Bones

TermDefinition
Bone Functions Protection - organs (axial), movement (appendicular), support, makes blood, and stores calcium.
Calcium Function Muscle contractions, nerve conduction, and helps the heart beat.
Osteoporosis Porous/hole in bones, more common in women due to pregnancy since baby takes calcium from mom, genetic as well.
Hyaline Cartilage Smoothes joints, connects ribs, and becomes calcified when older.
Elastic cartilage Stretchy, found in ears, and respiratory.
Fibrocartilage Knees, ankles, and shock absorbers.
Long Bones Appendicular and longer than wide.
Irregular Bone Vertebra, zygomatic,pelvis, etc, and irregular, axial
Flat Bone Intra-membranous sack bones, ie: sternum, cranium, axial
Short Bone Squarish, short, tarsals, and carpals, appendicular
Sesamoid Bone Special and develops inside a tendon. Found in kneecap and big toe.
Spongy Bone Inside, trabeculae on the inside, makes blood and calcium, and has red bone marrow in between.
Compact Bone Found on the outside, supports, protects, and aids in movement.
Trabeculae Found in spongy bone, and you stretch you will build thicker trabeculae, and gain calcium.
Hydroxyapatite Calcium and phosphate salts that make bone strong, found in trabeculae and lamellae.
Osteogenic cells Bone stem cell, cell can become other types of bone, can be tendons, bone marrow, and blood cells.
Osteoblast Make bone, matrix synthesizing, lamellae, and trabeculae.
Osteocyte Bone cell, and lacunae
Osteoclast Bone reabsorbing cell/eats up bone.
Osteogenesis Process of bone formation
Prenatal (Intra-membranous ossification) Making bone inside fibrous membrane, flat bones. The membrane sac turns into cranium and ribs. Periosteum and during growth and development it contributes to bone elongation and modeling.
Prenatal (Endo-chondrial ossification) Inside cartilage, hyaline, leg started off as pretend bones made of cartilage.
Post-natal (Interstitial bone growth) Elongation of bone, growth plate, stops, and closes: It involves the expansion of cartilage tissue within the epiphyseal plates (growth plates) at the ends of the bones
Regulators of postnatal bone growth Growth hormone: pituitary gland + drives the elongation of long bones, Thyroid hormone - metabolism, crucial for bone maturation and remodeling. Calcium mineral component of bone, provides the necessary raw material
Appositional Bone Growth Growth in width and thickness, grows thicker based on stress. Older people should walk around, minor weight bearing activities since it aids the femur (weight bearer).
Appositional Bone Growth Regulator Calcium, vitamin D (absorbs), Vitamin A (absorbs), Phosphorus (hydroxyapatite), Magnesium.
Displaced vs Non. Displaced Out of place/alignment
Complete vs Incomplete Full break vs Not, "stress fracture" (crack).
Simple vs. Compound Comes out of skin (compound) and stays inside skin (simple).
Linear vs Transverse Linear (line of bone/vertical), and transverse (Move in - across bone or horizontal.
Irr. Comminuted Shatter, breaks in fragments, car accidents, and common in older, treated with surgery: plates, wires, and screws.
Irr. Compression Porous bones, squishes, wrists and vertebra,
Irr. Spiral Ragged break, excessive twists, tibia, femur, maybe arm, in sports that require turning.
Irr. Epiphysis Epiphysis separates from diaphysis along epiphyseal. Snap the other one so they stop growing together.
Irr. Depression Only in flat bones, ribs, sternum, and cranium, pressed inwards, "cracked skull".
Irr. Greenstick Incomplete, stress, occurs in kids (bendy), not all the way through.
Repair Step 1: Hematoma forms (bruise/blood-clot), veins and artery rupture, and blood leaks into the surrounding tissue.
Repair Step 2: Fibrocartilaginous callus, a temporary, soft tissue structure. forms fills in the space, closes and aligns, otherwise fibrocartilage cannot heal.
Repair Step 3: Bony callus forms, bone is produces and creates a bump.
Repair Step 4: Bone remodeling: osteoclast smoothes out
Rickets Problems with calcium and vitamin D in orphanages, babies, deformations, surgeries, by breaking and reforming
Airspace Reduce weight, sinus - voice resonance chamber, helps with air processing. Frontal , Ethmoid, Sphenoid, and Maxillary sinus.
Curvature in Spine Has to have a curve, cervical: in, Thoracic: out, Lumbar: in, sacrum: out, coccyx: in.
Lordosis Exaggerated curvature of the lumbar vertebrae, developmental
Scoliosis Lateral curvature of the spine: decrease heart + lung room
Human tail Turned in sometimes it stays out.
Fontanelle Fibrous membrane that is not filled in with bone: plates need to move to fit through pelvis, brain needs to grow, started off as membrane
Types of Fontanelles 1 Anterior Soft spot, lasts the longest: top of the head. Posterior: back of the head, between the parietal and occipital bones. ,
Types of Fontanelles 2 Mastoid: two small, symmetrical fontanelles located on the sides of the head, behind the ears. Sphenoid: symmetrical fontanelles located on the front sides of the head, between the parietal and sphenoid bones
Babies + spinal curve Babies lack cervical curve, rounded to fit into uterus, no cervical curve until after birth. Babies do not need to walk (lumbar), and thoracic and sacral curvature.
Kyphosis Exaggerates curvature of the thoracic, (Hunchback)
