The tissue bone is made of and the composition of the tissue.

what is osseous connective tissue
• Specialized cells
• Solid extracellular matrix with collagen fibers

100

The five general functions of the skeletal sysem.

what is: 

1. Anchorage

2. Structure

3. Protection

4. Storage of mineral and fats

5. Make blood cells 

100

The meaning of appositional growth and interstitial growth.

What is growth in diameter and growth in length, receptively.

100

Caused by shortened achilles tendon, exaggerated longitudinal arch, rotated medially and inverted, 1/1000 births, more common in boys, ponseti treatment: series of braces that stretch out the tendon.  

what is clubfoot

100

the three fused bones that make up the hip bone

what is

• Ilium
• Ischium
• Pubis

200

The bone matrix composition and the importance of their balance.

What is: 

- collagen fibers of osteoid that provide strength and slight flexibility (About 1/3 of bone mass) 

and

- hydroxyapatite crystals formed from calcium that provide hardness (About 2/3 of bone mass)

if these components come in the right amounts, bone is extremely strong and durable without being brittle!

200

The effect of exercise on bones.

what is mineral recycling allows bones to adapt to stress, heavily stressed bones become thicker and stronger, weight-bearing exercise stimulates
osteoblasts

200

The two components of bone remodeling. 

what is:

  • Bone resorption: osteoclasts secrete acids and digestive enzymes at ruffles border which break down old bone

  • Bone formations: osteoblasts lay down calcium fibers and mineral deposits where bone was broken down. 

200

The nine types of fractures.

what is:

  • Transverse

  • Displacement

  • Comminuted

  • Green Split

  • Colles

  • Potts

  • Spiral

  • Compression

  • Epiphyseal 

200
The differences of the female skull and pelvis from the male skull and pelvis

what is

  • Female skull: lighter, tall (less sloped), smoother, smaller

  • Female pelvis: smoother, lighter, wider, broader, over 100º angle of pubic bones
300

The six classifications of the bones and an example for each

what is: 

1. Short: carpal bones

2. Sesamoid: patella 

3. Sutural: (don't need to know?) 

4. Long: radius, ulna, femur, etc. 

5. Irregular: vertebrae 

6. flat: parietal bone 

300

The effect of nutrition (vitamins...) on bones.

What is vitamin A for osteoblast activity, vitamin C for collagen fiber production, and vitamin D for synthesizing the hormone calcitriol in the kidneys which is needed for ion absorption in digestive tract.

  • Phosphate and calcium ion important for normal growth and maintenance. 

300

the four type of bone cells and their functions.

what is: 

  • Osteogenic cells: make way for all other bones cells, mitotically active, some stay osteogenic cells, stimulated to become osteoblasts

  • Osteoblasts: bone building cells, mitotically active, ossification, produce/secrete osteoid and calcium binding proteins, which when bind to calcium make little crystals which make way for hydroxyapatite crystals 

  • Osteocytes: mature bone cells, for stress resistance, sit in lacunae, provide support for external stimuli such as weightlessness or impact. 

  • Osteoclasts: bone breaking cells in charge of resorption, secrete enzymes and acids at ruffled borders to dissolve bone and release minerals. Mitotically active 

300

three spine curvature abnormalities 


  • Scoliosis: s or c sideways shape

  • Lordosis: over arches back, lumbar curved inward. 

  • Kyphosis: hunchback

300

The fibrous sheet that connects lateral margin of ulna to radius

 what is the interosseous membrane

400

The difference compositions of spongy and compact bone. 

what is:

Spongy

  • Trabeculae: lamellae, osteocytes, canculi

  • Yellow and red bone marrow in between trabeculae

Compact

  • Central canal

  • Perforating canal

  • Osteon: osteocytes in lacunae, canaliculi, concentric lamella

  • Circumferential lamellae

  • Interstitial lamellae

400

The functions of the Inferior Nasal Conchae. 

What are slow inhaled air, air turbulence in the nasal cavity, increased epithelial surface area to warm and humidify inhaled air.

400

The steps in intramembranous ossification.

what is:

  1. Mesenchymal cells become osteoblasts

  2. Osteoblast become osteocytes: spicules

  3. Spicules surrounded by blood vessels

  4. Osteoblasts deposit bone in between blood vessels making spongy bone

  5. Compact bone forms

400

Three types of abnormal bone development and what they mean. 

what is

  • Pituitary dwarfism: Lack of growth hormone (GH) leads to short bones

  • Gigantism: Results from overproduction of GH before puberty

  • Acromegaly: Results from excess GH after epiphyseal closure (wide 🫪)

400

the seven tarsal bones

what is

1. Talus
2. Calcaneus (heel bone)
3. Cuboid
4. Navicular
5. Medial cuneiform
6. Intermediate cuneiform
7. Lateral cuneiform

500

The composition of short, irregular, and flat bones.

what is a "sandwich" of spongy bone in between compact bone.

Periosteum: double-layered membrane

  • Outer layer, has nutrient foramen, for other connective tissues to attach to bone, 

  • Inner: has osteogenic cells

  • Perforating: made of collagen fibers bundles

Endosteum:

  • Mostly line medullary cavity, 

  • Covers trabeculae of spongy bone

  • Also has osteogenic cells

500

The important parts and functions of the infant skull. 

What is grows rapidly, large compared to the body, many ossification centers, incomplete fusion of bones at birth (two frontal bones, four occipital bones, multiple sphenoid and temporal elements), and fontanelles (large areas of fibrous connective tissue) that allow the skull to flex during birth and cover unfused sutures in the infant skull.

500

the seven steps of endochondral ossification. 

what is:

  1. Chondrocytes cells get big and die to leave space

  2. Surface of cartilage invaded by blood vessels and osteoblasts

  3. Invade center to from primary ossification center: make spongy bone

  4. Make medullary cavity

  5. Capillaries and osteoblast move into epiphysis, make secondary ossification centers

  6. Epiphyses become filled with spongy bone; epiphyseal cartilage now located within metaphysis
    • Shaft side – osteoblasts create bone
    • Epiphyseal side – new cartilage is created

  7. Cartilage production slows while osteoblast activity is accelerated, leads to epiphyseal closure

500

The four steps of fracture repair. 

What is:

1. Blood clot forms/hematoma formation

2. External and internal callus on the periosteum and endosteum

3. Spongy bone reforms

4. Compact bone reforms

500

what is

Four proximal carpal bones
• Scaphoid
• Lunate
• Triquetrum
• Pisiform

Four distal carpal bones
• Trapezium
• Trapezoid
• Capitate
• Hamate
