    Study Notes

    Bone Repair

    • Bone repair involves four key stages: hematoma formation, callus formation, callus ossification, and bone remodeling.

    Bone and Calcium Homeostasis

    • Calcium levels in the body are regulated by three hormones:
      • Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) from parathyroid glands
      • Vitamin D from skin or diet
      • Calcitonin from the thyroid gland

    General Considerations in Bone Anatomy

    • Foramen: Hole in a bone that allows nerves or blood vessels to pass through.
    • Canal/Meatus: Elongated hole forming a tunnel in the bone.
    • Fossa: Depression or hollow area in the bone.
    • Tubercle/Tuberosity/Trochanter: Protrusions or lumps on a bone.
    • Process: Projecting feature from a bone.
    • Condyle: Smooth, rounded end of a bone forming a joint with another bone.
    • Epicondyle: Rounded protuberance for attachment of ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

    Vertebral Differences

    • Lumbar Vertebrae: Characterized by large, thick bodies suited for weight-bearing; prone to ruptured disks.
    • Sacrum: Composed of five fused vertebrae; forms the median sacral crest from the first four vertebrae.

    Rib Cage

    • Protects vital thoracic organs and maintains thoracic structure during respiration.
    • Comprised of thoracic vertebrae, ribs with cartilage, and the sternum.
    • True Ribs: Ribs 1-7 attach directly to the sternum.
    • False Ribs: Ribs 8-12; ribs 8-10 share a cartilage connection to the sternum, while ribs 11-12 are floating ribs.

    Sternum Structure

    • The sternum is divided into three parts: manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
    • The sternal angle is an important anatomical landmark for rib counting and heart apex location.

    Appendicular Skeleton

    • Made up of upper and lower limb bones, and girdles that attach these limbs to the axial skeleton.
    • The Pectoral Girdle: Consists of two scapulae and two clavicles connecting upper limbs to the body.
    • The Pelvic Girdle: Attaches lower limbs to the body.

    Upper Limb Structure

    • Arm: Contains the humerus, with epicondyles for forearm muscle attachment.
    • Forearm: Comprises the ulna (medial) and radius (lateral).
    • Wrist: Consists of eight carpal bones arranged in two rows.

    Lower Limb Structure

    • Leg: Contains two bones, tibia (weight-bearing) and fibula.
    • Ankle: Formed by seven tarsal bones, including the talus (ankle) and calcaneus (heel).

    Joints

    • A joint is where two bones meet; movements can be limited or absent in some joints.

    Types of Bone Fractures

    • Open Fracture: Bone protrudes through the skin.
    • Closed Fracture: Bone does not break through skin.
    • Complete Fracture: Total separation of bone fragments.
    • Incomplete Fracture: Bone remains partially intact.
    • Greenstick Fracture: Incomplete fracture on the convex side.
    • Comminuted Fracture: Bone breaks into multiple fragments.
