Incisions should be made across rather than parallel to cleavage lines produced by collagen fiber bundles.
FALSE
The pinkish hue of individuals with fair skin is the result of the crimson color of oxygenated hemoglobin (contained in red blood cells) circulating in the dermal capillaries and reflecting through the epidermis.
TRUE
Hair growth and density are influenced by hormones, nutrition, and, in some cases, lifestyle.
TRUE
When a patient is said to have "third-degree burns," this indicates that the patient has burns that cover approximately one-third of the body.
FALSE
Sweat glands continuously produce small amounts of sweat, even in cooler temperatures.
TRUE
Three types of skeletal cartilage
Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
the most common type. contains only very fine collagen fibers. the matrix has a glassy trranslucent appearance. found in the nose and at the end of long bones and the ribs, froms rings in the walls of respiratory passages. the fetal skeleton is made up of this type of cartilage, later it is replaced by bone.
Elastic Cartilage
much more flexible than hyaline cartilage and tolerates repeated bending better w/ more elastic fibers (cartilages of external ear and the epiglottis)
Fibrocartilage
Type of cartilage that contains both chondrocytes and collagen; used for fusion & support and found in the knees and intervertebral disks of the back
Number of bones
206
Two classifications of bones
axial and appendicular
Axial Skeleton
forms the long axis of the body, includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column and rib cage
Appendicular skeleton
consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs and the girdles
Types of bones
flat bones, long bones, irregular bones
Long bones
bones are longer than they are wide all limb bones excpet the patella, wrist and ankle bones
Short bones
roughly cube shaped, nbones of the wrist and ankle
Sesamoid bones
special type of short bone that form in a tendon ex. patella
Flat bones
thin flattened and a bit curved bones ex. sternum, scapula, ribs, and most skull bones
Irregular bones
bones that have complicated shapes that fit no other classification ex. vertebrae and hip bones
functions of bones
support, protection, movement,mineral and growth factor starge, blood cell formation, fat storage,energy storage
Hematopoiesis
formation of blood cells
Bone textures
spongy and compact bone
Compact Bone
external layer of bone
Spongy Bone
internal layer of bone also called cancellous bone
Trabeculae
honeycomb of small needle-like or flat pieces
Structures of long bone
Diaphysis, epiphysis, membranes
Diaphysis
shaft forming the long axis of the bone
Epiphysis
the bone ends of a long bone
Epiphyseal line
between the epiphysis and the diaphysisof an adult long bone
epiphyseal plate
a disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone
Periosteum
a white double layered membrane covering the external surface of the entire bone
Osteoblasts
bone forming cells which secrete bone matrix
Osteoclasts
bone destroying cells
Endosteum
delicate connective tissue covering the internal bone surfaces
Osteon
the structural unit of compact bone, an elongated cylinder located parallel to the long axis of the bone, tiny weight bearing pillars
lamella
a hollow tube of the osteon filled with red bone marrow
central canal
inner hole of the osteon holding the nerve vein and artery
perforating canals
canal lying at right angles to the long axis of the bone connecting the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to eh central canls and medullary cavity
Lacunae
small cavities in bone that contain osteocytes
Canaliculi
hairlike canals connecting the lacunae to each other and the central canal
Ossification
the process of bone formation
joints
articulations
Chondrocytes
form cartilage
perforating canal
have blood vessels that carry blood to haversion canals
Trabeculla
pattern of lamella in cancellous bone
Yellow bone marrow
fat or adipose tissue
Intramembranous ossification
the formation of the skull and the clavicle (flat bones) 1. mesenchyme layed down in the shape of the bone 2. mesenchyme get replaced with loose connective tissue 3. osteoblasts move in and turn into bone 4. osteoclasts move in and turn into cancellous bone
Steps of endochondral ossification
osteoblasts and bone collar forms, cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and then develops cavities, the peristeal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy bone begins to form, the dipahysis elongates and a medullary ciavity forms as ossification continues, secondary ossification begins in the epiphysis, the eiphiphysis ossifies when completed cartilage remainsin the epiphysela plates and articular cartilage
Repair of fractures
1. clot forms 2. fibrocartilagenous callous forms wherever their is blood 3. bony callous forms 4. bone remodels by osteoclasts breaking down extra bone
