-
what forms the blood supply of the periosteum and epiphysis
the periosteal and epiphyseal arteries
-
where are most of the nerves associated with a bone found
in the periosteum, not within the bone
-
role of osteoblasts/osteoclasts
- osteoblasts are bone-building cells - they synthesise and secrete the organic ECM components of the bon
- osteoclasts break down bone - they release eznymes and acids that digest collagen and minerals that exist in the ECM
-
what are the 2 processes by which bone is formed
intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification
-
describe the process of intramembranous ossification
- bone develops directly from the mesenchyme. mesenchymal models of bone form during the embryonic period and direct ossification occurs in the foetal period.
- First the ossification centre develops, which is where bone will form
- - specific chemicals signals will cause the mesenchymal cells to clump together and differentiate
- - and osteoblasts will begin secreting ECM
- once the ecm is surrounding cells, calcium and other minerals are secreted (calcification)
- - trabeculae will form and fuse around the blood vessels
- - the mesenchyme at the periphery of the forming bone will condense and develop into the periosteum
- - eventually a layer of compact bone will replace the outer layer of spongy bone
-
explain the process of endochondral ossification
- first chemical messengers cause cells in the mesenchyme to condense and differentiate into chondroblasts, which secrete ECM to form a cartilage model of the bone
- in the centre region of the cartilage, it hypertrophies (cells increase in size) and calcifies
- periosteal capillaries grow into the calcified cartilage
- blood supplied by the capillaries initiate the primary ossification centre
- ossification centre grows, replacing hyaline cartilage with bone
- as it grows, osteoclasts come in and break down some of the newly formed bone, leaving the medullary cavity in the diaphysis
- branches of the epiphyseal artery will enter the still-forming bone at the proximal and distal epiphysis, triggering the formation of a secondary ossification centre in the ends of the long bone
- - the growth of the secondary ossification centre will occur pretty much the same as the first, except spongy bone remains in the middle, rather than being broken down to form the medullary cavity
-
what is the epiphyseal plate made of
hyaline cartilage
-
what are the 4 zones of the epiphyseal plate
- zone of resting cartilage (nearest to epiphysis)
- - doesnt function in bone growth and instead anchors the plate to the epiphysis
- zone of proliferating cartilage
- - chondrocytes here proliferate and produce ECM
- - they replace dead cells on the diaphyseal side
- zone of hypertrophic cartilage
- - made up of maturing chondrocytes
- zone of calcified cartilage
- - thin
- - consists of dead chondrocytes (as the ECM is calcified)
- - osteoblasts dissolve the calcified cartilage and capillaries (and more osteoblasts) invade the area (and lay down new ECM, replacing the cartilage)
-
what is appositional bone growth
the increase in the diameter of the bone
-
describe appositional bone growth
- periosteal cells the periphery of the bone differentiate into osteoblasts (secrete ECM minerals etc)
- the osteoblasts surrounded by the ECM will differentiate into osteocytes - mature bone cells
- some of the old bone lining the medullary cavity is destroyed by osteoclasts (so the medullary cavity enlarges as the bone thickens)
-

-
what parts of the spine form the secondary curvatures

-
what are the 3 types of joints
synovial, fibrous and cartilaginous
-
what are the 3 types of fibrous joints and what do they do

- syndesmosis - occurs where 2 adjacent bones are linked by a membrane (such as the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna)
- gomphosis - short collagen fibres running between the root of a tooth and their bony sockets in the jaw - technically a type of syndesmosis
-
what are the 2 types of cartilagenous joints
- synchondroses or primary - bones are united by hyaline cartilage (such as the epiphyseal plate or the first joint between the rib and sternum
- symphyses or secondary - bones that are joined by fibrocartilage (such as intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis)

where is synovial fluid secreted from
the synovial membrane (inner layer of the joint capsule)
-
what is synovial fluid made from
filtered interstial fluid, from blood plasma

what are the main types of synovial joints, what movement do they produce and give an example
- plane joints - produces sliding movements (sternoclavicular, intercarpal and vertebracostal joints)
- hinge joints - produces opening and closing movements (elbow and ankle)
- pivot joints - allows for rotational movements (such as the radioulnar joint that allows us to flip our palms)
- condylar/ellipsoid joint - produces flexion, extension, adduction and abduction (radiocarpal joint that allows us to move our wrist and knuckle)
- saddle joint - same movement plane as conyloid joint (except while a condyloid joint is limited in one plane, saddle joint allows relatively even movement in all of these planes) (incoludes carpometacarpal thumb joint)
