Skeletal System

AB
What is Arthroscopic surgary?a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopaedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage.
How is total knee replacement performed?Old joint is sawed off. Replacement joint is temporarily put in place. Joint is flexed. Glue is applied. replacement joint is set. Wound is sutured shut.
What are the parts of the skeletal system?Bones, Joints, Cartlige, Ligaments, & Tendons
What are the two divisions of the skeletal system?Axial and Appendicular
Axial SkeletonHead, neck, trunk
Appendicular SkeletonArms and Legs
What are the functions of the bones?Support body, protect organs, store minerals and fats, make blood, allow for major movement
About how many bones does the average human body have?206. Some people have extra ribs in their neck (angel wings) others have a different number of tail bones.
Do women and men have the same number of ribs?Yes
What are the two basic types of bone tissue?Spongy and Compact
What type of bone tissue abosorbs impact?Spongy
What type of bone tissue stablizes the body?Compact
Describe the long bone.Longer than wide. Head at both ends of the shaft. Mostly compact bones. In adults fat and minerals are stored with it.
Describe the short bone.Cube-shaped. Mostly spongy bones. Wrists, ankels, and knees. Make red bone marrow.
Describe the flat bone.Thin and flattened, usually curved. Compact bone surrounds spongy bone. In Skull, ribs, sternum. Make red bone marrow.
Desscribe irregular bones.Irregular shape, Make red bone marrow. Vertebrae, pelvis
The long bone cosists of which two major regions?Diaphysis: shaft of mostly compact bone, Epiphysis: heads, mostly spongy bone
What surrounds the long bone?Periosteum, fibrous connective tissue
Why does the periosteum have sharpey's fibers?To secure the periosteium to the bone
What supplies long bones with nutrients?Arteries
Why is articular cartilage needed?Reduces friction.
What is articular cartilage and where is it located?Dense hyaline cartilage found on the external surface of the epiphyses of long bones.
What is in the middle of the long bone?Medullary cavity.
What is the function of the medullary cavity?Contains yellow marrow in adults, contains red marrow in infants
Bones are not smooth. They contain bone markings, why?Site of attachment for muscles, tendons, and ligaments, passages for nerves and blood vessels.
What are the two types of bone markings?Projections: grow out of the bone surface, Deptressions or cavities: indentations into the bone surface
What is a haversian canal?vertical canal containing blood vessels and nerves
What is a volkman's canal?Canal perpendicular to hte haversian canal that caries blood vesses and nerves across the bone
What is an Osteon?A unit of bone. Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal, the Haversian canal.
What is the lacunae?Cavity containing the bone cell in concentric rings?
What is the lamellae?Rings around the central canal. Where the lacunae are found.
What do canaliculi do? (Please don't pronouce it outloud.)Tiny canals that transport substances to each lacunae.
In embryos the early skeleton is not made out of bone but instead is...Hyaline cartilage
Where is hyaline cartalige?Bridge of the nose, ribs, joints, spinal disks
What are epiphyseal plates also known as?Growth plates?
How do bones grow?New cartilage is formed, old cartilage becomes ossified...turns to bone.
What is a bone cell?Osteocyte?
What cells form bone?Osteoblasts?
What cells destroy bones?Osteoclasts?
What is a closed fracture?Break that does not penetrate the skin.
What is an open fracture?Break that penetrates the skin
Who ofen gets spiral fractures?Abuse victems.
What is a hematoma?Blood-filled swelling in or around bone. (bruise)
What kid of cartiledge first bridges the bone gap?fibrocartilage
Fibrocartilage is replaced by what?Bony callus thicker than the orrigional bone.
Why do you have paranasal sinuses?Lighten the skull, give the voice resenance.
What are the three types of joints?Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial
Which joints are freely mobile?Synovial
Which joints move slightly like the pelvis?Cartilagious
Which joints, like sutures, do not move.Fibrous
What are the sacks of fluid that are in your synovial joints called?Bursae sacks
What your your tendons wrapped in to reduce friction?Tendon sheath
What is bursitis?Inflammation of the bursa sack from a blow or finction
What is Tendonitis?Inflamation of the tendon sheeth
What is Arthritis?Degeneration of the caraledge and eventually bone at the joint
What is osteoarthritis?Most common form of arthritis caused by old age.
What is Rheumatoid arthritis?Automimmune diesase with bilateral infalmation. Leads to deformaties.
