116) List and discuss the structures of a long bone.
Answer: 1. Diaphysisthe shaft of the long bone: a) it is made of compact bone; b) it is covered by a fibrous connective tissue membrane, the periosteum. The periosteum is securely held to the compact bone beneath by connective tissue fibers called perforating or Sharpey's fibers; c) it contains a hollow cavity called the medullary cavity that stores adipose tissue as yellow marrow, and is the site of hematopoiesis (red blood cell formation) in infants when it contains red marrow. 2. Epiphysessomewhat rounded ends of the long bone: each epiphysis has an outer layer of compact bone covering an inner core of spongy bone. The external surface is covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage, instead of a periosteum, called articular cartilage. This provides for a smooth, gliding joint. 3. Epiphyseal line/platethe junction between the epiphyses and the diaphysis. During growth years is made of hyaline cartilage and is called the epiphyseal plate. It causes the lengthwise growth of the bone. By the end of puberty, long bones stop lengthening when the plate has been replaced by bone. It now appears as a thin bony ridge and is called the epiphyseal line.
115) Explain the five functions of the skeletal system.
Answer: 1. Supportthe skeletal system forms the body's internal structural framework. The bones of the legs act as pillars to support the body trunk when we stand, and the rib cage supports the thoracic wall.2. Movementthe skeletal muscles, attached to bones by tendons, use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts. 3. Protectionbones, such as the skull, thorax, and pelvis, protect the enclosed soft body organs.4. Storagefat is stored in the internal cavities of bones. Bones also serve as a storehouse for minerals, the most important being calcium and phosphorus.5. Hematopoiesisblood cell formation occurs within the red marrow of certain bones.
124) Differentiate among the three types of joints based on structural and functional classification. Provide examples of each type of joint.
Answer: 1. Synarthroses are immovable joints. These joints are structurally classified as fibrous joints since the bones are united by fibrous tissue. Skull sutures are one example of a fibrous joint.2. Amphiarthroses are slightly movable joints. These joints are structurally classified as cartilaginous joints since the bone ends are connected by cartilage. The pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints are two examples.3. Diathroses are freely movable joints. These joints are structurally classified as synovial joints since the articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid. There are many examples of synovial joints, including the elbow, knee, and shoulder.
123) Explain how atlas and axis are different from other vertebrae. Discuss the roles they play in the body.
Answer: 1. Unlike all other vertebra, atlas (C1) has no body. Axis (C2) has a large process called the dens or odontoid process. 2. The structural differences of these two vertebrae allow you to rotate your head from side to side to indicate "no." The joint between these two vertebrae is a pivot joint.
118) Explain how the anatomy of compact bone differs from that of spongy bone.
Answer: Compact bone is composed of osteons. Concentric rings of matrix, called lamellae, are situated around a central (Haversian) canal. The rings and central canal constitute an osteon. Other canals, called canaliculi, spread outward from central canals to connect to lacunae. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are found in air spaces known as lacunae. Spongy bone is open, airy, spiky and is composed of small, needlelike pieces of bone.
119) Explain how bones are remodeled in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Answer: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates bone-destroying cells called osteoclasts to break down the bone's matrix and release the stored calcium into the blood. PTH determines when bone will be broken down in response to the level of calcium ions in the blood.
117) List and explain the steps in the repair process of a simple fracture.
Answer: Step 1 is hematoma formation. A hematoma, or bloodfilled swelling, forms when bone breaks and blood vessels rupture. Bone cells are deprived of nutrition and die.Step 2 is fibrocartilaginous callus formation. The site of damage experiences growth of new capillaries into the clotted blood and disposal of dead tissue by phagocytes. Connective tissue cells of various types form a mass of repair tissue called fibrocartilage callus. This fibrocartilage callus contains several elements: some cartilage matrix, some bony matrix, and collagen fibers. This fibrocartilage callus acts to splint the broken bone, closing the gap. Step 3 is bony callus formation. As more osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate into the area and multiply, fibrocartilage is gradually replaced by a callus of spongy bone (the bony callus).Step 4 is bone remodeling. Over the next few months, bony callus is remodeled in response to the mechanical stresses placed on it, so that it forms a strong, permanent patch at the fracture site.
121) If 6-year-old Sarah fell and broke her femur, damaging the proximal epiphyseal plate, what might she expect as she grows older? What is an epiphyseal plate and why is it significant to this situation?
Answer: The epiphyseal plate is a flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone. Epiphyseal plates cause the lengthwise growth of long bone. Since this child is still growing and has not completed puberty, she may expect impaired growth in that one epiphyseal plate. Lucky for Sarah, there is an epiphyseal plate located at both the distal and proximal ends of the femur. The healthy distal plate can continue to grow.
120) List some of the features of a female pelvis that make it different from a male pelvis.
Answer: The female pelvis: has a larger and more circular inlet. is shallower than the male pelvis. has lighter and thinner bones. has a shorter and less curved sacrum. has a more rounded pubic arch. has shorter ischial spines that are also farther apart.
122) Discuss the organization of the five regions of the spine.
Answer: There are seven cervical vertebrae that form the bones in the neck region. Twelve vertebrae constitute the thoracic region of the vertebral column. These bones correspond to the ribcage. Five vertebrae compose the lower back or lumbar vertebrae. Five fused vertebrae make up the sacral region while four vertebrae form the coccyx (tailbone).
