How many kinds of bone are there?
3
Name the three kinds of joints?
Long - thigh and arm

Flat - shoulders, skull, ribs & pelvis

Irregular - spinal column, ankle and wrist (sometimes called short bones)
What are the wrist bones sometimes called?
Short bones.
With what are bones covered?
A tough sheath, the periosteum, which contains many small nerve endings.
What is the tough sheath that bones are covered with called?
The periosteum
This is why a blow on a bone such as the shin is so painful...
Bones are covered by a tough sheath, the periosteum, which contains many small nerve endings.
Name the 2 types of bone.
Spongy (cancellous

Cortical
What are the 2 types of bone (spongy and cortical) composed of?
Haversian canals.
What are the functions of Haversian canals?
Haversian canals carry :

nerves
blood vessels
lymphatics,

surrounded by plates of bone and spaces containing bone cells: -

- osteoblasts and osteocytes, which produce bone, and osteoclasts,which absorb it.
They produce bone...

Percentage of bone remodeled in adults in a year?
15 percent
What is the appearance of spongy bone?
Has the appearance of a sponge as the canal are larger and the spaces contain bone marrow, comprised of blood and fat cells.
What do the spaces in spongy bone contain?
Bone marrow, comprised of blood and fat cells.
What are manufactured in long bones?
Red blood cells.

Red blood cells predominate in childhood, but in adults, this is replaced mainly by yellow, fatty marrow in the medullary cavity.
From what are bones formed?
From calcium and phosphorus derived from diet and combined to form calcium phosphate.
Bones are formed from calcium and phosphorus. Explain.
Bones are formed from calcium and phosphorus derived from diet and combined to form calcium phosphate.
In long bones, red blood cells are manufactured in the red bone marrow, which predominates in childhood, by what is the red bone marrow replaced in adults?
Mainly by yellow, fatty marrow in the medullary cavity.
What is the cavity called in which the yellow, fatty marrow can be found?
Medullary cavity
Where are red blood cells in the long bones manufactured?
In the red bone marrow (which predominates in childhood)
How do long bones grow?
As new bones are deposited by the layer beneath the periosteum and at bands of cartilage, called epiphyseal plates, near the articular surfaces, until full growth is reached between the ages of 18 and 25.
Describe the femur.
Shaft of femur
Patellar surface

Cortical bone

Bone marrow in medullary cavity

Cancellous spongy bone under patellar surface
What are the bands of cartilage called?
Epiphyseal plates
Where are the epiphyseal plates situated?
Near the articular surfaces
At which age does a bone reach full growth?
Ages 18-25 - when bone replaces this cartilage
At which age does bone stop growing?
Varies from one bone to another.
Where is a joint formed?
Where 2 bones meet.
What are the surfaces called on which joints move on one another?
Articular surfaces
Describe joints/
They are covered in articular cartilage, which acts as a cushion.
Name and describe the 3 types of joints.
FIBROUS JOINTS-are fixed and immovable (bones of skull)

CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS-slightly movable joints in which plate of fibrocartilage separates the bones (breastbone (sternum) and the vertebral bodies of the spinal column.

SYNOVIAL JOINTS-freely movable and lined by a membrane producing a lubricant, synovial fluid.
How many types of joints?
3
What is the purpose of synovial fluid?
Acts as a lubricant, produced by a membrane.
What separates the cartilaginous joints?
Plate of fibrocartilage.
How many varieties of synovial joint are there?
7
Name the 7 synovial joints.
HINGE JOINT

PIVOT JOINT

PLANE JOINT

BALL & SOCKET JOINT

CONDYLOID JOINTS

ELLIPSOID JOINT

SADDLE JOINT
Describe the hinge joint.
Moves up and down like the lid of a box
Describe the pivot joint.
Allows rotation only, as in the radius and ulna bones at the elbow or the 2nd bone in the neck.
Describe the plane joint.
Surfaces are flat, as in the wrist and foot.
Describe the ball and socket joints.
Such as shoulder and hip - can move in all directions.
Describe the condyloid joints.
Modified ball-and-socket joints that cannot move upward, such as the fingers and knuckle joints.
Describe the ellipsoid joint.
Another modified ball-and-docket joint in the wrist involving the carpal and radius bones, capable of all movements except rotation.
Describe the saddle joint.
Such as the thumb, moves on two axes at right angles to each other.
How would you describe joints?
Joints are surrounded by a capsule, which is further strengthened by ligaments.
Name 2 modified joints?
