Locomotor - Bone Science Intro to MSK 2021(1).pdf Modes of failure Manufacturing errors - disorders of formation and growth, which obviously primary affects patients of paediatric age Constant random failures - primarily related to trauma, but also to other things like infection, cancer and other acute diseases. Wearout failures - parts begin to wear out and systems fail, and this is expressed clinically by diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis etc. Roles of the skeleton 2021(1).pdf Bone cells 2021 (with notes)(1).pdf Bone structure 2021 (with notes)(1).pdf Diaphysis acts as lever, allowing muscles to move the joint with increased power. Thick cortices to allow bending force Metaphysis and epiphysis have a reduced bending force so have thinner cortices & spongy trabecular bone to support the articular surface, resist impact and transfer weight evenly through the bone Locomotor - Bone Science 1 Calcium homeostasis 2021 (with notes)(1).pdf Bone remodelling (with notes)(1).pdf Locomotor - Bone Science 2
