Define Movement?

A

Most skeletal muscles attach to bones; when they contract, they pull on bones to produce movement. (Articulation).

Q

Define mineral and growth factor storage?

A

Bones maintain large reserve of calcium and phosphate ions.
Bone tissue stores several mineral, especially calcium and phosphorus, which contribute to the strength of bone. Bone tissue stores about 99% of the body’s calcium. On demand, bone releases mineral into the blood to maintain critical mineral balances (homeostasis) and to distribute the minerals to other parts of the body.

Q

Define blood cell formation?

A

The hollow spaces in some bones contains red blood marrow cells, which are produced.
Within certain bones, a connective tissue called red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, a process called hemopoiesis. Red bone marrow consists of developing blood cells, adipocytes, fibroblasts, and macrophages within network of reticular fibers. It is present in developing bones of the fetus and in some adult bones, such as the hip (pelvic) bones, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, skull, and ends of bones of the humerus and femur. in a newborn, all bone marrow is red and is involves in hemopoiesis, with increasing age, much of the bone marrow changes from red to yellow.

Q

Define Hormone Production?

A

Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system. Endocrine tissues are specialised to produce such hormones, which have genes switched on according the the hormones they were designed to produce. The protein synthesis pages in the cell biology tutorial go into depth about protein production, which is relevant here as hormones consist of proteins.

Q

What is the Nasal Cartilage and what component is it under?

A

The lateral cartilage (upper lateral cartilage) is situated below the inferior margin of the nasal bone, and is flattened, and triangular in shape.
Skeletal Cartilage

17
Q

What is the Intervertebral Discs and what component are they under?

A 
Intervertebral discs (or intervertebral fibrocartilage) lie between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Each disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, and acts as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together. Their role as shock absorbers is crucial.
Skeletal Cartilage
18
Q

What is the Menisci of knee and what component is it under?

A

A meniscus is a piece of cartilage found where two bones meet (joint space). Menisci (plural of meniscus) protect and cushion the joint surface and bone ends. In the knee, the crescent-shaped menisci are positioned between the ends of the upper (femur) and lower (tibia) leg bones.
Skeletal Cartilage

19
Q

Look at the skeleton on page 2 of the Notes

A

Shows the difference between the axial and appendicular divisions are
Where all of the cartilages are located.

20
Q

In bone anatomy, what are the two types of bones?

A
  1. Compact Bone

2. Spongy Bone

21
Q

What is the compact bone?

A

External layer
Dense and smooth
Solid to the naked eye

22
Q

What is spongy bone?

A

Inner layer
Honeycomb of small, needle-like or flat pieces called trabeculae
Within the trabecular of living humans, the red or yellow bone marrow can be found

23
Q

Look at page 5 in notes to see what the spongy bone and compact bone look like

A

See the difference between the two types of bones

24
Q

What are the four classifications of bones?

A
  1. Long Bones
  2. Short Bones
  3. Flat Bones
  4. Irregular bones
25
Q

How are the long bones classified?

A

Longer than they are wide
Has a shaft and two ends
Examples: Humerus, femur, tibia, fibula, and phalanges

26
Q

How are the short bones classified?

A 
Roughly cube shaped
Vary in size and number by individual 
Examples: carpals, tarsals
Sesamoid is a specific short binge located within a tendon
Ex: Patella
27
Q

How are the flat bones classified?

A

Thin, flattened, and usually bit curved

Examples: sternum, scapulae, ribs, most skull bones

28
Q

How are the irregular bones classified?

A

Complicated shapes
Does not fit into the other three groups
Examples: Hip bones, vertebrae

29
Q

Know the anatomy of the long bone?

A

Picture is located on page 6 of notes
Key terms: Articular cartilage, spongy bone, epiphyseal line, periosteum, compact bone, medullary cavity, proximal epiphysis, diaphysis, and distal epiphysis

30
Q

What is the bone formation?

A
  • All bones below the base of the skull (except the clavicle) form by endochandral ossification.
  • starting during the second month as a human embryo, the hyaline cartilage models are formed into bones.
  • Formation begins with a primary ossification center:
    - blood vessels penetrate hyaline covering, and convert it into a vascularized periosteum
    - osteoblasts (bone forming cells) formed, and ossification can begin
31
Q

What is the process of bone formation?

Look at page 7 in the notes for diagram on the formation of bones.

A
  1. Bone collar forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model.
  2. Cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and the develops cavities.
  3. The periosteal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy bone forms.
  4. The diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms. Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses.
  5. The epiphyses ossify. When completed, hyaline cartilage remains only in the epiphyseal plates and Articular cartilages.
32
Q

Bone Growth
How does bones grow?
Look at picture on page 7 of notes

A
  • Bone growth occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
  • The cells divide quickly, pushing the epiphysis away from the diaphysis.
  • The cells closest to the diaphysis become part of the ossification zone.
33
Q

Bone Modeling
How are bones remodeled?
Look at the picture on page 8 of notes

A
  • The epiphyseal ends are continuously remodeled to maintain proper proportioning between the diaphysis and the epiphysis
  • Involved bone formation and bone resorption.
34
Q

What are three types of fractures?

A
  1. Spiral Fracture
  2. Epiphyseal Fracture
  3. Comminuted Fracture
35
Q

What is a Spiral Fracture?

A
  • Excessive twisting force on the bone

- Most common in sports fractures

36
Q

What is a Epiphyseal Fracture?

A

-Epiphysis separates from diaphysis

37
Q

What is a Comminuted Fracture?

A
  • Bone fragments in three or more pieces

- Common in older individuals whose bones are more brittle

38
Q

What type of fracture was the youtube example that we watched in class of?

A

Kevin Ware Injury
Classified by is the position is placed or displaced
If it is an incomplete or complete fracture
If it is a compound/closed simple fracture

39
Q

Bone Healing

How do bones heal?

A
  • A fracture first requires a reduction, or realignment of the broken ends
  • Once reduced, immobilization via cast or traction is needed.
  • Healing of a simple, small or medium bone can take 6-8 weeks. It will take linger in older people, and in larger, weight bearing bones.
40
Q

What are the steps to bone healing?

Look at the diagram on page 10 to see how the bones heal.

A
  1. A hematoma forms
  2. Fibrocartilaginous callus forms
  3. Bony callus forms (turns into spongy bone).
  4. Bone remodeling occurs
