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.
