    Study Notes

    Skeletal System Overview

    • The epiphysis is the site of spongy bone and hematopoiesis in adults.
    • The diaphysis, or bone shaft, consists of compact bone.

    Bone Marrow Types

    • Red marrow functions as the site for hematopoiesis, while yellow marrow primarily stores fat.

    Growth and Development

    • The epiphyseal plate is crucial for longitudinal growth in children.
    • The endochondral ossification process transforms a cartilage model into bone through multiple stages, including periosteum formation and cavity growth.

    Bone Cells

    • Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintain bone; they can die if deprived of nutrients.
    • Osteoblasts are immature, matrix-depositing cells found in the periosteum and are converted from osteoblasts when trapped in lacunae.
    • Osteoclasts break down bone matrix, releasing calcium into the bloodstream.

    Hormonal Regulation

    • Parathyroid hormone triggers calcium release from bones when blood calcium levels are low.
    • Calcitonin facilitates the deposition of calcium in bones, lowering blood calcium levels.

    Bone Structure

    • Concentric lamellae are layers of calcified matrix; canaliculi are tiny canals connecting lacunae where osteocytes reside.
    • The central canal houses blood vessels and nerves, contributing to the bone's vascular structure.

    Abnormalities and Conditions

    • Atrophy affects muscles and bones due to disuse (e.g., paralysis, lack of exercise).
    • Abnormal spinal curvatures include kyphosis (exaggerated thoracic curve) and scoliosis (lateral displacement of the vertebral column).

    Vertebrae Anatomy

    • The vertebral arch encloses the spinal cord; the body bears weight and articulates with ribs.
    • Spinous and transverse processes provide leverage for muscle attachment and rib articulation.

    Ribs Classification

    • True ribs (1-7) directly attach to the sternum, false ribs (8-12) connect indirectly, and floating ribs (11-12) do not attach anteriorly.

    Shoulder and Arm Bones

    • The shoulder girdle comprises the scapula and clavicle, while the humerus serves as the arm bone.
    • The acromion connects scapula and clavicle, and musculature attaches at the deltoid tuberosity.

    Pelvic Structure

    • The pelvic girdle is formed by coxal bones fused with the sacrum and differs between sexes regarding size and curvature.
    • Important features include the acetabulum, iliac crest, and sacroiliac joint.

    Leg and Foot Anatomy

    • The femur is the longest bone, articulating at the knee with the patella and tibia.
    • The tibia is the medial shinbone, while the fibula is the lateral bone of the leg.

    Fracture Types and Healing Process

    • Simple fractures do not break the skin, while compound fractures do.
    • Healing initiates with hematoma formation, followed by debris removal by phagocytes and the creation of granulation tissue for regeneration.

    Miscellaneous Facts

    • Sinuses are mucosa-lined air-filled cavities that lighten the skull and resonate sound.
    • The obturator foramen is formed by the pubic and ischial rami.
    • Tarsals and metatarsals form the structure of the ankle and foot instep, respectively.
