test Flashcards
What are the organic compounds of bone?
Collegen –> provides flexibility and resilience
What are the inorganic compounds of bone?
Hydroxyapatite mineral matrix –> gives structure and hardness
Give examples of flat bones
Scapula, ribs, cranial unit bones
Give examples of irregular bones
Vertebrae, sacrum
Name the vertebrae
Cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5)
Name the ribs
True (7), false (3), floating (2)
What do true, false and floating ribs mean?
True –> direct cartilaginous connection (rib to sternum)
False –> Not directly connected to own piece of cartilage w/ sternum
Floating ribs –> do not articulate with the sternum
What are the bones of the hip bone?
Ilium (blade), Ischium (sitting bones, pubis
What does the scapula articulate with?
Humerus and clavicle
What does the clavicle articulate with?
Strut between scapula and sternum
What does the humerus articulate with?
scapula, radius, ulna
What does the radius articulate with?
humerus, ulna, 2 carpals (scaphoid, lunate)
What does the ulna articulate with?
humerus and radius
Name the hand bones
Carpals (8), metacarpals (5), phalanges (proximal –> 5, intermediate –> 4, –> distal 5)
What does the femur articulate with?
os coxae (hip), tibia, patella
what is the patella and what does it articulate with?
A sesamoid bone, sits in tendon of quadriceps femoris, articulates with femur
What does the tibia articulate with?
femur, fibula, talus
What does the fibula articulate with?
tibia, talus
What is the calcareous?
Heal of foot, supports talus
What does the talus articulate with?
tibia, fibula, calcaneus, navicular
Name the amounts of foot bones
metatarsals (5)
Phalanges –> proximal (5), intermediate (4), distal (5)
What is bony congruence?
The sum of the bone surfaces forming an articulation
Reduced bony congruence = more soft tissue support needed.
What are fibrous joints?
- -> Made of DFCT
- -> Ligaments
- -> Provides stability, resists tension
e. g. cranium, tooth sockets, distal tibiofibular joint
What are cartilaginous joints?
- -> Fibrocartilage
- -> Hyaline cartilage
- -> limited movement, resists compression
e. g. intervertebral discs, ribs, pelvis
