Radiographic A & P Skeletal System/Lower Leg

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Functions of Skeletal System (SS) Support   for tissues and organs suspended from skeletal framework  
🗑
Functions: Protection   for vital organs and soft tissue structures, ie. skull/brain, thoracic cage/heart, lungs great vessels  
🗑
Functions: Movement   muscles are anchored to bones and cooperatively produce movement  
🗑
Functions: Storage   for mineral salts, Particularly calcium phosphate ex: osetoporsis  
🗑
Functions: Hemopoiesis (hee-mo-poy-ee-sis)   Hemo=blood; poiesis=to make. Bone marrow aids in the production of Red Blood Celos (RBC) White Blood Cells (WBC) and platelets as well as storage for fat tisue. (small amt)  
🗑
Skeletal System 2 Major Divisions   Axial Skeleton= 80 bonesAppendicular Skeleton = 126 Total 206 Bones  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Includes Upper & Lower Extremities, Shoulder, Pelvic Girdles  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   Includes: Skull, Vertebral Column, Thoracic Cage & Hyoid Bone  
🗑
STRUCTURE: Name two type of Bone Tissue   Compact, Spongy.  
🗑
STRUCTURE:Compact Bone:   Stong, dense, outler layer, Primarily found in the diaphyses (shaft) of long bones  
🗑
STRUCTURE: 3 Types of Bone Cells   Osteoblast-Bone forming CelsOsteoclasts-get rid of waste in boneOsteocytes: Mature bone sites  
🗑
STRUCTURE: Periosteum   The tough, white outermost layer, thin. A membrane that covers a bone, is essential for bone growth, repair and nutrition of the bone  
🗑
STRUCTURE: Medullary Canal   Inner portion of a bone, made up of cancellous bone (spongy). Bone marrow is located w/in the medullary canal & is interspersed between the trabeculae (weblike on radiograph)  
🗑
STRUCTURE: Marrow   Fills spaces of cancellous bone, contains blood cells in various stages of development (osetoblast form), can be red or yellow  
🗑
STRUCTURE: Red Marrow   Site of RBC formation and some WBCs, Adults: sternum, ribs, vertebrae, epiphyses or pelvis. **Impt. for bone biopsy  
🗑
STRUCTURE: Yellow Marrow   Replaces red bone marrow in the adult except in the areas listed (sternum, ribs, vertebrae, ephiphyses or pelvis  
🗑
DEVELOPMENT OF BONES:Osteblasts   Bone forming cells  
🗑
DEVELOPMENT: Osteoclasts   Bone resorbing cells  
🗑
DEVELOPMENT: Endochondral Ossification (cartlidge into bone) (transforming)   The conbined action of osteoblast and osteoclasts "sculpts" bones into their adult shape.  
🗑
DEVELOPMENT: Diaphysis   The Diasphysis of a long bone is its primary center of ossification.  
🗑
DEVELOPMENT: Epiphyses   Growth occurs at the epiphyses, found at each end, secondary center of ossification. The epiphysis is separated from the diaphysis by cartilaginous plate called the EPIPHYSEAL PLATE (radioluscent end of long bone)  
🗑
DEVELOPMENT: MetaPhysisMeta=change   The Metaphysis is found on the diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate it is the area of newest growth on the bone. Growth ceases when all epiphyseal cartilage is transformed into bone.Radiograph, it will be more whiter.  
🗑
CLASSIFICATIONS: Long Bones   Long Bones include: Humerus, femur, tibia, viula, radius, ulna, metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges (2 articulating ends except Distal phalanges 1 art. endd)  
🗑
CLASSIFICATIONS: Short Bones   Short Bones, Includes Carpals, Tarsals  
🗑
CLASSIFICATIONS: Flat Bones   Flat Bones, Scapula, Ribs, Sternum, Bones of the skull vault.  
🗑
CLASSIFICATIONS: Irregular Bones   Irregular Bones include Vertebrae, bones of the skull base.  
