Test 2 Bones & joints Flashcards
What is endochondral ossification
when cartilage is gradually replaced by bone
all bones below the skull except the clavicles
what is intramembranous ossification
forms the cranial bones and clavicles
Describe the architecture of spongy bone
consists of plates (trabeculae) and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow
describe the architecture of compact bone
consists of closely packed osteons or haversian systems, stronger and denser
what is the biochemistry of vitamin D
Vitamin D is a derivative of 7-dehydrocholesterol, also called ergosterol
what is the function of Vitamin D
help the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus
what is the role of parathyroid hormone in bone development and maintenance
enhances the number and the activation of osteoblast
what is the role of calcitonin in bone development and maintenance
lower calcium levels in your blood
what is the role of sex hormones on bone development and maintenance
regulating the growth of the skeleton and maintaining the mass and strength of bone
what is the role of growth hormones on bone development and maintenance
stimulates both the bone-resorbing and bone-forming cells to increase bone mass
why does osteoporosis occur
A decrease in estrogen in women at the time of menopause and a decrease in testosterone in men as they age
what are the treatments for osteoporosis
Bisphosphonates are usually the first choice for osteoporosis treatment
List the classification, location and variety of movements for the following joint
Gleno-humeral
ball and socket joint, shoulder joint
Movements: Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation, circumduction
List the classification, location and variety of movements for the following joint
Humero-ulnar
Hinge-joint, found between the ulna and humerus
Movements: flexion, extension and circumduction
List the classification, location and variety of movements for the following joint
Femuro-tibial
plane joint, found in the knee
List the classification, location and variety of movements for the following joint
Acetabulo-femoral
ball and socket joint, located at the pelvic acetabulum and femur
Movement: flexion, extension, adduction and abduction
Ball and socket
type of synovial joint in which the ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone
Pivot
cylinder shaped bone that rotates inside another, forms a ring around it
Gliding
structure in the body formed between two bones in which the articular, or free, surfaces of the bones are flat or nearly flat, enabling the bones to slide over each other.
Hinge
type of synovial joint that exists in the body and serves to allow motion primarily in one plane
condyloid
composed of an egg-shaped bone known as a condyle that fits into a similarly shaped cavity
saddle
type of synovial joint in which the opposing surfaces are reciprocally concave and convex
Name the 3 cartilage tissues found in bones and what they are made from
hyaline, elastic and fibro-carilage
made from chondrocytes
What is hyaline cartilage and give an example
most abundant cartilage in the body, provides support
ex: costal cartilage
what is elastic cartilage and give an example
cartilage with abundant elastic fibers, only found in external ear and epiglottis
what is fibro-catilage and give an example
most resistant to compression and stretch
ex: discs between the vertebrae
