Study Notes
Neurocranium - 8 Bones
- 1 frontal bone
- 2 parietal bones
- 2 temporal bones
- 1 occipital bone
- 1 sphenoid bone
- 1 ethmoid bone
Viscerocranium - 14 Bones
- 2 maxilla bones
- 2 nasal bones
- 2 lacrimal bones
- 2 inferior nasal conchae
- 1 vomer bone
- 1 mandible
- 2 zygomatic bones
- 2 palatine bones
Mandible
- Articulates with temporal bone
- Forms the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
Fontanels to Sutures
- Fontanels are fibrous membranes
- Flexible and allow for brain growth
- Ossify eventually, forming sutures
Spine
- 24 vertebrae stacked on top of sacrum and coccyx
- 2 curve types (kyphosis, lordosis)
- 4 curves:
- Cervical lordosis
- Thoracic kyphosis
- Lumbar lordosis
- Sacral kyphosis
- Scoliosis - lateral bending of the spine
Vertebrae Types
- Cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5)
Synovial Joints
- Uniaxial
- Pivot
- Hinge
- Biaxial
- Condyloid
- Saddle
- Multiaxial
- Ball and Socket
- Planar
Joint Stability vs Mobility
- Knee joint is a complex joint
- Has a high degree of mobility
- But also needs to be stable
- Ligaments and muscles help to achieve this balance
Ligament Sprains
- Grade 1: Slight tear
- Grade 2: Incomplete tear
- Grade 3: Complete tear!
- RICE method:
- Rest
- Ice
- Compression
- Elevation
- SPRAIN is for ligaments
- STRAIN is for muscle
Muscular System
- Components:
- Muscles
- Tendons/aponeuroses
- Motor units
- Functions:
- Movement
- Maintain posture and position
- Sphincter control
- Homeostasis
Skeletal System
- Components:
- Bones
- Cartilage
- Ligaments
- Functions:
- Support
- Protection
- Force translation
- RBC production
- Mineral storage
Bone Development
- Begins in utero and continues until around 20 years
- Grows from the epiphyseal plates at the end of each bone
- Osteoblasts - Build bones
- Osteoclasts - “Crush” bones
- During times of high bone growth, high osteoblast content
Adaptations to Bones
- Exercise:
- Impact and weight bearing activities
- Increases osteoblasts
- Aging:
- Osteoclasts increase
- Decreases bone production and increases bone absorption
- Can lead to osteoporosis
Bone Attachments
- Projections that act as anchor points
Bone Pathways
- Depressions, holes, openings
Types of Joints
- Fibrous: Immovable
- Sutures, syndesmosis, gomphosis
- Cartilaginous: Small amount of movement, very stable
- Symphysis
- Synovial: Mobile, specialized joints for large movements
- Elbow, wrist, hip
Joint Shape
- Shape of joint affects:
- Function
- Stability
- Biaxial Joints:
- Carpals, Metacarpals, Metatarsals
- Uniaxial Joints:
- Elbow, Vertebrae
- Multiaxial Joints:
- Ball and Socket (Shoulder)
Joint Movements
- Abduction/Adduction
- Flexion/Extension
- Rotation
- Circumduction
Axial Skeleton
- Bones of the trunk
- Skull and mandible
- Hyoid bone
- Vertebral column
- Ribs
- Sternum
Appendicular Skeleton
- Bones of the upper and lower limbs
- Pelvic girdle
- Shoulder girdle
- Bones of the upper and lower limb
Bone Health and Aging
- Increased impact and weight-bearing activities increase bone mass
- Aging:
- Decreased collagen
- Increased bone brittleness
- Can lead to osteoporosis
Fracture Types
-
Simple Fractures
- Greenstick: Only bone
- Epiphyseal: Only bones
-
Compound Fractures
- Bone/bone fragments pierce skin
Fracture Types (Specific Types)
- Spiral
- Compression
- Comminuted
- Depressed
Types of Bones (Examples)
- Long bones: Femur
- Short bones: Tarsal bones
- Flat bones: Sternum
- Sesamoid bones: Patella
- Irregular bones: Vertebrae
Articulations
- Bony surfaces that rub together
Motor Units
- Consist of one motor neuron and all muscle fibers it innervates.
Aging and Muscle Mass
- Muscle mass is replaced by adipose tissue and fibrous connective tissue.
Planes of Movement
- Frontal plane: Movement around the sagittal axis
- Adduction, abduction
Skull Bones
- Vomer bone does not exist as a pair (2 - one each side)
Muscular System Components
- Heart is not a component of the muscular system.
Osteoblasts
- Lay down new bone.
