SKELETON + BONE + JOINT + MUSCLE Flashcards
The human skeleton is divided into ?
- axial skeleton
- appendicular
Parts of axial skeleton
- skull
- ribs
- sternum
- vertebral column
Parts of appendicular skeleton
- Bones of upper limb plus shoulder girdle
- bones of lower limb plus pelvic girdle
Structure of vertebral column
- seven cervical vertebrae
- twelve thoracic vertebrae
- five lumber vertebrae
- five sacral vertebrae
- three to five Coccygeal vertebrae fuses to form coccyx
Bones of the upper limb
- bones of the arm»_space; humerus
- bones of forearm»_space; radius and ulna
- bones of hand»_space; carpal bones + metacarpal bones + phalanges
The shoulder/pectoral girdle
- the clavicle anteriorly
- the scapula posteriorly
Bones of the lower limb
- bones of thigh»_space; femur
- bones of leg»_space; tibia and fibula
- bones of foot»_space; tarsal bones + metatarsal bones + phalanges
The pelvic girdle
- the right and left hip bones which articulates with the sacrum “ axial skeleton “ posteriorly by synovial plane joint called sacroiliac , and anteriorly by a secondary cartilaginous joint called symphysis pubis
Types of bones according to their morphology
- short bone»_space; carpal and tarsal bones
- long bone»_space; femur
- flat bone»_space; parietal bone “ bone in the vault of the skull “
- irregular bone»_space; vertebrae
- sutural bone»_space; between sutural joints at the skull
- pneumatic bone»_space; frontal and sphenoid bones
- sesamoid bone»_space; patella
Arterial supply of the bone
- periosteal arteries
- arteries of the attached muscles
- nutrient artery > it is a large blood vessel which enters the shaft of bone near its middle through the nutrient foramen
- metaphyseal arteries
- epiphysial arteries
Parts of long bone
- each end is called “ epiphysis “ > formed of spongy bone
- it is covered with “ articular cartilage “
- the shaft is called the “ diaphysis “
- the epiphysis is separated from the shaft by “ epiphyseal cartilage “
- the region of the shaft close to epiphyseal cartilage is called “ metaphysis “
- the shaft encloses “ medullary cavity “
- the cavity is lined with a membrane called “ endosteum “
- medullary cavity contains “ yellow marrow / fat “ and “ red marrow / blood forming cells “ it is the only site of hematopoiesis in adults
- the shaft covered with “ periostum “
- periosteum contains “ blood vessels / nerves / osteoblasts “
Ossification of the bone
Intra ossification
- they are centers of ossification appear in connective tissue “membrane” transform into a bone»_space; this type of ossification occurs in clavicles and skull vault
Cartilaginous
- they are centres of ossification appear in connective tissue “cartilage” transform into a bone»_space; this type of ossification occurs in the most bones of the body
Joint
It is the site of meeting of two or more bones
Classification of joints
- fibrous joints
- cartilaginous joints
- synovial joints
Fibrous joint
- the articular bones are connected by strong fibrous tissue and there is no movement “ synatgroses “
- e.g. gomphosis which articulate the tooth with mandible or maxilla + syndesmosis which articulate the fibula with tibia + sutures of the skull
Cartilaginous joint
- Bones connected by hyaline cartilage»_space; epiphyses of long bones
- bones connected by fibrocartilage»_space; joints of the middle line “ symphysis pubis “ or “ intervertebral disc “
Typical Synovial Joint
- The articular surface are covered by “ hyaline cartilage “
- the joint is enveloped by a fibrous “ capsule “
- the capsule is occasionally thickened in certain parts forming “ capsular ligaments “
- inside the capsule there is “intra articular ligaments “
- the inner surface of the capsule is lined by a thin “ synovial membrane “
- the synovial membrane covers also the non-articular parts of the intracapsule bones but leaves the articular surfaces uncovered
- the synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid
Structure which may be found inside the cavity of synovial joint
- articular disc which divide the joint cavity into two compartment
- menisci “ semilunar cartilage “
- cruciate ligaments “ ligament inside the knee joint “
- tendon sheets
Compartments of synovial joint
- meniscus fibrocartilage which improve the fit of the articulating bones to increase stability
- nerves plus vessels
- extra capsular and intra capsular reinforcing ligaments
- internal synovial membrane which produce viscous synovial fluid to lubricates and nourishes
- external dance connective tissue as fibrous capsule
- synovial joint cavity holding the synovial fluid
- articular hyaline cartilage covers the end of each articulation bone
Associated structure of synovial joint
- flat fibrous sac within synovial membrane lining called BURSAE
- elongated bursae that wraps around tendons called TENDON SHEET
Factors affecting range of motion at synovial joint
- Structure and shape of the articulating bone
- strength and tension of joint ligament
- arrangement and tension of muscles
- contact with soft body parts
- hormones as relaxin which relaxis symphasis pubis
- disuse as the lack of movement after immobilization
Factors that affect joint stability
- muscle tone
- ligament
- fit of articular surface
Classification of synovial joint
- uni axial»_space; hinge joint + pivot joint
- bi axial»_space; ellipsoid “ condyloid “ joint + saddle joint + condylar joint
- multi axial joint»_space; ball and socket joint
- Plane joint»_space; e.x carpal bone
- compound joint»_space; e.x tempero mandibular joint
Uni axial joints
- movements occur around one axis only
Hinge joint
Movement occur around a transverse axis allowing only flextion and extension»_space; elbow joint
Pívot joint
Movement occur around a vertical axis allowing rotation only»_space; superior and inferior radio-ulnar joints
Bi axial joint
Movement occur around two axis horizontal and vertical
Ellipsoid / condyloid joints
Oval and convex articular surface , with other oval and concave articular surface
> > permits flexion and extension movement in one axis»_space; while in the other axis there is a adduction and abduction movements .
> > wrist joint , metacarpo phalangeal joint .
