to where you would find them.

A
  1. Primary cartilaginous – found in long bone, allows ossification and fusion
  2. Secondary cartilaginous – strong, slightly moveable example is intervertebral discs.
45
Q

Synovial joints – learn the type of joints

A
46
Q

What are the typical features of synovial joints?

A

Ligaments

Attach bone to bone

Stand alone or thicken areas of the capsule

Synovial fluid

Produced by synovial membrane

Reduces friction

Shock absorber

Articular disc or Meniscus

Fibrocartilage

Joint support

Shock absorber

47
Q

Annotate the typical features of synovial joints

A
  1. two or more bones articulating with each other
  2. Articular surfaces are covered in hyaline
  3. Capsule wraps the joint
  4. Joint cavity
  5. Ligament
  6. Skeletal muscle along with tendon
  7. Bursae
