Study Notes
Bone Growth and Remodeling
- Long bones grow in length due to cartilage growth at the epiphyseal plate
- Cartilage is replaced by bone at the epiphyseal plate
- Articular cartilage remains at the ends of the bones and doesn't get replaced by bone
- Growth in bone width is achieved by bone forming on the outside of bone (periosteum)
- Bone remodeling occurs throughout life and involves bone resorption and deposition
- Bone remodeling is influenced by hormones, physical activity, and diet
- During bone repair, a hematoma forms at the fracture site
- Fibrocartilage callus forms after the hematoma
- Bony callus forms replacing the fibrocartilage callus
- Bone remodeling occurs to remodel the bony callus into mature bone
Bone Fractures
- Bone fractures are breaks in the bone
- Common types of fractures include simple, compound, comminuted, and greenstick fractures
Axial Skeleton
- The axial skeleton forms the longitudinal axis of the body
- The axial skeleton is divided into the skull, vertebral column, and bony thorax
Vertebral Column (Spine)
- There are 33 vertebrae in the vertebral column, including 24 presacral and 9 sacral vertebrae
- The primary spinal curvatures are in the thoracic and sacral regions
- Primary spinal curvatures are present at birth
- Secondary spinal curvatures are in the cervical and lumbar regions
- Secondary spinal curvatures develop after birth
- Each vertebra consists of a body, vertebral arch, vertebral foramen, transverse processes, spinous process, and superior and inferior articular processes
Bones of the Lower Limbs
- The lower leg has two bones: the tibia (shinbone) and fibula
- The tibia is larger and medially oriented
- The fibula is thin and sticklike and lateral to the tibia
- The distal end of the tibia forms the medial malleolus, which forms the inner part of the ankle
- The distal end of the fibula forms the lateral malleolus, which forms the outer part of the ankle
Joints
- Synovial joints are freely movable joints
- Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a joint cavity, articular cartilage, synovial membrane, and articular capsule
- The joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and reduces friction
- Bursae are flattened fibrous sacs that are lined with synovial membranes and filled with synovial fluid
- Tendon sheaths are elongated bursae that wrap around tendons
- Types of synovial joints are classified based on shape: plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, and ball-and-socket
- Plane joints allow for gliding movement
- Hinge joints allow for uniaxial movement, such as flexion and extension
- Pivot joints allow for uniaxial rotation
- Condylar joints allow for biaxial movement, such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction
- Saddle joints allow for biaxial movement, such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction
- Ball-and-socket joints allow for multiaxial movement, such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, rotation, and circumduction
