    Study Notes

    Anatomy of Human Movement in Performance

    Bone Composition and Types

    • Bones are hard, strong tissues that can remodel and adapt through the activity of bone cells.
    • Composed of minerals like calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate along with collagen.

    Difference Between Spongy and Compact Bone

    • Spongy Bone:
      • Also known as cancellous or trabecular bone.
      • Located within long bones, surrounded by compact bone.
      • Characterized by a porous structure that reduces weight while maintaining strength.
    • Compact Bone:
      • Often termed cortical bone.
      • Forms the outer layer, providing strength and resilience.

    Bone Cells

    • Osteoclasts: Responsible for bone resorption and breakdown.
    • Osteoblasts: Responsible for bone formation and growth.

    Functions of the Bone

    • Protects vital organs (e.g., skull protects the brain).
    • Acts as levers to facilitate movement.
    • Stores fat and minerals, contributing to mineral homeostasis.
    • Serves as a source for new blood cell production.
    • Provides support and structural framework for soft tissues and ligaments.

    Bone Classifications

    • Regional Classification:
      • Axial: Comprises skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage; forms the body's central axis.
      • Appendicular: Comprises the pectoral girdle, limbs, and bones of the hands and feet.

    Long Bones

    • Define as tubular structures that are longer than they are wide, primarily found in limbs.

    Major Parts of Long Bones

    • Diaphysis: Long tubular shaft part of the bone.
    • Epiphysis: Ends of the long bone.
    • Marrow Cavity: Central cavity containing bone marrow.
    • Periosteum: Connective tissue sheath covering the compact bone.
    • Hyaline Cartilage: Covers articular surfaces, aiding in smooth joint movement.
    • Epiphyseal Plate: Located at both ends of growing long bones, critical for bone growth.
    • Epiphyseal Line: Forms as a replacement for the growth plate around age 20.
    • Metaphysis: Region of the diaphysis next to the epiphyseal line.

    Types of Bones

    • Short Bones:
      • Cube-shaped with equal length and width, commonly found in hands and feet.
    • Flat Bones:
      • Thin, flattened structures typically curved, providing protection and support (e.g., skull, pelvis, scapula, sternum, ribs).
    • Irregular Bones:
      • Do not fit into other categories; lack a regular shape (e.g., vertebrae).
    • Sesamoid Bones:
      • Embedded within tendons, vary in size and shape among individuals.

    Fracture Types

    • Displaced Fracture:
      • Broken bone segments are out of alignment.
    • Non-Displaced Fracture:
      • Bone remains in proper alignment, often classified as a closed fracture.
