Study Notes
Cellular Molecules and Signaling
- Exocytosis is a process involved in the signaling of neural molecules.
Appendicular Skeleton
- Consists of the bones of the upper limbs, lower limbs, and two girdles (pectoral and pelvic)
- Total bones: 126
- Four categories of bones based on shape:
- Long bones (e.g., most bones in upper and lower limbs)
- Short bones (e.g., bones in the wrist and ankle)
- Flat bones (e.g., certain skull bones, ribs, scapulae, and sternum)
- Irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae and facial bones)
Bone Development and Growth
- Osteoblasts produce compact bone on the surface of cartilage model, forming a bone collar
- Primary Ossification Center: forms as osteoblasts produce bone on the surface of calcified cartilage
- Secondary Ossification Center: created in the epiphyses by osteoblasts that migrate into epiphysis
- Endosteum: a single-cell layer of connective tissue that lines the internal surfaces of all cavities within bones
- Bone formation in the fetus follows two processes: intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification
Bone Remodeling and Repair
- Bone Remodeling: a process where old bone is replaced with new bone
- Four Major Steps in Bone Repair:
- Hematoma Formation
- Callus Formation
- Callus Ossification
- Bone Remodeling
- Calcium Homeostasis: calcium is a critical physiological regulator of many processes required to achieve and maintain homeostasis
Pectoral Girdle and Upper Limb
- Pectoral Girdle: consists of two pairs of bones that attach each of the upper limbs to the body
- Scapula: a flat, triangular bone that can easily be seen and felt in a living person
- Clavicle: commonly known as the collarbone
- Forearm: consists of two bones, the ulna and radius
- Hand: consists of metacarpal bones and phalanges
Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limb
- Pelvic Girdle: consists of two hip bones and the sacrum
- Hip Bone: forms the pelvic girdle
- Sacrum: part of the pelvic girdle
- Lower Limb: consists of femur, patella, tibia, fibula, and phalanges
Skeletal Anatomy Overview
- Foramen: a hole in a bone
- Canal or Meatus: an elongated hole that forms a tunnel-like passage through the bone
- Fossa: a depression in a bone
- Tubercle or Tuberosity: a rounded projection on a bone
- Process: a sharp projection from a bone
- Condyle: a smooth, rounded end of a bone, where it forms a joint with another bone
Axial Skeleton
- Axial Skeleton: forms the central axis of the body
- Skull: consists of 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones, a total of 22 bones
- Cranial Bones:
- Frontal bone
- 2 Parietal bones
- 2 Temporal bones
- Occipital bone
- Sphenoid bone
- Ethmoid bone
