also known as the growth plate

most of the rest of the bones are formed this way from a cartilaginous model

Describe intramembranous ossification

1. Development of an ossification center


2. calcification of osteoblasts to osteocytes


3. Formation of trabeculae


4. Development of the Periosteum

Describe endochondral ossification

1. Development of a cartilaginous model


2. growth of cartilaginous model


3. development of primary ossification center


4. development of the medullary cavity


5. development of secondary ossification center


6. Formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate

Bone growth lenthwise

interstitial growth

bone growth thickness

appositional growth

describe appositional growth

1. ridges in periosteum create groove for periosteal blood vessel


2. periosteal ridges fuse, forming an endosteum-lined tunnel (Haversian canal)


3. osteoblasts in endosteum build new concentric lamellae inward toward center of tunnel, forming a new osteon


4. bone grows outward as osteoblasts in periosteum build new outer circumferential lamellae. Osteon formation repeats as new periosteal ridges fold over blood vessels.

What factors affect bone growth?

Diet


Hormones (sex hormones, thyroid, etc.)


Excercise

What is the mechanism of fracture healing?

1. Hematoma formation- fibrin mesh creates framework


2. osteoprogenitor cells get activated that deposit subperiosteal trabeculae


3. bony callus is formed


4. maturation of callus, formation of new medullary cavity


More on the process of fracture healing

1. formation of fracture hematoma


2. fibrocartilaginous callus formation


3. bony callus formation


4. bone remodeling

How does aging affect bone tissue?

demineralization leads to osteoporosis


decreases rate of protein synthesis leading to decreased matrix components

Describe the major divisions of the skeletal system

axial skeleton- 80 bones


appendicular skeleton- 126 bones

What are the three functions of the sinuses?

lighten head


resonating chamber


warm air entering body

"beside"

para

What are fontanels?

soft spots in the skull resulting from unossified mesenchyme


allow for easier passage during birth

What is the most common type of chest injury?

dislocation of a rib

what are some contributions of the appendicular skeleton?

provide attachment points and leverage for muscles


aids in body movements


supports and protects internal organs


store and release calcium


primary function is movement

What is the primary function of the axial skeleton?

support of the body and protection of vital organs

What is the proper weight distribution on the feet?

60% ball


40% heel

"joint"

arthr-

"movement"

kinesi-

Describe the purpose of joints

allow for movement and flexibility


bones are too rigid to bend without damage


Flexible connective tissues form joints that hold together bones while still permitting movement

how are joints classified?

anatomical characteristics


functionality

On what two criteria are joints classified anatomically?

presence of a space between articulating bones (synovial cavity)


type of connective tissue binding bones together

What are the three types of structural classification?

Fibrous joints


cartilaginous joints


synovial joints

describe fibrous joints

no synovial cavity


dense irregular connective tissue (collagen fibers)

Describe cartilaginous joints

no synovial cavity; cartilage

Describe synovial joints

synovial cavity


dense irregular connective tissue

List the functional classifications of joints

synarthrosis


amphiarthrosis


diarthrosis

Describe synarthrosis

immoveable joint

describe amphiarthrosis

slightly moveable

Describe diarthrosis

freely moveable joint

What are 3 types of fibrous joints?

interosseous membranes

What are the components of synovial joints?

synovial cavity
