  • Front
  • Back

These primary organs lie buried beneath the muscles and other soft tissues providing a rigid frame work and support for the whole body

Bones

Bone contains this vital tissue. the blood cell forming tissue

Red bone marrow

The four types of bones are

Long flat short and irregular

Some scientist recognize another category of bones called

Sesamoid

A hollow tube or shaft made from compact bone

Diaphysis

The hollow area inside the diaphysis of a bone that contain soft yellow bone marrow

Medullary cavity

Red bone marrow fills in small spaces in the spongy bone composing the epiphyses. The ends of bones

Articular cartilage

Strong fibrous membrane covering a long bone everywhere except the joint surfaces

Periosteum

The thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity

Endosteum

Is the long bone of the arm and the second longest bone in the body

Humorous

The bones of the forearm

Radius and ulna

Collar bones

Clavicle

Shoulder blades

Scapula

Bone on the thumb side of the lower arm

Radius

Bone on the finger side of the lower arm

Ulna

Irregular bones at the end of the hand or wrist

Carpal bones

Form the framework of the palm of the hand

Metacarpals

Finger bones 3 on each finger two on each thumb

Phalanges

The largest tarsel bone or heel bone

Calcaneus

Shinbone

Tibia

Long slender bone of lateral side of leg

Fibula

Form the heel and back part of foot

Tarsal bones

Form the part of the foot which the toes are attached

Metatarsal

Toe bones 3 on each toe two on each great toe

Phalanges

A large depression on the posterior surface of the humerus

Olecranon fossa

The large bony process of the ulna

Olecranon process

Distally the femur articulates with the kneecap or

Patella

The arch that lies on the inside part of the foot is called

Medial longitudinal arch

The arch that lies along the outer edge of the foot

Lateral longitudinal arch

Three types of joint according to degree of movement

Synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarhroses

Is a joint in which fibrous connective tissue grows between the articulating bones holding them close together. Joint do not have significant movement

Synarthroses

Is a joint in which part which connects the articulating bones. Only slight movement between joined bones.

Amphiarthrosis

Caused by pressure of sudden exertion or injury may push it all into spinal canal. Severe pain may result if the disc presses on the spinal cord

Herniated disc

The vast majority of joints. Joints allow considerable movement sometimes in many directions or only in two directions. This joint has a joint capsule

Diarthroses

Is made of the body strongest and toughest material fibrous connective tissue and is lined with a smooth slippery synovial membrane.

Joint capsule

Covers the joint ends of bones and acts like a rubber heel or shoe it absorbs jolts

Articular cartilage

Or like hinges on a door allowed movement in only two directions mainly flexion and extension

Hinge joints

Only one pair of these joints exist in the body between the metacarpal bone of each sum and a carpal bone of the wrist

Saddle joints

Are the least movable diarthrotic joints. Their flat articulating surfaces allow limited gliding movements such as that at the superior and inferior articulating processes between successive vertebrae

Gliding joints

These are joints in which a condyle fits into an elliptical socket. An example is the fit of the distal end of the radius into depressions in the carpal bones.

Condyloid joint

This is a joint in which a ball shaped head of one bone fits into a concave socket of another. Example would be hip and shoulder joint

Ball and socket joint

Are joints in which small projections of one bone pivots in an arch of another bone. An example a projection of the axis the second vertebrae in the neck pivots in an arch of the Atlas the first vertebra of the neck

Pivot joint

The most common and devastating malignant neoplasm of bone and is usually located in the femur is called

Osteosarcoma

Is a cancer of skeletal hyaline cartilage tissue and is the second most common type of cancer affecting bones

Chondrosarcoma

Is the name of the disorder in which bones lose minerals and become less dense.

Osteoporosis

Compression fractures of the vertebrae result in a short in stature and the classic Kiphosis of the of the thoracic spine

Dowagers hump

Loss of minerals from bone related vitamin D deficiency

Demineralization

Involves demineralization of developed bones in infants and young children before skeleton maturity

Rickets

Is demineralation of bones that have already matured

Osteomalacia

Is characterized by localized intermittent an uncontrolled episodes of almost frenzied osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity

Paget disease or osteitis deformans

Is a genetic disease that can affect 1 and 30000 first and is also called brittle bone disease

Osteogenesis imperfecta

Is the general name for bacterial infections of bone and marrow tissue. Staphylococcus is the bacteria most common of pathogens found in this condition.

Osteomyelitis

Are fractures in which bone pierces the skin and invite the possibility of infection or osteomyelitis

Open fractures

D these fractures also known as simple fractures do not pierce the skin and so do not pose an immediate danger of bone infection

Closed fractures

Is a fracture when bone fragments separate completely

Complete fractures

Are fractures in which a bone is bent but broken only on the outer curve of the bend and are often called greenstick fractures

Incomplete fracture

Are fractures that produce many fragments

Comminuted fractures

These fractures occur when bone fragments are driven into each other

Impacted fractures

A fracture line is parallel to the bones long axis

Linear fracture

A fracture line is at a right angle to the bones long axis

Transverse fracture

Is a fracture line is diagonal to the bones long axis. The fracture line seems to spiral around the bone like the stripes of a candy cane the fracture may also be called spiral fracture

Oblique fracture

Known as degenerative joint disease is the most common non-inflammatory disorder of movable joints

Osteoarthritis

Occurs when the articular surfaces of bones forming the joint are no longer in proper contact with each other

Dislocation or subluxation

Is used to describe an injury involving the musculotendinous unit and may involve the muscle the tendon and the junction between the two as well as their attachments to bone

Strain

In cases of violent muscle contractions can cause a fracture in which a piece of bone is pulled free

Avulsion fracture

A type of immune disease that involves chronic inflammation of connective tissues. It begins in the synovial membrane and spreads to the cartilage and other tissues often causing severe crippling

Rheumatoid arthritis

Is more severe than the adult form but involves similar deterioration and deformity of joints. The joint inflammatory process often destroys growth of the cartilage and growth of long bones is arrested

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

Is a metabolic condition in which uric acid a nitro Genesis wave increases in the blood. Excess uric acid is deposited as sodium urate crystals in distal joints and other tissues

Gouty arthritis or gout

A variety of pathogens can infect synovial membrane and other joint tissues

Infectious arthritis

Was identified in Old Lyme Connecticut in 1975 and is caused by a spirochete bacterium carried by deer ticks

Lyme disease or Lyme arthritis

Is a group of bacteria called ehrlichia and is also carried by ticks and includes the agents that cause the various forms of

Ehrlichiosis
