73
Q

Loose connective tissue

A
  • cells (fibroblasts - makes collagen)
  • ECM a (collagen fibres/ground substance - proteoglycans)
    Looseness depends on density of fibers
    Eg skin: limited stretch
74
Q

Collagen fibres

A

77
Q

Cartilage - connective tissue

A
  • cells (chondrocytes- specific function to make cartilage)
  • ECM (collagen fibres/modified proteoglycans/no blood vessels- hence doesn’t heal well, nutrients by diffusion through matrix)
    Largely aqueous
    Eg surfaces of joints-shock absorption

95
Q

As child grows older (bone growth)

A

Ossification increases

Growth plate decreases

96
Q

Epiphyseal plate

A
  • cartilage grows through division of chondrocytes (secretion of ECM)
  • mature enlarged chondrocytes die (cavities in matrix)
  • ossification as blood vessels migrate into spaces (fibroblasts differentiate into osteoblasts)
97
Q

A

There can be no more bone growth, but only bone remodelling

98
Q

Bone growth in length

A
  • growth plate
99
Q

Bone growth by width/moulding

A
  • osteoblasts in periosteum increase width

- osteoclasts mould the bone shape and form the medullary cavity

100
Q

Homeostasis of bone

A
  • bone turnover throughout adulthood largely as a consequence of the role of bone in calcium homeostasis
  • approx 10% turnover per year
  • controlled by PTH which activates osteoclasts
101
Q

Osteoporosis

A
  • bone pathology caused by abnormal bone turnover (excess osteoclasts over osteoblasts activity)
  • compact bone thinner
  • cancellous bone porous
102
Q

A

Nerves all around bone (pain) protects us from further damage

  • haematoma/capillaries(bleeding around the break)
  • phagocytes (sets structure for cells that will repair)
105
Q

Stage 2 of fracture healing

A
  • blood brings fibroblasts to site
  • condroblasts comes and makes cartilage (fills up area of break)
  • soft callus is formed (growing cells) - fibrocartilaginous callus
106
Q

Stage 3 of fracture healing

A

Much like bone growth

  • bony callus
  • osteoblasts
107
Q

Stage 4 of fracture healing

A

Remodelling

108
Q

Pseudoarthrosis

A

Due to failure to set the bone properly

109
Q

Types of fractures

A
  • closed/simple (fracture stays in place)
  • open/compound (sometimes open wound)
  • green stick (not fully broken all the way through)
110
Q

Osteon

Lined up cylinders in compact bone

A
Big cylinders of bone
Layers of osteon=lamellae 
Blood vessels go through the middle
Canaliculi = small canals that go from side of cylinder to blood vessel
Osteocytes make up osteons
111
Q

Trabeculae

A
