Study Notes
Bone Structure and Function
- Bone is composed of water, organic material (primarily collagen), and inorganic material (hydroxyapatite crystals).
- Collagen provides tensile strength and flexibility.
- Hydroxyapatite crystals provide rigidity and hardness.
- Bone cells include osteocytes (mature bone cells that maintain structure and respond to mechanical forces), osteoblasts (bone-forming cells involved in synthesis and mineralization), and osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells involved in remodeling).
Long Bone Structure and Function
- Long bones have rounded ends (epiphyses) composed of spongy bone (lighter, supportive) and contain red marrow for blood cell production.
- The diaphysis (shaft) is a hollow tube of compact bone.
- The diaphysis contains haversian canals for blood vessels and nerves.
- The epiphyseal plate is a critical growth region in children that ossifies into the epiphyseal line with maturity.
- Metaphysis is the area where the epiphysis and diaphysis meet.
Bone Classification
- Bones are classified into different types, including long bones (e.g., femur), short bones (e.g., carpals), flat bones (e.g., sternum), and irregular bones (e.g., vertebrae).
Spinal Vertebrae
- Crucial parts of the spinal vertebrae include the vertebral foramen, lamina, pedicle, superior articular process, transverse process, transverse foramen, body, and the spinous process.
Skull Bones
- Important skull bones include the frontal, parietal, occipital, sphenoid, and temporal bones.
- These cranial bones contribute to forming the roof of the skull structure. (Frontal, 2 parietals, and occipital bones)
- Key sutures connecting the bones include coronal, sagittal, and lambdoid sutures.
Pelvic Bones
- These structures include ilium, ischium, and pubis, which are responsible for forming the pelvis.
- These bones articulate with the sacrum and coccyx to form the bony pelvis.
Pelvic Floor Muscles
- Important pelvic floor muscles include coccygeus, iliococcygeus, pubococcygeus, puborectalis, and levator ani.
- These muscles help support the pelvic organs and maintain continence.
Back Muscles
- Intrinsic back muscles are categorized into superficial, intermediate, and deep layers based on location.
- Superficial muscles include splenius cervicis and splenius capitis;
- Intermediate includes iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis;
- Deep muscles include semispinalis, multifidus, and rotatores;
- Deepest layer muscles include interspinalis, intertransversii, and levatores costarum.
Additional Notes
- The pterion is a vulnerable area on the skull where several cranial bones meet.
- The maxilla forms the upper jaw.
- The masseter and temporalis muscles are crucial for mastication (chewing).
- Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine have different facet orientations.
- The vertebral artery runs through the transverse foramina.
- The intervertebral discs, which are vital for cushioning, are composed of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus.
