How Many Bones are there in the adult body?
206 - Not including the Patella
Sesmoid Bones
Protects joints
Examples: Patella, Palms: metacarpals, Feet: Metatarsal
What is Axial Skeleton?
Everything down the axis of the body.
What is Appendicular Skeleton?
Appendages
What are 4 function of bones?
1. Protection
2. Movement.
3. Calcium Storage
4. Form
Calcium is stored mainly as?
Hydroxyapatite
Bones are also composed of?
Magensium, Maganese, Iron, Copper, sodium, pottasium
What happens when the calcium level drops?
Parathyroid hormone is released. It increases serum calcium and transiently increases serum phosphorus.
What is Osteoporosis?
Brittle Bones due to the loss of calcium from bone.
What is Calcitonin and where does it come from?
Comes from the thyroid and it deposits calcium into bone.
What is Vitamin-D?
Cholecaliciferol
What does Cholecalciferol do?
helps absorbs calcium from food.
What is Rickets?
Lack of Vitamin D
What is Spongy Bone?
Trabecular bone, Cancellous Bone Medullary.

Inside the bone, honeycomb structure, also filled with fat or marrow
What is Compact Bone?
Cortical Bone

Hard bone covering the outside of the bone.
What is a Growth Plate?
Epiphyseal growth plate - Hyaline carilage.

These plates are located at one or both ends of bones between the epiphysis (end) and the diaphysis (shaft) of long bones. Growth occurs towards the diaphysis or shaft of the long bone.[2] In most adults, the epiphyseal plates ossify by the mid twenties and growth arrests.[1]
What is Metaphysis?
Junction of the epiphysis and diaphysis in a mature bone.
What is Periosteum?
Wrapping around diaphysis.
- anchors blood vessels + Nerves
- Thickening the compact bone
What is Endochondral Bone growth?
Lengthening a bone by replacing hyaline cartilage with bone.
- any long bone
What is intramembraneus Bone growth?
Connective tissue membrane replaced by bone.

- skull, sternum, ribs
What is Volkmans Canals?
-Foramen that penetrate the compact bone so that blood vessels can get in and out.
What is haversian Canals?
Travel WITHIN bones.
What are osteoblasts?
They secrete matrix for bone.
What are osteocyte?
The actual bone cell.
What are osteoclasts?
they are phagocytic cells that eat up calcium to increase calcium level.
- also used for remodeling bones.
What Osteoprogenitor cells?
-Bone stem cells
- Help heal fractures
What is the order of the races that are most prone to osteoporosis?
1. white/asian women post menopausal women
2. Black post menopausal women
3. White/Asian Men
4. Black Men.
Is bone stress good?
Yes!
Tendons are attached to what?
Periosteum is attached to tendons
How is a fracture healed?
1. Fracture Hematoma forms 6 - 8 hours after the injury.

2.Swelling

3. New capillaries begin to grow into the area.

4. Phagocyte and osteoclasts move in into clean up the fracture dead tissue.
- this can take several weeks.
5. Capillaries grow into the hematoma, and it becomes more organized which is the PROCALLUS.

6. Fibroblasts = produce collagen - they invade the procallus and help reconnect broken ends of bone.

7. osteoprogenitor cells farther away develop into chondrablasts that produce fibrocartilage. Now the procallus becomes a soft callus.
- lasts about three weeks
8. At sights away from the fracture, there is normal vascularization so osteoprogenitor cells develop into osteoblasts which secrete matrix and begin to form spongy bone and now the soft callus is a hard callus.
- this lasts 3 - 4 weeks.

9. The hard callus is remodeled by osteoclasts.
What are the Three types of joints?
1. Synarthrosis: Immovable joints

2. Amphiarthrosis: Slighty movable joint.

3. Diarthrosis: Free Movable.
What are Amphiarthrosis joints?
Slighty Movable
What are Synarthrosis joints?
Immovable joints
What are Diarthrosis joints?
Freely movable.
What are the three kinds of synarthrosis joints?
1. synchondrosis: temporary joint where cartilage is converted to bone.
- growth plates.

2. Suture: contigious margins of bone are connected by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue.
- skull only.

3. Gomphosis: Conical process in a socket.
What is synchondrosis?
temporary joing where cartilage is converted to bone.
- growth plate.
What is suture?
Contigious margins of bone are connected by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue.
- skull only.
What is Gomphosis?
Conical process in a socket.
What are the two kinds of Amphiarthrosis joints?
1. Syndesmosis = two bones united by a interoserous ligament.
- example is the tibafibular joint or radioulnar joint.

2. Symphysis: where a piece of fibrocartilage is between two bones.
- Pubic Symphysis
- intervebral discs
What is Sydesmosis?
two bones are united by a interserous ligament
Example: is the tibiafibular joint or radioulndar
what is symphysis?
where a piece of fibrocartilage is between two bones.
- Pubic symphysis

What are the 6 kinds of Diarthrosis joints?
1. Ginglymus: hinge joint
- Elbow

2. Trochoid (Pivot): only movement is to pivot.
- a process fits into a ring.
- dense into neck.

3. Condyloid (ellipsoidal): a condyle fits into a fossa
- Jaw

4. Saddle Joint (sellaris): opposing surfaces are concavo-convex
- metacarpal joint of thumb.

5. Spheriodal (ball and socket): hip and shoulder
