Bone Health
Bone Health
Maintaining healthy bones relies on sufficient calcium and vitamin D, along with hormone regulation (calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin), influencing calcium absorption and homeostasis for optimal bone health.
Joint Types
Joint Types
Joints are classified as synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (limited movement), or diarthrosis (freely movable), with each type supporting different movements and functions in the body.
Diarthrosis Joints
Diarthrosis Joints
Freely movable joints, subdivided into ball-and-socket, hinge, saddle, pivot, and gliding, each with unique movement capabilities in the body.

Study Notes
Musculoskeletal Function
- The body has 206 bones.
- Bones provide structure, support, and mobility.
- They facilitate blood return to the heart.
- They store minerals.
- Bone cells include osteoblasts (formation), osteocytes (maintenance), and osteoclasts (destruction and remodeling).
- Bone formation (ossification, osteogenesis) begins before birth.
- Stress, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and blood supply regulate bone formation and maintenance.
- Bone healing stages: Hematoma, fibrocartilaginous callus, bony callus, and remodeling.
- Estrogen enhances bone formation, while testosterone supports bone growth and muscle mass.
- Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are essential for bone modeling in youth. Low levels can lead to osteopenia with aging.
Joints
- Joints are articulations where two or more bones connect.
- Synarthrosis joints are immovable.
- Amphiarthrosis joints allow limited movement.
- Diarthrosis joints permit free movement.
- Joint types include ball and socket, hinge, saddle, pivot, and gliding.
- Other joint structures include joint capsules, ligaments, tendons, and bursae.
- Fractures heal in stages: hematoma formation, inflammation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and remodeling.
Muscles
- Muscle contraction is initiated by electrical stimulation.
- Myosin and actin filaments slide, causing contractions.
- Isotonic contractions involve muscle shortening without changing tension.
- Isometric contractions involve maintaining muscle length while increasing tension.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy source for muscle contraction.
- In intense exercise, glucose is converted to lactic acid, which can lead to muscle fatigue.
- Myoglobin helps transport oxygen in muscle cells.
- Muscles with more myoglobin (red muscles) contract slowly and strongly, while those with less (white muscles) contract quickly.
- Muscle tone is a slight contraction that maintains posture.
Common Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Pain, tenderness, and altered sensations are common symptoms.
- Pain can be described as dull, sharp, sore, and related to bone, muscle, or joint issues.
- Rest typically alleviates musculoskeletal pain; activity-related pain may indicate underlying issues.
- Nursing assessments evaluate pain, body alignment, joint symmetry, inflammation, and external pressures.
- Conditions like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and fracture risk can be assessed using the FRAX tool.
- Common spinal abnormalities include kyphosis (hunchback) and lordosis (swayback).
- Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curve in the spine.
Diagnostic Tests
- Radiographs, CT scans, MRI, arthrography, bone densitometry, bone scans, arthroscopy, arthrocentesis, EMG, biopsy, and laboratory studies are used for diagnosis.
- These tests aid in identifying bone structure/tissue changes, tumors, injuries, fractures, and bone mineral density.
Nursing Interventions
- Nursing interventions encompass patient education and management of pain or discomfort.
- Pain management involves medication, splinting, elevating affected areas to reduce swelling, and assistive devices.
- Interventions for specific conditions may involve specialized care.
- Treatment will vary depending on the condition, and the specific intervention will be targeted to the condition.
Fracture Risk
- The fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) predicts the 10-year risk of fractures.
- The risk of fractures is primarily affected by factors like age, sex, prior fractures, family history, body weight, smoking, and alcohol consumption and other specific health issues and diseases
