30
Q

list the 2 different types of bones

A
  1. compact

2. spongy

31
Q

compact bone

A
  • osteons

- resist forces

32
Q

spongy bone

A
  • osseous tissue
  • trabeculae (irregular lattice)
  • resists from all directions
33
Q

structures of an osteon (3)

A
  1. central canal
  2. concentric circles
  3. osteocytes
34
Q

osteon - central canal

A

contain blood vessels and nerves

35
Q

osteon - concentric circles

A

hollow cylinders

36
Q

osteon - osteocytes

A

lie between the cylinders of the matrix

37
Q

list 3 steps of fracture treatment

A
  1. reduction
  2. immobilisation
  3. rehabilitation
38
Q

closed fracture

A

bone does not break the skin

39
Q

open fracture

A

bone protrudes skin

40
Q

greenstick fracture

A

incomplete break

41
Q

compression fracture

A

bone crushed

42
Q

spiral fracture

A

ragged bone as a result of excessive twisting

43
Q

epiphyseal fracture

A

bone breaks along epiphyseal plate

44
Q

transverse fracture

A

bone breaks along shaft

45
Q

depressed fracture

A
  • broken bone pressed inwards
46
Q

avulsion fracture

A

bone fragments away from main bone (usually at sight of tendon or ligament attachment)

47
Q

pathological fracture

A

caused by disease that weakens bones

48
Q

colles fracture

A

break at distal end of radius

49
Q

scaphoid fracture

A

common carpal bone fracture

50
Q

potts fracture

A

fracture of both tibia and fibula

51
Q

list the 4 steps of fracture repair

A
  1. HAEMATOMA FORMS
    (clot forms)
  2. FIBROCARTILLAGINOUS CALLUS FORMS
    (fibroblasts produce collagen, chondrocytes produce collagen, splints broken end)
  3. BONY CALLUS FORMS
    (converted to spongy, bone ends united)
  4. BONE REMODELLING
    (compact bone replaces spongy, osteoclasts remove excess bone)
52

  2. amphiarthosis
  3. diarthosis
53
Q

synarthosis

54
Q

amphiarthosis

A
  1. fibrous
  2. cartilaginous
  3. synovial
57
Q

fibrous joint

A
  • no joint cavity

- immovable/slightly moveable

58
Q

cartilaginous joint

A
  • no joint cavity

- immovable/slightly moveable

59
Q

synovial joint

A
  • joint cavity present

- freely moveable

60

A
  1. articular capsule
  2. joint cavity
  3. synovial fluid
  4. articular cartilage
  5. reinforcing ligament
61
Q

synovial structures - articular capsule

A
  • surrounds entire joint

- 2 layers = outer fibrous and inner synovial which produces fluid

62
Q

synovial structures - joint cavity

A
  • separates articulating bones + contains fluid
63
Q

synovial structures - synovial fluid

A
  • shock absorbs
  • reduces friction
  • circulates nutrients
  • removes waste
64
Q

synovial structures - articular cartilage

A
  • covers ends of bones
  • shock absorption
  • reduces friction
65
Q

synovial structures - reinforcing ligament

A

stabilises joints

66
Q

list the 4 additional structures of a synovial joint

A
  • menisci
  • muscle tendons
  • bursae/tendon sheaths
  • fat pads
67
Q

additional structures of a synovial joint - menisci

A

discs of fibrocartilage

  • stabilises
  • shock absorbs
  • reduces friction
68
Q

additional structures of a synovial joint- muscle tendons

A

stabilises

69
Q

additional structures of a synovial joint- bursae/tendon sheaths

A

bags of synovial fluid

- reduces friction

70
Q

additional structures of a synovial joint - fat pads

A

protect joints + structures

71

list the the types of synovial joints

A
  • plane e.g. intercarpal
  • pivot e.g. atlas axis
  • condylar e.g. wrist
  • hinge e.g. elbow
  • saddle e.g. carpometacarpal joint of thumb
  • ball + socket e.g. shoulder
