Skeletal System and Basic Anatomy Flashcards
Development by replacement of hyaline cartilage plate
Endochondral ossification
Long bones
Shaft composed of thick tube of compact bone that encloses the marrow cavity
Diaphysis
Two ends of bones expanded articular ends separated from shaft by epiphyseal plate during bone growth and composed of spongy bone surrounded by thin layer of compact bone
Epiphyses
Part of diaphysis adjacent to epiphyses, the growth zone between diaphysis and epiphyses during bone development
Metaphysis
Two layers of compact bone enclosing spongy bone and marrow space called diploe
Flat bones
Ribs, sternum, scapula, vault bones
Carpal and tarsal type of bone
Short
Skull, vertebrae, coxa type of bone
Mostly spongy enveloped by thin outer layer of compact bone
Irregular bone
Gradual softening of bone due to failure of bone to calcify because of lack of Vit D or renal tubular dysfunction
Osteomalacia
Decreased calcification of bone or reduced bone mass due to inadequate osteoid synthesis
Osteopenia
Age related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures of hip, vertebra, wrist
Bone resorption outweighs bone formation
Osteoporosis
Abnormally dense bone obliterating marrow cavity due to defective RESORPTION of immature bone
Osteopetrosis
Nerve supplying joint also supplies muscles that move the joint and skin covering the insertion of such muscles
Hilton’s law
Joined by fibrous tissue
No joint cavity
Permit little movement
Fibrous joint or Synarthroses
Ex: suture, syndesmoses
Connected by CT and found between flat bones of skull
Suture
Connected by fibrous CT
Occurs as inferior tibiofibular tympanostapedial syndesmoses
Syndesmoses
United by cartilage
No joint cavity
Cartilaginous joints
Ex: primary or synchondroses and secondary (symphyses)
United by hyaline cartilage
No movement
GROWS in length
Inclides epiphyseal cartilage plates (epi and dia) and sphenooccipital and manubriosternal
Primary cartilaginous Joints
Synchondroses
Joined by fibrocartilage and are slightly moveable joints
Include pubic and intervertebral disks
Secondary Cartilaginous Joints
Symphyses
Permit great degree of free movement
Has joint cavity, articular hyaline cartilage, synovial membrane producing synovial fluid and articular capsule
Synovial joint
Diarthrodial
Two flat articular surfaces allowing simple GLIDING or SLIDING or one bone over the other
Ex:
Plane Gliding joints
Proximal tibiofibular, intertarsal, intercarpal, intermetacarpal, CMC, SC, AC
Resemble door hinge
Allow flexion and extension
Ex:
Hinge joint
Ginglymus
Elbow, ankle, IP
Formed by central bony pivot turning within a bony ring and allow only rotation
Ex:
Pivot joint
Trochoid
Superior and interior radioulnar joint
Atlanto Axial joint
Two convex condyles articulating two concave condyles
Ellipsoidal articulation
Allow flexion, extension
Ex:
Condylar joint
Ellipsoidal
radiocarpal, metacarpophalangeal, tibiofemoral and Atlanto-Occipital joint
Resemble saddle on horse’s back and allow flexion, extension, abduction and adduction and circumduction but no axial rotation
Ex:
Saddle joint
Sellar
CMC joint of thumb
Femur and patella
