18
Q

types of bone

A

cortical

cancellous bone

19
Q

bone is

A

highly vascularized

20
Q

cortical bone is made of

A

flexible collagen fibers and rigid mineral crystals

21
Q

where is cortical bone found

A

diaphysis of long bones

22
Q

what does cortical bone have

A

hollow central cavity

23
Q

hollow central cavity is called

A

medullary canal

marrow cavity

24
Q

cancellous bone is found

A

at end of long bone –> where the bone expands

where cortical bone becomes porous = cancellous or trabecular bone

25
Q

how do trabeculae lie

A

in direction of transmitted loads

26
Q

what does cancellous bones do

A

conducts load from articular surface to diaphyseal cortical bone

27
Q

what part of the bone is highly innervated

A

periosteum (middle)

28
Q

what is cartilage made up of

A

cells that produce an extracellular matrix of proteoglycans and collagen fibers w/ a high water content

chondroblasts and chondrocytes

29
Q

what is cartilages tensile strength d/t

A

collagen component

30
Q

what is cartilages resistance to compression d/t

A

attraction and holding power of the water content

31
Q

cartilage types

A

articular or hyaline cartilage

fibrocartilage

growth plate cartilage

32
Q

where is articular or hyaline cartilage located

A

lines the spaces in synovial joints

33
Q

where does articular or hyaline cartilage attach

A

underlying bone

34
Q

how does articular or hyaline cartilage attach

A

by interdigitations

like a jigsaw puzzle fitting together

35
Q

nutrition of articular or hyaline cartilage

A

no blood vessels w/in cartilage itself

occurs via loading and unloading the joint

36
Q

what does loading and unloading allow articular or hyaline cartilage to do

A

allows the water to be imbibed and the waste products to move out of the cartilage

37
Q

where is fibrocartilage located

A

at attachment sites of ligs, tendons and bones

38
Q

what does fibrocartilage form

A

menisci in knee

symphysis pubis

intervertebral disc

39
Q

what does fibrocartilage do

A

absorbs shock

increases joint congruity and fxnal surface area –> increases joint stability

40
Q

growth plate cartilage is found

A

at epiphyseal ends of long bone

esp in kids that are still growing

41
Q

what does growth plate cartilage eventually become

A

ossified and part of long bone

42
Q

w/ aging, cartilage

A

decreases in water content

becomes more brittle, less supple/springy, less able to resist tensile, torsional and compressive loading

43
Q

cartilage will increase in –> aging

A

cross-linkages b/w collagen molecules

44
Q

so..w/ aging cartilage

A

becomes more vulnerable to injury
