Q

What are the steps of intramembranous ossification?

A
  1. primary OC forms - osteoblasts secrete ECM
  2. calcification
  3. formation of trabeculae (ECM –> trabecular)

Q

What are the steps of endochondral ossification?

A
  1. development of CARTILAGE model
  2. GROWTH of cartilage model
  3. development of PRIMARY OC
  4. development of medullary cavity
  5. development of SECONDARY OC
  6. formation of ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND EPIPHYSEAL PLATE
18
Q

What are the two major events of longitudinal bone growth?

A
  1. interstitial growth of cartilage on epiphyseal side of epiphyseal plate
  2. replacement of cartilage on diaphysial side w bone thru endochondral ossification
19
Q

What are 3 factors affecting bone growth and remodelling

A
  1. vitamins and minerals
  2. exercise
  3. hormones
20
Q

What are the 3 types of cartilage, with examples?

A
  1. articular (surrounding bony articular surfaces)
  2. elastic (ear)
  3. fibrocartilage (discs, meniscus)
21
Q

What are 3 types of joints?

A
  1. synovial (motile) - joint/articular cavity
  2. fibrous (solid) - united w fibrous tissue
  3. cartilaginous (solid) - hyaline or fibrocartilage
22
Q

What are the 3 types of fibrous joints?

A
  1. suture joints (skull)
  2. gomphosis joints (teeth)
  3. sydesmosis joints (prox. radioulnar joint)
23
Q

What are the 2 types of cartilaginous joints?

A
  1. synchondrosis joints - primary cartilaginous/hyaline cartilage (epiphyseal plate)
  2. symphysis - secondary cartilaginous/fibrocartilage (pubic symphysis)
24
Q

What are the 6 types of synovial joints?

A

MNEMONIC - Prince Harry Pulled Charles’ Saddle Bag
1. plane joint (intercarpal)
2. hinge joint (elbow)
3. pivot joint (prox. radioulnar joint)
4. condyloid joint (metacarpophalangeal)
5. saddle joint (carpometacarpal)
6. ball and socket joint (shoulder)

25
Q

What are the 4 key accessory structures?

A
  1. articular discs and menisci - absorb compression force
  2. labrum - deepens socket
  3. fat pads - space filler, spreads synovial fluid
  4. bursae and tendon sheaths - reduce friction
26
Q

What are the 3 types of muscle?

A
  1. skeletal muscle
  2. cardiac muscle
  3. smooth muscle
27
Q

What are 4 properties of muscular tissue?

A
  1. electrical excitability
  2. contractility
  3. extensibility
  4. elasticityW
28
Q

What are the 4 types of fascicle patterns?

A
  1. circular
  2. convergent
  3. parallel
  4. pennate
29
Q

What is a circular fascicle?

A

fascicle arranged into concentric rings. surrounds body openings. eg. orbicularis oris

30
Q

What is a convergent fascicle?

A

broad origin, converging to a single tendon of insertion. STRONGEST CONTRACTION eg. pectorals major

31
Q

What is a parallel fascicle?

A

running parallel to the long axis of muscle, greatest shortening of length during contraction eg. sartorius (straplike), biceps brachii (fusiform)

32
Q

What is a pennate fascicle? (3 types)

A

short and attach obliquely
1. unipennate (fascicles insert ONE side of tendon) eg. extensor digitorum longus
2. bipennate (fascicles insert onto tendon from OPPOSITE SIDES) eg. rectus femoris
3. multipennate (fascicles insert onto tendon from MANY DIRECTIONS) eg. deltoid

Q

What are ligaments?

A

fibrous connections BONE TO BONE
blend w periosteum of bones at joint
