    Study Notes

    Bone Repair Process

    • Fibrocartilaginous Callus: Occurs after a fracture, where fibrocartilage fills gaps between broken bones for approximately three weeks.
    • Bony Callus: Fibrocartilage is gradually replaced by bony tissue, lasting 3 to 4 months.
    • Remodeling: Old bone tissue is replaced with new tissue, strengthening the repair.

    Bone Markings

    • Projections: Include terms such as head, process, condyle, spine, and crest.
    • Head: Rounded, knoblike end of a bone, distinct from the shaft by a neck.
    • Process: Large projection (e.g., upper part of the ulna).
    • Condyle: Rounded projection, may include an epicondyle above it.
    • Spine: Sharp projection from a bone surface (e.g., scapula).
    • Crest: Distinct ridge, often rough, located on bones like the hip.

    Depressions and Holes

    • Foramen: Hole allowing vessels or nerves to pass, plural is foramina.
    • Sinus: Air space present in certain skull bones.
    • Fossa: Depression on a bone surface, plural is fossae.
    • Meatus: Channel or passageway, e.g., temporal bone leading to the inner ear.

    Joint Disorders

    • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease primarily affecting weight-bearing joints; leads to cartilage loss and new bone growth at joint edges.
    • Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammatory disorder causing joint swelling and damage; results in adhesions and loss of function.
    • Septic Arthritis: Joint tissue infection from bacteria via bloodstream, potentially causing chronic bone destruction.
    • Gouty Arthritis: Caused by uric acid crystallization in joints, leading to inflammation and pain.

    Classification of the Skeleton

    • Axial Skeleton: Comprises the skull (cranial and facial bones), vertebral column, and sternum.
    • Appendicular Skeleton: Includes shoulder girdle (clavicle and scapula), upper extremities (arms), and pelvic bones.

    Axial Skeleton

    • Skull Composition:
      • Cranium includes frontal, parietal, temporal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and occipital bones.
      • Facial bones consist of mandible, maxilla, zygomatic, nasal, lacrimal, vomer, palatine, and inferior nasal conchae.
    • Vertebral Column: Contains cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5), and coccygeal (4) regions.
    • Rib Categories: True ribs (first 7 pairs), false ribs (remaining 5 pairs, including floating ribs).

    Appendicular Skeleton

    • Upper Division: Comprises the shoulder girdle (clavicle and scapula) and upper extremities (humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges).
    • Lower Division: Contains pelvic bones (os coxae: ilium, ischium, pubis); female pelvis is lighter, wider, and more rounded.

    Types of Fractures

    • Closed Fracture: Simple break without external wound.
    • Open Fracture: Bone breaks through the skin.
    • Greenstick Fracture: One side of the bone breaks; the other side bends.
    • Impacted Fracture: Broken bone ends are jammed into each other.
    • Comminuted Fracture: Multiple fracture lines result in splintered or crushed bone.
    • Spiral Fracture: Twisting of the bone results in a helical fracture pattern.
    • Transverse Fracture: Break goes straight across the bone.
    • Oblique Fracture: Break occurs at an angle to the bone.

    Aging and the Skeletal System

    • Calcium Loss: Aging results in decreased calcium salts and protein matrices in bone tissue.
    • Height Loss: Average height loss is approximately 1.2 cm (0.5 inches) every 20 years starting at age 40, attributed mainly to intervertebral disk thinning.

    Joints Classification

    • Fibrous Joints: Immovable (synarthrosis); bones connected by fibrous tissue.
    • Cartilaginous Joints: Slightly movable (amphiarthrosis); connected by fibrocartilage or ligaments.
    • Synovial Joints: Freely movable (diarthrosis); includes various types such as gliding, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket.

    Synovial Joint Structure

    • Joint Cavity: Contains synovial fluid for lubrication.
    • Ligaments: Provide stability and hold bones together.
    • Articular Cartilage: Covers bone ends, reducing friction.
    • Bursae: Fluid-filled sacs that cushion and protect joints.

    Synovial Joint Movements

    • Flexion: Decreases the angle between joint parts.
    • Extension: Increases the angle between joint parts.
    • Hyperextension: Excessive extension beyond anatomical position.
