module 1 Flashcards
define bones
form the bodys solid internal framework=skeleton
define joints(artculations)
): sites where two or more bones meet, facilitate body movement
define ligaments
connect the articulating bones at a joint, stabilise connecting bone and joint. And help hold skeleton together.
whats cartilage
- Supports body structures
- Connects bones
- Maintains the shape of body structures
- Resists compressions
- Has tensile strength
- Is composed of chondrocytes (cartilage cells) and surrounded by an extracellular matrix= ground substance, collagen and elastin fibres.
whats the three types of cartilage
hyaline cartilage (most abundant), fibrocartilage and elastic cartilage (pressure and stretch areas
whats the 5 functions of bone
suport portection storage of minerals and triglycerides blood cell prodcution movement
how to bones support
: bones provide a framework that supports the entire body. Eg legs support body
how do bones protection
bones surround and enclose body tissues and organs. Eg Scull protects the brian.
how do bones storage of minerals and triglyercerides
: bones stores minerals ( eg. Calcium and phosphate)and triglycerides (fat). Therefore helps maintain homeostatic blood calcium levels which regulated by parathyroid hormone and calcitonin. Yellow bone marrow consists of adipose cells a potential energy source.
how do bones blood cell production
bones produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
how do bones movement
skeletal muscels attach to bones and when they contract they pull on and move a bone
whats the origin of the bone
the fixed point of muscle attachment therefore the bone does not move when muscle contracts
wast the insertion of the bone
moveable point of muscel attachment therefore the bone moves when the muscel contracts.
whats the two division of the human skeleton
the axil skeleton
the appendicular skeleton
whats the axil skeleton
Forms the long axis of the body an includes the bones of the:
- skull: cranial and facial bones
- vertebral colum:
- rib cage: sternum and ribs
how to remmerb how many each section of the vertebral column have
cervical (breakfast at 7), thoracic (lunch at 12), lumbar (dinner at 5) , sacral(5 and 4 make 9 for supper) and coccyx vertebrae.
whats the appendicular skeleton
Includes bones of the:
- Upper limbs eg arms, forearm and hands
- Lower limbs eg foot, legs and thighs (they are thicker and stronger than upper limbs)
- Shoulder girdles: attach arms to axil skeleton eg clavicle and scapula
- Pelvic: consists of two hip bones and sacrum attach the lower limbs to the axial skeleton.
how tp remember difference of tibia and fibula
T for thick for tibia and F for thin for Fibula
what are the bone shapes and examples
Long bones: long slender bones, structural have a shaft (diaphysis)and bone ends (epiphysis). All limb bones except the patella, wrist and ankle bones. Eg humerous
Short bones: small cube shaped bones. Patella= sesamoid bone eg tarsals, carpals and patella.
Flat bones: thin, flat and often curved bones eg sternum, ribs, scapula and skull bones
Irregular bones: complex shaped bones eg hip bone and vertebrae
what the different types of tissue
Connective tissues: osseous tissue, adipose tissue and hyaline cartilage (growth plates)
Nervous tissue: sensory neurons
Muscle and epithelial tissue: blood vessels.
Osseous tissue: a connective tissue that contains specialised cells and an extracellular matrix.
what the matrix consist of and what does to do
of ground substance, collagen fibres, and calcium phosphate crystals
- makes bones hard, slightly flexible and strong.
- Collagen fibbers: provide flexibility and tensile strength. Lack= hard and has compressive strength but lacks flexibility and tensile strength= brittle.
- Calcium phosphate crystals: make our bones hard and provide compression strength. Lack= soft bones and very flexible and bendy.
Osteoprogenitor cells
- Osteoprogenitor cells: stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoblasts: bone building cells that produce and secrete collagen fibres and ground substance. (b for building)
- Osteoclasts
- Osteoclasts: bone reabsorbing cells that break down the matric and release stored minerals.
- Osteocytes
- Osteocytes: mature bone cells that maintain the matrix.
what does the outer layer of the bone called
compact bone
how is the compact bone arranged
- Arranges into osteons
- Each osteon:
- Runs parallel to the long axis of a bone eg shaft bones
- Consists of
- A central canal: contain blood vessels and nerves
- Concentric circles of matrix
- Osteocytes: lie between the cylinders of matrix
- Acts as a tiny weight bearing pillar: resists forces applied to the ends of a bone but if applied sideways bone will snap.
what the internal layer of bone called
spongey bone
whats the spongey bone made of
- Osseous tissue arranges into n irregular lattice of thin needle like structures called trabeculae
- Orientated to resist forces from all direction and transfer weight without breaking
- Lighter than compact done= reduces the weight of the skeleton
- Long bones mainly found the proximal and distal epiphysis.
- Redbone marrow found between trabeculae, therefore also a sie of blood cell production
what the outer connective tissue membrane do
= periosteum; covers compact bone and contains blood vessels.
whats the internal connective. tissue membrane do
=endosteum; covers spongy bone
whats intersistial growth
occurs at the epiphyseal plates of long bones. bones lengthen
whats appositional growth
occurs at the outer surface of bones. Widens bones
whats the two hormones that regulate down growth
growth hormone (GH) and thyroid hormones (TH)
what does GH and TH do to bones
- Promote the adolescent growth spurt
- End growth- induce epiphyseal plate closrure
- Rateof bone formation exceeds the rate of cartilage formation
- Cartilage eventually replaced entirely by bone
- Epiphyseal plate becomes epiphyseal line
whats bone remodelling
- Occurs throughout life
- Maintains bone mass and strength
- Replaces old matrix with new matrix
- Involved bone resportion (new matrix) and bone deposition (old matrix)
- Health young adults rate of bone deposition equals the rate of resorption= bone mass remains constant
- With age a decline in sex hormones results in a loss of bone msas as the rate of resorption exceeds the rate of bone deposition.
whats factors that affect bone growth and remodelling
- Adequate amounts of calcium phosphate, and vitamins C, A, D, K and B
- Weight bearing exercise such as walking help build bone mass
- Mechanical forces stimulate. Osteoblast to produce new matrix= bones become thicker, stronger and more resistant to fractures.
- Closed (simple) fracture:
- Closed (simple) fracture: broken bone does not break the skin
- Open (compound) fracture
- Open (compound) fracture): broken bone protrudes through the skin
