Ref:125-127 4) Explain how the epiphyseal plate remains a constant width until puberty is completed.

Answer: Chrondrocytes proximal to the medullary cavity of the long bone are relatively inactive and eventually are deprived of nutrients by calcification of the surrounding matrix. These dead chrondrocytes are replaced by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Meanwhile, the chrondrocytes closer to the epiphyses rapidly undergo mitosis and are actively secreting additional cartilage matrix. These cells proliferate at about the same rate as others die. In this way, the plate maintains its thickness until the rate of proliferation slows as puberty is completed. Diff: 2 Page

Answer: FALSE Diff: 3 Page

Answer: First, hematoma formation stops the flow of blood at the point of the break. Fibrocartilage callus formation is facilitated by the cells of the periosteum and endosteum, leading to a soft callus. Bony callus formation follows, by endochondral ossification, and the trabeculae span the break in the bone. Bone remodeling occurs over a number of months and includes removal of excess bony material and the appropriate addition of compact bone. Diff: 2 Page

Ref:141-143 3) Describe the three types of cartilage and their defining characteristics.

Answer: Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant. Unstained, it appears "glassy" under the microscope; collagen fibers are not visible using light microscopy but are present in the matrix, providing strength and flexibility. Elastic cartilage contains many more dark-staining elastic fibers in the matrix (which are visible with light microscopy), They allow this cartilage to readily deform and recoil. Fibrocartilage contains thicker collagen fibers, oriented between rows of chondrocytes, and is resistant to both compression and tension forces. Diff: 2 Page

Ref:137 6.4 Essay Questions 1) Discuss the changes that occur during osteoporosis and their causes.

Answer: In osteoporosis there is loss of bone mass and loss of trabeculae, and the compact bone becomes thinner and less dense. Fractures then become common.

Additional contributing factors include insufficient weight-bearing exercise and a diet insufficient in calcium, vitamin D and protein. Diff: 2 Page

Answer: Ostealgia Diff: 2 Page

Ref:237 9.4 Essay Questions 1) Describe the joint-associated problems that can occur as normal changes to the articular cartilage as an individual ages.

Answer: Osteoarthritis to some degree, will typically affect most individuals as they grow older. Damage done to joints when an individual is young can cause problems as a person ages. Metalloproteinase enzymes released during joint damage may break down the matrix of the articular cartilage. As time goes by, recurring microdamage diminishes the thickness of the articular cartilage and ultimately results in chronic inflammation and diminished mobility at the joint(s). Regular exercise and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can minimize inflammation, alleviating some of the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Diff: 2 Page

Answer: Sutures are located between many of the bones of the skull, with fibers of the joint continuous with the periosteum of the adjacent bones. Syndesmoses are connected by long fibrous ligaments, such as those found at the distal tibiofibular articulation. Considerable motion is possible at these types of joints, even though there is no synovial capsule. Gomphoses are found between the roots of the teeth and the tooth sockets of the mandible and maxilla. The teeth are held in place with numerous, short periodontal ligaments. Diff: 2 Page

Answer: The ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary bones contain the sinuses. Mucous membranes line these cavities. They function in lightening the weight of the skull. They are called paranasal sinuses because they are in close proximity to the nasal cavity. Diff: 2 Page

Ref:197 2) Describe some of the anatomical characteristics of the female pelvis that are adaptations for childbearing.

Answer: The female pelvis is typically wider, shallower, and lighter to provide more room in the true pelvis, through which the infant must pass during childbirth. The pubic arch is broader as well, reflecting the wider pelvis. The pelvis itself is tilted forward and has a larger enclosed cavity. Diff: 2 Page

Ref:194 8.4 Essay Questions 1) What are the anatomical differences between male and female athletes that result in a greater incidence of knee problems for women?

Answer: The femur courses medially along its length toward the knee; because of the wider pelvis in women, this angle is even more pronounced. This results in a greater angle between the femur and the tibia, which is nearly vertical in position and leads to greater instability at the joint. Diff: 2 Page

Ref:165 3) Describe how the longitudinal ligaments, ligamentum flavum, and intervertebral discs control the flexibility of the vertebral column.

Answer: The intervertebral discs are located between adjacent vertebrae, giving the vertebral column the ability to stretch and compress. The annulus fibrosus places limits on these motions. The anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments prevent hyperextension and hyperflexion, respectively. The ligamentum flavum assists in recoil after anterior flexion of the vertebral column.

Ref:209-210 3) Compare the structure and function of the two major joint surfaces of the wrist.

Answer: The radiocarpal joint is a condyloid joint between the radius and the scaphoid and lunate. This joint allows for movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction. The intercarpal joints between adjacent carpals are planar joints, which allow for gliding movements. Diff: 3 Page

Answer: The radius has an ulnar notch at its distal end that articulates with the head of the ulna. The proximal end of the ulna has a radial notch that articulates with the head of the radius. The head of the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus. The trochlear notch of the ulna articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. Diff: 3 Page

Ref:194 5) Describe two anatomical characteristics of the glenohumeral joint that contribute to the high degree of mobility at the shoulder.

This allows the scapula to move freely over the thorax. Additionally, the humerus articulates with the essentially flat glenoid cavity, allowing for free rotation of the arm. Diff: 1 Page
