Test 2 Flashcards
What part of the bone forms joints
Epiphysis
What is the shaft of the bone called
Diaphysis
What is the difference between proximal and distal epiphysis
Proximal - closer to mid
Distal - far away from mid
What type of bone do the ends of the bone contain
Spongy bone
What type of bone does the shaft contain
Compact bone
What two characteristics does compact bone have
resistence to:
pressure
tension
What is in the center of the bone shaft, what is it composed of, what does it contain
Bone Marrow Cavity
Spongy bone
Bone Marrow tissue
What does the bone marrow tissue produce
red blood cells
white blood cells
platelets
What are the two types of bone marrow and what do they do
Red Bone Marrow - red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets
Yellow bone marrow - abundant fats
What happens to the bone marrow as we grow older
More red bone marrow turns into yellow bone marrow
Where is red bone marrow commonly found
In the central locations of the body
What lines the bone marrow cavity
Endosteum - delicate connective tissue
What lines the compact bone
Periosteum - tougher connective tissue
What lines the epiphysis’s
Articular cartilage
What merges with the Periosteum
Tendons and Ligaments
What are the name of the zones of hyaline cartilage called
Epiphyseal lines
What is rickets and Osteomalacia and what is the difference
They are both caused by insufficient vitamin D or calcium that leads to weak bones
Rickets is in children
Osteomalacia is in adults
What can cause abnormal growth in bone marrow
Leukemia
Name some factors which can cause weaker bone tissue
Smoking Aging Drugs Physical activity Hormoes
What forms concentric layers of bone tissue and what are they layers called
Matrix of compact bone
Lamella
What do the lamella surround
Haversian Canal
Havers discovered
What 4 thing does this canal possess
Arteries
Veins
Nerves
Lymphatic vessels
What type of tissue is bone tissue
It is living
What is the cementing substance that which surrounds the bone cells
Osteocytes
Where are these cells found
In the Lacunae
What joins these cavities together
Canaliculi
List the embryologic stages of bone productions
- In the embryo all is hyaline cartilage
- Eventually replaced by disorganised bone tissue
- Later replaced by organised bone tissue
What happens to bone production when we fracture a bone
Goes through the embryologic stages again
The lymphatic vessels in the bone can lead to
cancer
How many bones are in the skull
22
8 cranial
14 facial
List all 8 cranial bones
What is their main functions
1 Frontal bone 2 Parietal bones 2 Temporal bones 1 Occipital bone 1 Sphenoid bone 1 Ethmoid bone
To protect the brain and sensory organs
What is special about the frontal bone
It is origanally 2 bones which fuse toether to form 1
What are the lines of fusion called
Sutures
Which is the only bone that doesnt have a suture
Mandible
Name each suture and where it is located
Coronal Suture - between the frontal and parietal bones
Lambdoidal suture - between the parietal and occipitical bone
Squamosal suture - between parietal and temporal bone
List the facial bones
2 Zygomatic bone (cheek) 2 Maxilla 2 Lacrimal bone (tears) 2 Nasal bone 2 Inferior Nasal Concha 1 Vomer 2 Palatine 1 Mandible
What is the union between the zygomatic and temporal bones
Zygomatic arch
What are the 3 added bits to the temporal bone
Mastoid process of the temporal bone (nipple)
Styloid process of the temporal bone
External auditory meatus of temporal bone
What are the 2 added bits to the mandible
Condyle of the mandible (knob)
Coronoid process of the temporal bone (beak)
What are fontanels
soft spots in the newborn skull
Where is the pituitary gland located and what is it called
In the sphenoid bone
Called the Sella Turcica
What is the tongue bone
Hyoid bone
List the 5 differences in male vs female
Weight of skull - male heavier Ridges in frontal bone - male Zygomatic bone is thick - male Right angle mandible - male Thick mandible - male
Where are the 5 sinuses located
Frontal bone Temporal Sphenoid Ethmoid Maxillary
What surrounds our eye
The orbital cavity
What splits the two nasal bones
Bony nasal septum
What are the vertebra seperated by
Intervertebral discs
What is the first and second cervical vertebra
Atlas - fixed to skull
Axis - rotation of the head
What does the Axis have special
Tooth like projections called the DENS
What do cervical vertebra have special
2 lateral transverse processes
1 dorsal Spinous process
Transverse foramina
Intervertebral foramina - pathway for nerves
What are the openings called in the transverse processes and what do they allow
Transverse foramina - vertebral arteries
What provides the vertebra with weight bearing
Vertebral body
Intervertebral discs
What ring protects the spinal cord in the vertebra
Vertebral foramen
What are the 3 processes in the vertebra and where do they go
2 transverse process - to the side
1 spinous process - up
What is between the vertebral body and transverse process
Pedicle
What is between the transverse process and the spinous process
Lamina
What is the opening that allows spinal nerves through the pedicle
Intervertebral foramen
What is the space above the pedicle
Pedicle notch
Name all the facets and where are they found
Superior Articular facet - top end of pedicle
Inferior Articular facet - bottom end of pedicle
Superior Costal facet - top of vertebral body
Inferior Costal facet - bottom of vertebral body
Transverse Costal facet - end of transverse process
What vertebra are costal facets found in
Thoracic
What allows the attachment of ribs in vertebra
Costal facets
