Lower and upper extremity Articulations Powerpoint Flashcards
6/4/19
Osteon/Haversion canal
Hollow tubes in cortical bone that serves as passage for the vessels to supply the structure
Lamella
One of the layers of an osteon/havarsion system that radiate outward from the canal center
Lacunae
A hole in hydroxapatite matrix that stores osteocytes (inactive form of osteoblasts)
Osteocytes
Inactive osteoblast cells that reside in lacunae in the matrix of bone
Osteoblast
Functionally lay down hydroxapatite matrix forming cortical bone, stimulated by calcitonin and inhibited by PTH
Osteoclast
Functionally remove hydroxapatite matrix by removing cortical bone via phagocytosis, inhibited by calcitonin
Low blood calcium causes release of ____, high blood calcium causes release of ______
PTH, calcitonin
Hypercalcemia
Excess blood Ca2+, results in fatigue, renal failure, cardiac arrhythmia
Osteomalacia (rickets disease in children)
Caused by inadequate vit. D intake (and treated with supplement), causes weakness and bone pain
Osteoperosis
Caused by failure to form new bone, no symptoms until fractures, diagnosed via dexa scan and treated with exercise and meds
Ligament definition and function
Attachment of tissue from bone to bone, function to stabilize the joint and to facilitate the desired motion set by the ligament’s orientation
Sacrotuberous ligament
Insertion: Sacrum to ischial tuberosity
Function: Houses a nerve, intertwined with the sacrospinous ligament
Sacrospinous ligament
Insertion: Sacrum to ischial spine
Function: Anterior to the sacrotuberous ligament, forms the greater sciatic foramen, functionally prevents the ileum from sliding posterior to sacrum, intertwined with sacrotuberous ligament
Sacroiliac ligament
Insertion: Sacrum to Iliac
Function: Tightly intermingle the sacrum with the ileum
Acetabular labrum
Insertion: Femur head to acetabolum of pelvic bone
Function: Tightly wrap around the ball and socket joint of the femur with the pelvic girdle
