Study Notes
- The Skeletal System: complex structure composed of bones, joints, cartilages, ligaments, and tendons.
- Bones: living tissues that support the body, protect organs, serve as levers, store minerals and fats, and form blood cells.
- Types of Bones: compact bone (dense and hard) and spongy bone (cancellous, with many open spaces).
- Classification of Bones: long bones (typically longer than wide, found in legs and arms), short bones (cube-shaped, found in wrist, ankles, and toes), flat bones (thin and flattened, found in skull, ribs, sternum), and irregular bones (vertebra).
- Functions of Bones: support, protection, leverage, mineral and fat storage, and blood cell formation.
- Bone as a Living Tissue: covered by the periosteum, consists of compact and cancellous bone, and is maintained by specialized bone cells called osteocytes.
- Bone Health: bones are susceptible to conditions such as aseptic necrosis (bone death due to poor blood supply) and osteoporosis (porous bones in older women).
- Bone Structure: anisotropic with different moduli depending on the direction of loading, weakest in shear, then tension, then compression, and viscoelastic, meaning its force-deformation characteristics are dependent upon the rate of loading.
- Joint Lubrication: aided by the synovial fluid, which is trapped in the rough articular cartilage and squeezed into the joint during stress, and whose viscosity decreases with large shear stress, making it a better lubricant.
- Bone Mineral Measurement: can be measured in vivo (in the body) or in vitro (outside the body), with methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) that can accurately measure bone mineral density.
