Cards

Term
State the functions of Bone.
Definition
* 206 - Structural support for entire body
* Individual bones provide framework for attachment of soft tissues & organs
* Protect organs
* Permits movement
* Manufacture of Red Blood Cells
* Stores Calcium
Term
What factors influence bone growth?
Definition
* Age
* Hormones
* Physical
* Dietary Requirements
Term
What types of bone textures exist and differentiate between them?
Definition
[image]
* Cancellous (Spongy Bone) - more porous & contains red bone marrow
* Compact Bone - hard & dense
Term
Classify 4 major groups of bones, according to shape and give an example.
Definition
[image]
1. Flat - Parietal (Skull)
2. Long - Humerous (Arm)
3. Short - Carpel Bones (Wrist)
4. Irregular - Vertebra (Spine)
Term
Components of Long Bones
Definition
[image]
1. Diaphysis - shaft - long & tubular & Contains marrow (fat & yellow bone marrow).

2. Epiphyses - expanded area found at each end of bone.
* Spongy bone in centre. Contains growth plates for bone
* Covered with thin layer of hydraline cartilage.

3. Periosteum (membranes) - superficial layer of compact bone is wrapped by sheath of connective tissue;
(1) isolates bones of surrounding tissue
(2) provide a route for blood / nerves
(3) plays role in bone growth / repair
Term
Components of Short Bones
Definition
[image]
Small & boxy - spongy bone, outside layer consists of thin layer of compact bone.
Term
Explain where bone marrow samples are routinely obtained and state why they are obtained from these sites?
Definition
* Pelvis (Ilieum)& Sternum - easily accessible
* Identify abnormal proteins, inflammation or infection
* Diagnose conditions that affect blood cells or cancer & its extent.
Term
How does bone remodelling occur?
Definition
* Replacement of cartilage with bone
1.Cartilage increases in size
2.Blood vessels grow around edge of cartilage
3.Blood vessels penetrate cartilage & invade central (spongy) region
4. Remodelling occurs as growth continues
5. Capillaries & osteoblast migrate into epiphyses (ossification)
6.Epiphysis fills with spongy bone
7.16 weeks foetus bones are identified
8.Puberty
Term
The axial skeleton consists of which bones?
Definition
* Skull
* Vertebral Column
* Thoracic Cage
Term
What is the Axial Skeleton function?
Definition
[image]
* Forms the longitudinal axis on the body.
* Support the head, neck, trunk
* Protects brain, spinal cord & thoracic organs
Term
Name the bones of the Appendicular skeleton.
Definition
[image]
* Unlike the axial skeleton, the appendicular skeleton is unfused. This allows for a much greater range of motion.
1.Pectorial Girdle (clavicle scapula)*
2.Pelvic Girdle
3.Humerus *
4.Radius *
5.Ulna *
6.Carpel *
7.Metacarpal *
8.Phalanges *
9.Femur
10.Patella
11.Tibia
12.Fibula
13.Tarsal
14.Metatarsal
Term
What are the 3 joint types?
Definition
[image]
1. Fibrous Joints
2. Cartilaginous Joints
3. Synovial Joints
Term
What are the 4 Synovial Joints?
Definition
[image]
1.Hinge
2.Pivot & Rotation
3.Ball & Socket
4.Saddle
Term
List 9 movements of synovial joints

FEDAACRSP
Definition
1.Flexion
2.Extension
3.Dorsification
4.Abduction
5.Adduction
6.Circumduction
7.Rotation
8.Supination
9.Pronation
Term
What makes up approx. 1/2 of the body's mass & why?
Definition
Muscle Tissue - because they are able to transform chemical ATP into mechanical energy, they are capable of exerting force.
Term
Primary function of Muscles?
Definition
1. Produce movement
2. Maintain posture
3. Stabilise joints
4.Generating Heat
Term
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
Definition
1. Skeletal - striped muscle, voluntary movement

2. Cardiac - Plain muscle, involuntary movement

3. Smooth - Striped muscle, involuntary contraction of heart wall. Only located in heart
Term
What are the 4 functional characteristics of muscle tissue?
Definition
1.Excitability
2.Extensibility
3.Contractibility
4.Elasticity
Term
What are the 2 types of Contractions and function?
Definition
ISOTONIC - occur when muscle shortens or lengthens as load increases

ISOMETRIC - Occurs when muscle tension produces neither shortening or lengthening.
Term
Define ABDUCTION
Definition
Moving Away - spread fingers / toes
Term
Define ADDUCTION
Definition
Moving Towards - bring towards
Term
Define DORSIL
Definition
Upward - point toes up
Term
Define PLANTER
Definition
Downward - point toes down
Term
Define LATERAL
Definition
Side to Side - move neck side to side
Term
Bones are made of?
