What is the composition of the ECM of bone? |
- 15% water - 30% collagen fibers - 55% crystallized mineral salts |
|
What component of bone provides tensile strength and flexibility? |
Collagen fibers |
|
What component of bone provides hardness? |
Crystallized inorganic mineral salts |
|
Compare the untreated, baked, and acid-treated bones |
- untreated: moist, sturdy against force, still tissue attached, pink - baked: dry, brittle, flaky, orange-y - acid-treated: flexible, some decay in ends, look almost rubbery, red |
|
Which of the compared bones was brittle? What substance has been damaged that would increase bone breakage? |
- the baked bone is brittle - collagen fibers have been damaged. Decreases flexibility |
|
Which observed bone was the softest? What substance has been leached from the soft bone? |
- acid-treated - de-crystallized inorganic mineral salts were leached |
|
Compare/identify distinguishing features of the three types of vertebrae |
Cervical: small, one vertebral and two transverse foramina, slender often bifid spinous process (C2-C6), small transverse processes, posterosuperior superior articular facet and anteroinferior inferior articular facet, thick vertebral discs relative to body size Thoracic: larger, one vertebral foramina, long and fairly thick spinous process, fairly large transverse processes, articular facets for ribs present, posterolateral superior articular facets, anteromedial inferior articular facets, thin intervertebral discs relative to bodies Lumbar: largest, one vertebral foramina, short and blunt spinous processes (project posteriorly rather than inferiorly), large and blunt transverse processes, absent articular facets for ribs, medial superior facets, lateral inferior facets, massive intervertebral discs |
|
Compare and contrast normal/abnormal curvatures of the vertebral column |
- original curve in fetus is concave when viewing anteriorly - thoracic and sacral match original - cervical and lumbar in opposing direction - abnormalities: scoliosis (a lateral bending of the vertebral column), kyphosis (increase in thoracic curve), lordosis (increase in lumbar curve) |
|
Which bones make up the pectoral and pelvic girdles? |
pectoral: clavicle and scapula |
|
What are intervertebral discs made up of? |
- each has an outer fibrous ring consisting of fibrocartilage called the annulus fibrosis and an inner soft, pulpy, mucoid substance called the nucleus pulposus |
|
What is the difference between true, false, and floating ribs? |
True: 1-7 (have costal cartilage connecting directly to sternum) False: 8-12 (attached to costal cartilage indirectly or not at all (costal cartilage joins costal cartilage from true ribs) Floating: 11-12 (don't attach to sternum at all) |
|
What makes up the sacroiliac joint? |
The auricular surface of the sacrum articulates with the ilium of each hip bone |
|
How are the phalanges divided? |
- great toe: hallux - thumb: pollex - labelled 1-5, always originates at big toe/thumb proximal (closest to body), middle, and distal phalanges |
|

|
Demifacets on the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae articulate with: |
head of rib |
|
Superior articular processes of vertebrae articulate with: |
inferior articular process of superior vertebrae |
|
Inferior articular processes of vertebrae articulate with: |
Superior articular process of inferior vertebrae |
|
Superior articular process of sacrum articulates with: |
Fifth lumbar vertebrae |
|
Auricular surface of sacrum articulates with: |
Ilium of each hip bone (sacroiliac joint) |
|
Sternal end of clavicle articulates with: |
manubrium of sternum |
|
Acromial end of clavicle articulates with: |
Acromion of scapula |
|
Scapula articulates with: |
acromion: with acromial end of clavicle (acromioclavicular joint) glenoid cavity: with head of humerus (glenohumeral joint) |
|
Head of humerus articulates with: |
glenoid cavity of scapula |
|
Trochlea of humerus articulates with: |
Trochlear notch of ulna |
|
Coronoid process of ulna articulates with: |
Coronoid fossa of humerus |
|
Olecranon of ulna articulates with: |
Olecranon fossa of humerus |
|
Head of radius articulates with: |
- capitulum of humerus - radial notch of ulna |
|
Head of femur articulates with: |
acetabulum of hip bone (coxal joint) |
|
Medial condyle of femur articulates with: |
medial condyle of tibula |
|
Lateral condyle of femur articulates with: |
lateral condyle of tibula |
|

- one for medial condyle of femur - one for lateral condyle of femur |
|

|
List the 4 types of bones and give one example of each type. |
long --> humerus short --> trapezoid, wrist bone flat --> sternum irregular --> vertebra sesamoid --> patella |
|
How many pairs of ribs are there? |
12 |
|
What is the function of the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus? |
Attach to tendons of most muscles of the forearm
|
|
Do the carpal bones articulate with both radius and ulna distally? |
The proximal row of carpal bones articulates with the distal end of the ulna and radius to form the wrist joint |
|
Reconstruct the os coxae with the sacrum and name the points of articulation posteriorly and anteriorly |
Articulate with sacrum at sacroiliac joint, and with each-other anteriorly at pubic symphisis |
|
What is the function of the obturator foramen? |
Surrounded by the ramus and pubis. Blood vessels and nerves pass through it |
|

Tibia |
|
Which is the weight bearing bone of the leg? |
Tibia |
|
What is the function of the fibula? |
Is non-weight-bearing, but helps to stabilize the ankle joint |
|
Why are the first 2 cervical vertebrae very different in structure to the remaining cervical vertebrae? |
They allow for rotation of the head in "yes" and "no" directions, which is reflected in their structures |
|
What are three distinguishing features of the cervical vertebrae that you can use to distinguish them from vertebrae of the other spinal regions? |
- vertebral bodies are smaller - arches are larger - foramen in transverse process |
|
What are three distinguishing features of the thoracic vertebrae that you can use to distinguish them from vertebrae of the other spinal regions? |
- considerably larger than cervical and become progressively larger toward inferior - longer and larger transverse processes - costal facets (articular surfaces for ribs) |
|
What are three distinguishing features of the lumbar vertebrae that you can use to distinguish them from vertebrae of the other spinal regions? |
- largest and strongest of unfused vertebrae - lack transverse foramina - absence of costal articular facets - large, block-like bodies with kidney-shaped articular surfaces |
