Cards

Term

What does the skeletal system include?

Definition

-bones and associated vessels

-nerves

-ligaments (bind bone to bone)

-articular cartilages of joints

Term

What is Wolfe's Law of Bone Classification?

Definition

all bones are built for the function they carry out

-ex: shape, length, width, etc.

Term
Give examples of long bone
Definition
femus, humerus, tibia, fibula, ulna, metacarpals, metatarsals, clavicle, phalanges, radius
Term
Properties of Long Bone
Definition

- longer than wide

-weight bearers

-thick compact bone, cancellous bone inside

-cancellous spreads weight throughout bone

 

Term
What is the function of articular cartilage?
Definition
it reduces friction in movable joints
Term
Medullary cavity
Definition

-marrow

-lightens bones

Term
Periosteum
Definition
bone forming membrane on outside of bone
Term
Endosteum
Definition
bone forming membrane inside
Term
properties of periosteum
Definition

-contains more osteoblasts

-contains more osteocytes

Term
properties of endosteum
Definition
-contains more
Term
Give examples of short bone
Definition

-carpals

-tarsals

Term
porperties of short bone
Definition

-cube-like

-thin compact bone over cancellous

-not made to bear extreme weight

-supports delicate appendages

Term
Examples of flat bone
Definition

-ribs

-scapula

-sternum

-cranial bones

Term
properties of flat bone
Definition

-thin compact over cancellous

-big surfaces for muscle attachment and deep organ protection

Term
examples of irregular bone
Definition

-facial bones

-vertebrae

-hyoid

-os coxae

Term
properties of irregular bone
Definition

-thin compact over cancellous

-used for organ protection

Term
examples of sesamoid bones
Definition
-patella
Term
properties of sesamoid bones
Definition

-kernal-like bones

-do not exist in every body (save for patella), some bodies have more than others

-no periosteum

-no repair

-adds support to joint

Term
properties of sutural/wormian bones
Definition

-always in sutures

-flat bone bits caught in sutures of skull

Term
two mechanisms to form bones
Definition

-calcification

-ossification

Term
calcification
Definition

-inorganic step (Na+, Ca++, Phosphate)

-minerals deposited by cells called hydroxyapatite

-gives bone hardness/rigidity

Term
ossification
Definition

-organic step

-"osteoid" substances made by osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes

-lots of collagen and other fibers

-flexibility, toughness, and strength of bone

-vessels and nerves, fibers, proteoglycans (aka glycoproteins) are osteoid substances

Term
Sites of original bone formation
Definition

-intramembranous ossification

-endochondral ossification

Term
Properties of intramembranous ossification
Definition

-found in membranous bones or dermal bones

-in fetal fontanels - cranial bones

-some facial bones (mandible)

Term
properties of endochondral ossification
Definition

-within hyaline cartilage

-cartilagenous or replacement bones

-continues until 17-21 years

Term
Steps of endochondral ossification
Definition

-make periosteal bone collar

-cartilage deep to bone collar detoriates and dies due to lack of nutrients (solid bone doesn't allows diffusion)

-vessels accompanied by bone cells invade dead cartilage (forms concentric lamellar rings)

-ossification continues to invade cartilage around bone collar (forms diaphysis)

-secondary centers of ossification form at each end of cartilage to form epiphysis

Term
diaphysis
Definition
bone shaft
Term
epiphysis
Definition
ends of bone
Term
what is the epiphysis made of?
Definition
cancellous bone and red bone marrow
Term
appositional growth
Definition
bone grows at the edges of bone
Term
interstitial growth
Definition
invading bone tissue causes detoriating cartliage
Term
[image]
Definition
Term
nutrients needed for bone development
Definition

-calcium

-phosphate

-sodium

-magnesium

-manganese

-Vitamin A, C, D

Term
Vitamin C
Definition
makes collagen
Term
Vitamin D
Definition
carries calcium
Term
hematoma
Definition
blood clot
Term
evidence of a fracture
Definition

-hematoma

-swelling

-bruise

-softening of bone near fracture

-callus formation

Term
What is swelling a result of?
Definition
inflammed edematous tissue
Term
Describe a bruise.
Definition
detoriating blood pigment (hemoglobin)
Term
What is softening of the bone near a fracture due to?
Definition
loss of vessels and death of osseous cells
Term
When does callus formation begin?
Definition
2 to 4 weeks after a fracture
Term
Reduction
Definition
realigning the fractured bone
Term
Steps to callus formation
Definition

-innermost fibroblasts invade fracture -> osteoblasts -> cancellous bone forms

-cartilage forms around fracture to form splint

-periosteum reforms outermost

-endochondral ossification gradually kills cartilage to form new bone

-2-3 month required for total reformation

-remodeling

Term
What is remodeling?
Definition

-osteoclasts resorb some excess bone

-osteoblasts and osteocytes reform areas where enough bone wasn't laid down
