Outcome 5-Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Functions of bones
Shape
support
protection
movement
electrolyte balance
blood production
acid-base balance
Function of the skeletal System
Supporting soft tissues
protection
serve as levers to produce movement
Classifications of bones by shape
Long bones
Short bones
Flat bones
Irregular bones
Sesamoid bones
Long bones
Greater in length than width
- femur
- tibula
- arm
Short bones
Acute shape, equal in length and Width
- bones in WRIST and TARSAL
Flat bones
Generally thin
- rib cage
Irregular bones
Complex shapes
-vertebrae/spine
-frontal bone/skull
Sesamoid bones
Bones in the knee
- patella
Parts of a long bone
Epiphysis
Diaphysis
Articular Cartilage
Medullary cavity
Endosteum
Periosteum
Epiphysis
End part of a long bone
Diaphysis
Shaft of central part of a long bone
Articular cartilage
Tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints
Medullary cavity
Centre of the bone,
Hallow part of bone that contain bone marrow
Endosteum
Lining INSIDE of the bone
Periosteum
Lining OUTSIDE of the bone
Three types bone cells
Osteoblasts- help form bone
Osteoclasts- dissolve unwanted or healthy bones
Osteocytes- mature osteoblasts that dissolve bone and deposit new bone
- contribute to bone maintenance and the regulation of calcium and phosphate in the blood
Compact bone locations
Shafts of long bones
Outer surfaces of bones
Cancellous (spongy) bone locations
Ends of long bones
Middle of most other bones
Compact bone anatomy
Osteon
Lamellae
Volkmanns canals
Lacunae
Canaliculi
Osteon
basic structural unit of bone composed of the lamellae and Haversian canal
Lamellae
compact bone in layers arranging in rings around a Haversian canal
- blood vessels and nerves pass through the Haversian canals
Volkmann’s canals
Horizontal/transverse passageways that connect the Haversian canals
- transports blood and nutrients from the bones exterior to the oseocytes
Lacunae
Moon shaped
Gaps between the rings of the lamellae that contains osteocytes
Canaliculi
Microscopic passageways that connect the lamellae to each other
What is Endochondral ossification?
The process of cartilage turning to bone during fetal development
Where does bone lengthening occur?
Epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal line
A line of spongy bone where the epiphyseal plate ‘closes’ and bone growth stops
When we grow to our maximum length
Three main parts of a Joint
Fibrous joints (synarthroses)
- not movable
- connects bone with dense fibrous connect tissue
Ex: Skull
Cartilaginous joints (amphiarthroses)
-slightly movable
- unite bones cartilage
Ex: Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis
Synovial joints (diarthroses)
- freely movable
-mostly found in limbs
Ex: Elbow, Hip joint
Synovial joint structure
Joint capsule
Synovial membrane; linking the synovial fluid
Joint cavity; little space
Articular cartilage; end of the bone
Ligaments
