25
what is pronation?
turns the hands posteriorly e.g. back of hand
26
what is supination?
turns the hands anteriorly e.g. looking at palms of hands
27
what is flexion?
decreases angle of joint
28
what is extension?
increases angle of joint
29
what is opposition?
thumb brought to oppose another digit
30
what is elevation?
movement of scapular superiorly
31
what is depression?
move scapular inferiorly
32
what is eversion?
movement of foot sole away from median plane
33
what is inversion?
movement of foot sole towards the median plane
34
what is the buccal position of teeth?
anterior surface of tooth
35
what is the palatal position of teeth?
posterior surface of maxillary tooth
36
what is the lingual position of teeth?
posterior surface of mandibular tooth
37
what is bone made of?
bone matrix, mineral, cells
38
what does the bone matrix comprise of?
collagen & ground substance
39
what are the 3 bone cells?
osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
40
what does the average compact bone contain?
30% matrix & 70% mineral
41
what is bone strength affected by?
direction of collagen fibres
42
how do the collagen fibres overlap?
form crosslinks with minerals deposited in space between fibrils
43
what give the bone the ability to flex without breaking?
collagen
44
what is the role of ground substance?
strenghthens bone by forming compression resistant networks between collagen fibrils
45
what is the role of bone minerals?
give bone strength
46
what is the bone mineral?
hydroxyapatite (HAP)- made up of calcium & phosphate
47
what compounds in bone matrix are transformed to HAP?
fluid Ca-P
48
how much HAP is located between & around collagen fibres?
90%
49
when does mineralisation occur?
when the local concentration of calcium & phosphorus is increased by action of ALP
50
what happens when the solubility of mineralisation is exceeded?
crystals form- initially amorphous calcium phosphate which tranform to HAP
51
what is the ratio of ca:p in hydroxyapatite?
between 1.3:1 and 2:1
52
what else does bone salts consist of?
Mg, Na, K & carbonate ions- not organised into specific crystals
53
how much HAP remains in an amorphorus form?
20-30% & are avaliable when extra Ca is needed in blood
54
when does HAP deposit abnormally in soft tissue?
dystrophic calcification (occurs in dying & dead tissue) + metastic calcification associated with hypercalcemia
55
what is the main role of hydroxyapatite?
provides compressional strength to the bone, and acts as a reserve of calcium that can be mobilised if blood calcium levels decrease.
56
what are osteoblasts?
bone forming cells- active near the bone surface
57
what do osteoblasts produce?
matrix (osteoid) the non mineralised matrix consisting of collagen & ground substance
58
what do osteoblasts become when production of matrix is complete?
becomes osteocytes
59
what are osteocytes?
cells located in lacunae within bony matrix- once osteoblasts- maintain bone
60
what is the role of osteocytes?
links with other osteocytes and osteoblasts- minerals move through channels & maintain bone structure
61
what is the role of osteoclasts?
remove bone during repair & remodelling- derived from macrophages & scavenge- create surfaces on which osteoblasts can function
62
what is cortical bone?
makes up hard outer shell of bone & shapes it- concentric ring structure with osteons
63
what does the cortical bone surround?
in long limbs, it surrounds the medullary cavity (site of bone marrow)
64
what spongy (cancellous) bone?
located within the bone at ends of long bone between the cortical bone & medullary cavity- large SA but less dense & stiff & provides strength to bone
65
how does cancellous bone provide strength to bone?
trabeculae follow lines of stress & can realign if direction of stress changes- contributes greatly to strength
66
what breaks down more easily- cortical or cancellous bone?
cancellous bone breaks down easily
67
what is woven bone?
collagen fibres are randomly arranged
68
what does woven bone contain?
many osteocytes- found at site of new bone formation, disorders & tumours- indicates a pathological process is occuring
69
what is lamellar bone?
collagen fibres are arranged in pattern- laid down on a preexisting framework e.g. woven bone
70
what is endochondral ossification?
method by which long bone grows
71
how do long bone bones develop from ossification?
3 centres: a diaphysis & 2 epiphysis
72
where does the lengthening of bone occur?
at ends of diaphysis where a layer of actively growing cartilage (growth plate) is located
73
what happens when the cartilage stops growing?
it ossifies, metaphysis closes & no further lengthening occurs
74
what does the intramembranous bone form?
bones of skull & face (flat bone)- formed by intramembraneous ossification
75
where does intramembraneous ossification occur?
in fibrous tissue but has a centre of ossification- extends from centre to periphery of bone
76
what are the 3 types of function joints?
synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis & diarthrosis
77
what are synarthrosis joints?
immovable joints e.g. skull
78
what are amphiarthrosis joints?
limited movement joints e.g. intervertebral disc
79
what are diarthrosis joints?
freely movable joint e.g. knee + elbow
80
what are the 3 primary classification system of joints?
fibrous, cartilaginous & synovial
81
what is the structure of a fibrous joint?
syndesmosis (held together by interosseous ligament, allowing movement) + suture (between bones in skull)
82
what is structure of a cartilaginous joint?
symphysis- characterised by borad, flattened disk of fibrocartilage between 2 bony surfaces
83
what is the structure of a synovial joint?
freely movable, fibrous capsule containing synovial fluid, exposed ends covered by articular cartilage, joints stabilised by ligaments
