  • Regional approach vs systemic approach

    each region seperately vs. each system seperately
  • axial vs appendicular skeleton

    axial: cranium, vertebrae, ribs, sternum
    appendicular: bot & kraakbeen
  • cartilage in heavy/light areas

    heavy: high collagen
    light stress: high elastic fibers, fewer collagen
  • Vasomotor nerves (bone)

    the nerves regulating blood flow that enter internal cavity
  • Two Ways of Bone Development

    1. Intramembranous ossification: mesenchymal models of bone --> ossification
    2. Endochrondral ossification: cartilaginous models of bone form from mesenchyme & undergo ossification
  • Skeletal maturity & measured by..

    - between 20-25 years
    - measured by: ultrasound, plain radiographs, mri scanning
  • Types of bone marrow

    1. red marrow: myeloid tissue = RBC's, platelets, WBC's
    2. yellow marrow = few WBCs, mainly fat globules
    @birth: mostly red --> converted to yellow within medulla of long/flat bones
  • Two Cell Types in Marrow

    1. hemopoietic sc's: WBCs, RBCs, platelets
    2. mesenchymal sc's: structures for bone, cartilage, muscle
  • Transplant (e.g. leukemia)

    harvesting nonmalignant cells from another person's bone marrow
  • Other parts of Synovial Joints

    1. articular disks (fibrocartilage): absorb compress, adjust to movements and increase range of movement
    2. fat pads: between membrane and capsule, and move as joint contours change during movement
