What percentage of bone matrix is water?
15%
What percentage of bone matrix is collagen?
30%
What percentage of bone matrix is crystallized mineral salts?
55%
Name the three main components of bone matrix
collagen, crystallized mineral salts, water
What are the main components of the crystallized mineral salts in bone matrix?
calcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Also in the bone matrix are Mg, F, S04 and K
Name the four types of bone cells
Osteoclasts, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells
Where are osteogenic cells found?
inner periosteum, endosteum and haversian canals
What is the function of osteocytes?
Maintain metabolism - exchange of nutrients and wastes with blood
When does ossification start in the human body?
Around 6 weeks
What are the two types of bone development?
Intramembranous and Endochondral (more common)
What are the four stages of intermembranous ossification?
Development of ossification centre
calcification
formation of trabeculate
development of periosteum
What are the six stages of endochondral ossification?
development of cartilage model
growth of cartilage model
development of primary ossification centre
development of medullary cavity
development of secondary ossification centre
formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate
Name the various components of osteons
central (haversian) canal, lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes, canaliculi. Blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels penetrate though perforating or volkmann's canals.
Flat bones, short bones and irregular bones are mostly formed of which type of bone?
spongy
How many bones in the axial and appendicular portion of the body?
80- axial
126- appendicular
Name a couple of functions of sesamoid bones
protect tendon, increase mechanical effect of tendon
Which hormones stimulate or regulate growth and from which gland do they originate?
hGH - pituitary
t3, t4, calcitonin - thyroid
PTH - parathyroid
testosterone, estrogen - testes, ovaries, adrenal glands
What protein promotes growth in childhood? What does this protein do? Where is it produced?
Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGFs)
promotes osteoblast function, cell division and enhances the synthesis of new proteins
produced in response to hGH in the liver and bone tissues
What hormones promote bone growth in childhood?
Insulin (promotes protein synthesis)
T3 and T4
What are the two criteria for classifying joints?
1. presence of space between joints
2. the type of connective tissue that holds the bones together
Name the joint types
Fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial
What are the three types of fibrous joints? Give an example of each
Sutures - skull joints
syndesmones - gomphosis
interosseus membranes - between ulna and radius
Name the two types of cartilaginous joints and give an example of each.
Synchondroses (hyaline cartilage, no movement) - epiphyseal plates
Symphyses - pubic symphysis
What are the components of a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage (reduce friction, absorb shock), articular capsule (forms ligaments), synovial membrane
Name the classifications of synovial joints and give an example of each
Planar (navicular-lateral cuneiform), saddle (carpal-metacarpal of thumb), ball-and-socket (ishial-femoral), pivot (atlanto-axial), hinge (humero-ulnar), condyloid (radio-carpal)
What are the determinants of joint range of motion
structure and shape of articulating surfaces
strength and tension of ligaments
arrangement and tension of muscles
contact of soft parts
hormones
amount of use
What are the types of fractures?
Colles (distal end of radius)
Pott (distal end of fibula)
comminuted
impacted
greenstick
open (compound)
stress
