Musculoskeletal Disorders Pt. 1 Flashcards
What are the structural components of osseous bone?
Bone matrix and osteocytes
What are the types of osseous bone?
Compact bone and trabecular bone
What is the function of bone?
Protect organs, levers for movement, houses hematopoietic cells, and calcium/phosphate ion sink
What are the components of bone?
Bone matrix and osseous cells
What are the three major types of mature bone cells?
Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
What bone cell removes and remodels bone matrix?
Osteoclasts
What bone cells secrete new bone matrix (ossification)?
Osteoblasts
What bone cells surround themselves with bone matrix and maintain the surrounding bone matrix?
Osteocytes
What is the functional unit of the compact bone?
Osteon
What part of compact bone contains nerves and vessels?
Central canal
What are the thin branches of bone that form an open network?
Trabeculae
What is located between the trabeculae in spongy bone?
Red marrow
What is the continuous process of bone resorption by osteoclasts, followed by a period of repair during which new bone tissue is synthesized by osteoblasts?
Bone remodeling
What happens when bone catabolism overtakes bone anabolism due to inadequate Ca+2 intake, increase osteoclast activity and increased parathyroid activity?
Bone degeneration.
What is the body’s reserve for many inorganic ions?
Bone mineral
What is critical for neuron impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and anticipated as a cofactors in many enzymatic reactions?
Calcium
What is secreted into the blood in response to increasing Ca2+ levels?
Calcitonin (thyroid)
What is secreted into the blood in response to decreasing Ca2+ levels?
Parathyroid hormone or PTH
Parathyroid hormone has effects on what 3 target organs?
Kidneys, GI tract, osteoclasts
Thyroid gland secreting calcitonin has effects on what target organs?
Kidney, and osteoclasts
What is the thick layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds an entire muscle?
Epimysium
what is the layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds a fascicle?
Perimysium
What is a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers?
Fascicle
What is a thin layer of areolar tissue surrounding a single muscle fiber?
Endomysium
What skeletal muscle fiber is equivalent to the plasma membrane?
Sarcolemma
What skeletal muscle fiber is equivalent to the cytoplasm?
Sarcoplasm
What skeletal muscle fiber is equivalent to the muscle specific version of the endoplasmic reticulum that stores Ca2+?
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
What are cylinders consisting of a bundle of protein filaments called myofilaments?
Myofibrils
