Week1:BonesA&PtraumaFractureInfection Flashcards
What are the types of cartilage protein fiber?
elastic (nose ears), hyalin (hardest; in most jts), fibrocartilage (middle; more collagen;b/n discs, symphysis pubis)
What is the composition of cartilage?
ground substance, chondrocytes (cartilage cell), protein fiber
What are the 3 fns of cartilage?
bone g, shock absorption, prevent friction
How does cartilage receive nutrition?
Through diffusion
What is the fourfold composition of bone?
ground substance (protein) bone cells (osteocytes) collagen fibers inorganic salts (Ca, Mg, manganese, fluoride etc)
What are the two types of bone?
spongy bone (inner, lattice-like) compact (outer, cortical)
What are the 4 types of bone cells and their functions?
osteocytes: mature bone cells, maintain bone matrix
osteogenic cells: precursor of osteoblast, draw Ca from blood in2 bone
–Calcitonin fr thyroid drives Ca fr blood into bone
osteoblast: bone-building cells
osteoclast: reabsorb bone, draw Ca from bone in2 blood
–parathyroid hormone draws Ca from bone in2 blood
What are the three parts of a long bone?
epiphysis–head
metaphysis–neck
diaphysis–body
What are the layers of bone, from outermost to innermost?
periosteum--nerves and blood vessels compact bone spongy/porous bone marrow Haversian canals wherein bv are located Blood moves w/i Volkmann's canal and supplies bone
What forms the bone plate?
osteocyte
What do tendons do?
Connect musc to bone
More elastin, more bv than ligaments, but still limited
What do ligaments to?
Connect bone to bone (joint); more collagen fiber bc tighter than tendons; take longer to heal
Of what are tendons and ligaments formed?
Collagen (stiffer) and elastin (stretchier) fibers and have a limited blood supply
What are synarthroses?
Joints w/o a jt cavity having little or no movement, have no synovial cavity
What are the three types of synarthroses?
Synostoses
synchondrose
syndesmoses
Which type of joints have no movement?
Synostoses, e.g. fused fontanelles
What is the nature of the synchondrone jt?
Connected to bone by hyalin cartilage
limited motion
e.g. where ribs connect to sternum
What are the characteristics of a syndesmose joint?
separated by fibrous disk (fibrocartilage)
joined by ligament
certain amt of movement
e.g. symphysis pubis, backbone
What is a diarthrose joint?
The most common type of jt and one that has both a synovial capsule and a joint capsule
What are the 5 characteristics of diarthroses?
- articular cartilage
- joint cavity
- synovial capsule i.e. rich blood supply–>rapid healing
- bursae (pockets of fluid acting as cushions)
- intraarticular menisci (e.g. knee) (cartilage as well)
What are the three types of soft tissue injury/trauma?
contusion
hematoma
laceration
What is the cause and characteristics of contusion?
Caused by striking a body part against a hard object
Characterized by ecchymosis, SKIN INTACT
Causes and characteristics of hematoma?
Caused by a contusion (striking a body part against a hard object)
Char: Swelling + pain increasing in intensity upon P
Describe a laceration
Disruption of skin –>high chance of infection
Differentiate a strain from a sprain
A strain involves tendons
injury to musc caused by mechanical overloading
recovery faster than sprain bc tendon has more bv than ligament
Differentiate a sprain from a strain
A sprain involves ligaments
injury (stretch, tear, or avulsion fracture) to ligamentous structures surrounding the jt due to abnormal or excessive mvmt of jt
–allow sufficient healing time, otherwise re-sprain and eventually never heal
what is the pathology of a sprain?
ligaments become stretched, partially or completely torn
