Skin
*layers *tissue types |
Epidermis: stratified squamous epithelium
Dermis: Connective tissue |
|
|
Functions of the Skin
|
Physical protection
thermoregulation vitamin D synthesis-nutrition sensation immune defence excretion / secretion synthesis & storage of lipid reserves |
|
|
what is the rule of nines
|
used to calculate fluid replacement from burns.
Fluid loss is proportional to the affected surface area |
|
|
Subcutaneous Tissue
|
loose connective tissue with variable amount of adipose tissue
*shock absober *deep tissue insulator *fibrous strand connect dermis to deep facia |
|
|
Deep Facia
|
dense inelastic membrane that seperates subcutaneous tissue from the underlying structures.
|
|
|
Functions of Bone
|
support
protection movement storage (fat, minerals) haematopoiesis |
|
|
periosteum
|
connective tissue that covers the ext surface of bone except at articular surfaces
|
|
|
endosteum
|
covers inside aspect of bone (between marrow and bone)
|
|
|
Endochondral Ossification
|
Growth of bone in cartilage
|
|
|
What are the 5 types of fractures- explain them
|
1)simple- clean break, intl
2)compound- break + extnl 3)comminuted- shattered, intl 4)greenstick- fracturing- kid 5)avulsion- lig attachment site break |
|
|
fibrous joint
|
bones united by fibrous tissue eg sutures in skull
|
|
|
cartilaginous joint
|
bones united by cartilage
eg IVDisks |
|
|
synovial joint
|
bone ends separated by joint cavity containing: synovial membrane, capsule, synovial cavity & articular cartilage
|
|
|
synovial membrane
|
produces synovial fluid. Inflammation --> ^ fluid production
|
|
|
3 main factors of joint stability
|
1) shape of articular surface
2)lig that cross joint 3)m. that cross joint |
|
|
synovial sheaths
|
surround tendons where there is a considerable range of movement
|
