Study Notes
Here are the study notes for the text:
Bone Tissue
- Osseous tissue is composed of:
- 1/3 organic matter (synthesized by osteoblasts)
- 2/3 inorganic matter (85% hydroxyapatite, 10% calcium carbonate, and other minerals)
- Functions:
- Supports body weight
- Provides a framework for muscles to attach
- Protects internal organs
Bone Structure
- Compact bone:
- Dense, compact tissue
- Found in shafts of long bones
- Composed of concentric lamellae (bone layers) surrounding a central canal (Haversian canal)
- Spongy bone:
- Light, porous tissue
- Found in ends of long bones and interior of flat bones
- Composed of trabeculae (thin plates of bone) and endosteum (tissue lining the bone cavity)
Bone Development and Remodeling
- Ossification (bone formation):
- Intramembranous ossification (formation of flat bones)
- Endochondral ossification (formation of long bones)
- Bone remodeling:
- Process of bone resorption and deposition
- Involves osteoclasts (break down bone) and osteoblasts (deposit bone)
Calcium and Phosphate Regulation
- Calcium:
- Essential for muscle contraction, nerve function, and bone health
- Regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol (active form of vitamin D)
- Phosphate:
- Important for energy metabolism and bone health
- Regulated by PTH, calcitriol, and other hormones
Bone Disorders
- Osteoporosis:
- Loss of bone density, leading to brittle bones
- Affects spongy bone more than compact bone
- Risk factors: age, sex, hormone deficiency, and lack of exercise
- Rickets:
- Deficiency of vitamin D and calcium in children
- Leads to soft, deformable bones
- Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease):
- Genetic disorder affecting collagen production
- Leads to weak, brittle bones
Skeletal System Functions
- Supports the body
- Allows for movement
- Protects internal organs
- Produces blood cells (in bone marrow)
- Stores minerals (such as calcium and phosphate)
Axial Skeleton
- Forms the central supporting axis of the body
- Composed of:
- Skull (22 bones)
- Vertebral column (33 bones)
- Ribcage (28 bones)
- Sternum (3 bones)
Appendicular Skeleton
- Composed of:
- Upper limb (64 bones)
- Pelvis (4 bones)
- Lower limb (64 bones)
Joints
- Classified into three types:
- Fibrous joints (e.g., skull sutures)
- Cartilaginous joints (e.g., pubic symphysis)
- Synovial joints (e.g., shoulder, elbow, knee)
- Functions:
- Allow for movement
- Support the body
- Protect internal organs
Synovial Joints
- Characterized by:
- Articular cartilage (covers the ends of bones)
- Joint cavity (space between bones)
- Synovial fluid (lubricates the joint)
- Joint capsule (connective tissue surrounding the joint)
- Types of synovial joints:
- Ball-and-socket joints (e.g., shoulder, hip)
- Condylar joints (e.g., knee, elbow)
- Saddle joints (e.g., thumb, sternoclavicular joint)
- Plane joints (e.g., wrist, ankle)
- Hinge joints (e.g., elbow, knee)
- Pivot joints (e.g., atlantoaxial joint, radioulnar joint)
Let me know if you need anything else!### Joint Movements
- Hyperextension: extension of a joint beyond the zero position
- Abduction: movement of a body part in the frontal plane away from the midline of the body
- Hyperabduction: raising arm over back or front of head
- Adduction: movement in the frontal plane back toward the midline
- Hyperadduction: crossing fingers, crossing ankles
- Elevation: movement that raises a body part vertically in the frontal plane
- Depression: movement that lowers a body part in the same plane
- Protraction: anterior movement of a body part in the transverse (horizontal) plane
- Retraction: posterior movement
- Circumduction: one end of an appendage remains stationary while the other end makes a circular motion
- Rotation: movement in which a bone spins on its longitudinal axis
- Medial (internal) rotation: turns the bone inward
- Lateral (external) rotation: turns the bone outward
- Supination: forearm movement that turns palm to face anteriorly or upward
- Pronation: forearm movement that turns palm to face either posteriorly or downward
Joint Types and Characteristics
- Temporomandibular (jaw) joint (TMJ):
- Articulation of the condyle of the mandible with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone
- Combines elements of condylar, hinge, and plane joints
- Synovial cavity divided into superior and inferior chambers by an articular disc
- Glenohumeral (humeroscapular) joint:
- Most freely mobile joint in the body
- Shallow glenoid cavity and loose shoulder joint capsule sacrifice stability for freedom of movement
- Glenoid labrum: fibrocartilage ring that deepens glenoid cavity
- Elbow joint:
- Humeroulnar joint: trochlea of the humerus joins trochlear notch of the ulna
- Humeroradial joint: capitulum of humerus meets head of radius
- Both articulations enclosed in one joint capsule
- Coxal (hip) joint:
- Head of femur inserts into acetabulum of hip bone
- Bears weight, has deeper sockets, more stable than shoulder
- Acetabular labrum: horseshoe-shaped ring of fibrocartilage that deepens socket
- Tibiofemoral (knee) joint:
- Largest and most complex diarthrosis of the body
- Primarily a hinge joint
- Joint capsule encloses only the lateral and posterior aspects of the knee
- Talocrural (ankle) joint:
- Includes two articulations: medial joint between tibia and talus, lateral joint between fibula and talus
- Both articulations enclosed by one joint capsule
Joint Disorders and Injuries
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome:
- May affect as many as 75 million Americans
- Signs and symptoms: clicking sounds in the jaw, imitation of jaw movement, pain radiating from jaw down the neck, shoulders, and back
- Cause: combination of psychological tension and malocclusion (misalignment of teeth)
- Treatment: psychological management, physical therapy, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, corrective dental appliances to align teeth properly
- Glenohumeral joint dislocation:
- Downward displacement of the humerus is the most common shoulder dislocation
- Rotator cuff protects the joint in all directions but inferiorly
- Joint protected from above by coracoid process, acromion, and clavicle
- Tibiofemoral joint injuries:
- Most common injuries are to the menisci and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
- Arthroscopy: procedure in which interior of joint is viewed with a pencil-thin arthroscope inserted through a small incision
- Arthroscopic ACL repair: about 9 months for healing to be complete
Arthritis and Related Conditions
- Arthritis:
- Broad term for pain and inflammation of joints
- Most common crippling disease in the United States
- Rheumatologists: physicians who treat arthritis and other joint disorders
- Osteoarthritis (OA):
- Most common form of arthritis
- "Wear-and-tear arthritis"
- Results from years of joint wear
- Articular cartilage softens and degenerates
- Accompanied by crackling sounds called crepitus
- Bone spurs develop on exposed bone tissue causing pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA):
- Autoimmune attack against the joint tissues
- Misguided antibodies (rheumatoid factor) attack synovial membrane, enzymes in synovial fluid degrade the articular cartilage, joint begins to ossify
- Ankylosis: solidly fused, immobilized joint
- Remissions occur, steroids and aspirin control inflammation
Bone Development
- Epiphyseal plate:
- Cartilage transitions to bone
- Functions as growth zone where bone elongates
- Has typical hyaline cartilage in the middle with transition zones on each side where cartilage is replaced by bone
- Metaphysis is zone of transition facing the marrow cavity
- This is interstitial growth — growth from within
- Bone elongation is a result of cartilage growth within the epiphyseal plate
- Epiphyses close when cartilage is gone — epiphyseal line of spongy bone marks site of former epiphyseal plate
- Lengthwise growth is finished
- Occurs at different ages in different bones
