  • Back
This increases thickness and remodeling of all bones by osteoblasts and osteoclasts on bone surfaces
Appositional Growth
Increases length of long bones
Interstitial Growth
Cartilage cells undergo mitosis
Proliferation Zone
Older cartilage cells enlarge
Hypertrophic Zone
Matrix becomes calcified; cartilage cells die; matrix begins to deteriorate
Calcification Zone
New bone formation is occurring
Ossification Zone
Occurs when bone is injured or added strength is needed - requires a good diet. (vitamin c, d a)
Increases Bone Deposit
Breakdown of bone (with osteoclasts secreting enzymes)
Bone Resorption
What controls continual remodeling of bone?
Hormonal mechanisms, mechanical and gravitational forces.
What is calcium necessary for?
Transmission or nerve impulses, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, secretion of glands, cell division
A bone grows or remodels in response to forces or demands on it
Wolff's Law
If Blood Ca2+ levels drop, what occurs?
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) release PTH which stimulate osteoclasts to degrade bone matrix and release Ca2+
If blood Ca2+ goes up, what occurs?
Parafollicular cells of thyroid release calcitonin, osteoblasts deposit calcium salts
What supports Wolff's Law for being correct?
Righty/lefty becomes thicker. Curved bones are thickest where they may buckle, trabeculae form along stress lines, large bony projections occur where heavy active muscles attach
What are the 4 classications that Bone fractures fall under?
1. Position (displaced, nondisplaced)
2. Completeness (complete, incomplete)
3. Orientation (linear, transverse)
4. Penetration (compound, simple)
All fractures can be described in terms of what?
1. Location
2. External Appearance
3. Nature of break
Bones fragments that are breaking in 3 or more pieces (often occurring in older)
Comminuted Fracture
What fracture where bones become crushed because of external force
Compression Fracture
Fracture that occurs because of twisting forces
Spiral Fracture
Fracture that occurs on Epiphysis line, (occurs more in children)
Epiphyseal Fracture
Fracture where broken bone is pressed inwards
Depressed Fracture
Fracture where bone breaks incompletely, like in a green twig, only one side of shaft breaks the other bends
Greenstick Fracture
What are the 4 stages in the healing of a bone fracture?
1. Hematoma forms (immediate)
2. Fibrocartilaginous callus forms (1 week)
3. Bony Callus formation (2 months)
4. Bone Remodeling (many months)
What homeostatic imbalance causes bowed legs and other bone deformities?
Rickets (childhood)
Excess of bone resorbtion(bone loss) which outpaces deposit. Spongy bone of spine and neck become susceptible to fracture.
Osteoporosis
Precursor to Osteoporosis
Osteopenia
How would u treat/prevent Osteoporosis?
Prevent: Calcium, vitamin d, mineral salts, weightlifting, physically active. Women after menopause have increase bone loss. Some drugs: Fosamax, SERMs. Hormone replacement slows bone loss.
This disease is an excessive or haphazard bone formation, usually in spine, pelvis, femur, or skull.
Paget's Disease (treatment: calcitonin and biphosphates)
Developmental Aspects of Bone are?
-All bones are ossified by 25
- Bone mass decreases in 40's
- Rate of loss detemined by genetics/environment
- Old age-bone resorbtion predominates
What are the components of the axial skeleton?
-The skull (8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones)
-Bones associated with the skull (6 auditory ossicles and the hyoid bone)
-The thoracic cage (the sternum and 24 ribs)
-The vertebral column (24 vertebrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx)
What are the components of the appendicular skeleton?
consists of 126 bones, including the bones of the limbs and the pectoral and pelvic girdles that attach the limbs to the trunk.