🗑
CLASSIFICATIONS: Sesamoind Bones   Sesamoind Bones formed out of the tendon, formed in area with lots of friction, 1 metatrasal phalangeal jt. 1st digit, patella  
🗑
CLASSIFICATIONS: Wormian Bones   stutures of the skull, womain bones fill in the spaces sutures don't meet  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Tibia   Also called the shin bone, much larger than the fibula. On MEDIAL ASPECT of the lower leg and bears most the wt. PROXIMAL END is expanded and inc. medial & laer condyles that articulate w/ the respective condyle of the femur.  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Tibia   TIBIAL PLATEAU-is the smooth, flat proximal surface between the condyles. INTCONDYLOID EMINENCES or TIBIAL SPINES:R 2 sharp projections extending upward from the plateau (torn cart. in knee where attached)  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Tibia   FIBULAR FACET-located on POSTERIOR & LATERAL aspect of the lateral condyle allowing for articulation w/ fibular head forms PROXIMAL TIBIO-FIBULAR JOINT  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Tibia   TIBIAL TUREROSITY-is the rasied roughened area located ANTERIORLY just below the patella.ANTERIOR CRESTor TIBIAL CREST is ridge extending the lenght of tibial diaphysis.  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Tibia   MEDIAL MALLEOLUS(malAyus)-lg. plpable process locagted at the DISTAL end on MEDIAL aspect. FIBULAR NOTCH-sm depression on DISTAL & LATERaspect art.w/ fibula forming the DISTAL TIBIO-FIBULAR JT.  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Tibia   The INFERIOR SURFACE of the tibia is concave and articulates with the trochlea of the TALUS forming the ankle joint. TALO-TIBIA JT.  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Fibula   Called Calf bone, Much smaller than tibia, bears no wt. located LATERAL & slight POSTERIOR aspect of lower leg  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Fibula   Fibular head -located at the proximal end-art. with FIBULAR FACET of TIBIA. FIBULAR NECK-constricted area immediately DISTAL to the head.LATERAL MALLEOLUS-enloarged bony process loc. @ DISTAL end art w/ TALUS @ TALO-FIBULAR JT  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   AKA Thigh Bone. Longest, strongest & heaviest bone in the body, extends from hip to knee. FEMORAL HEAD-lg rounded bony prominence @ PROXIMAL END art. w/ ACETABULUM OF THE PELVIS  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   FOVEA CAPITIS-a small depression on the MEDIAL ASPECT of femoral head allows for ligament attachment FEMORAL NECK-a constricted area just DISTAL to the head-common fx site esp in elderly clients  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   GREATER TROCHANTER (*RADIOGRAPHIC LANDMARK*) very lg bony prominence @ the PROXIMAL end on the lateral aspect. *lies in same plane of the pubic bones**  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   LESSER TROCHANTER-much smaller promince located on MEDIAL ASPECT POSTERIOR both trochanters serve as attachment area for thigh & buttock muscles  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   INTERTROCHANTERIC CREST-prominent ridge located between the trochanters on the POSTERIOR aspect for muscle attachment. INTERTROCHANTERIC LINE-a faint ridge located between trochanter on ANTERIOR ASPECT for muscle attachment. SUPERIMPOSED ONLY SEE CREST  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   FEMORAL CONDYLES- Medial & lateral located DISTALLY articulate with Tibial Condyles respectively. the MEDIAL Condyle is large than the Lateral Condyle  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Femur   PATELLAR SURFACE: Smooth, triangular shaped dperession on ANTERIOR ASPECT located between the femoral condyles. INTERCONDYLOID FOSSA-deep depression between condyles seen on POSTERIOR aspect. the INTERCONDYLOID eminences of the tibia project n2 this sp.  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Patella   AKA Knee cap, small triangular shaped bone, develops in quadriceps tendon. LG SESAMOID BONE in the body.Superior edge called base,pointed inferior surface-Apex POSTERIOR surface has 2 art facets for art w/ condyle of femur  
🗑
LOWER LEG: Patella   3/4 yr old start to get patella. When leg is sgtraightened the patella can move slightly over the patellar surface. When knee is flexed the patella is locked n2 post. in front of the knee joint by quadriceps tendon  
🗑
