Study Notes
Body Regions and Orientational Terms
- Frontal region includes facial areas such as orbital (eye), temporal (side of head), nasal (nose), buccal (cheek), oral (mouth), mental (chin), and cervical (neck).
- Anatomical position: standing, limbs aligned, palms facing forward, soles flat on ground.
Orientational Terms
- Cranial: toward the head; caudal: toward the tail; anterior: front; posterior: back.
- Superior: toward the head; inferior: toward the feet.
- Ventral (belly side) and dorsal (back side) in non-human orientation; anterior and posterior in humans.
- Medial: closer to midline; lateral: further from midline; deep/internal: toward the core; superficial/external: towards the surface.
- Proximal: closer to the trunk; distal: further from the trunk.
- Intermediate: between two structures; ipsilateral: same side; contralateral: opposite sides.
Bipedal Lying Positions
- Supine: lying face up; prone: lying face down.
Anatomical Sections
- Sagittal: divides body into right and left sections.
- Frontal (coronal): divides into anterior and posterior sections.
- Transverse (horizontal): divides into superior and inferior sections.
Cartilage and Bone Comparison
- Cartilage provides flexible support; bone is rigid.
- Cartilage resists shearing less effectively than bone; both have tensile strength.
- Cartilage is less dense compared to denser bone.
Structure and Growth of Cartilage
- Composed of chondrocytes within a flexible matrix of collagen fibers.
- Perichondrium: membrane surrounding cartilage, aids in repair.
- Interstitial growth: expands from within via chondrocyte division.
- Appositional growth: thickens from the surface by chondroblast activity.
Types of Cartilage
- Hyaline: most abundant, found in nose and joints.
- Fibrocartilage: contains thick collagen fibers, found between vertebrae.
- Elastic cartilage: contains elastic fibers, found in the ear.
Bone Composition and Functions
- Bones have a rigid, mineralized matrix primarily made of collagen and hydroxyapatite crystals.
- Functions include support, protection, movement, mineral storage, and blood cell production.
Bone Cells
- Osteoblasts: build extracellular matrix; mature into osteocytes.
- Osteocytes: maintain the bone matrix.
- Osteoprogenitor cells: can differentiate into osteoblasts.
- Osteoclasts: break down extracellular matrix, assisting in bone repair.
Bone Types and Structure
- Lamellar bone: organized collagen fibers, strong and slow-growing.
- Non-lamellar bone: irregular arrangement of fibers; faster-growing but weaker.
- Compact bone: dense outer layer with weight-bearing osteons.
- Spongy bone: internal meshwork of trabeculae providing lightness.
Osteons
- Central canal contains passages for nerves and blood vessels.
- Osteons are weight-bearing structures arranged in concentric layers.
Periosteum and Endosteum
- Periosteum: outer fibrous layer with nerves and blood vessels; facilitates tendon and ligament attachment.
- Endosteum: thin inner membrane lining bone spaces.
Types of Bones Based on Shape
- Long bones: limbs and fingers.
- Short bones: wrist (carpals) and ankle (tarsals).
- Flat bones: ribs, scapulae, and cranial bones.
- Irregular bones: vertebrae and pelvic bones.
Periosteum Overview
- Has an outer fibrous layer and inner cellular layer; fibers penetrate into bone matrix.
- Not to be confused with endosteum, which is the thin lining inside bones.
