Structure of diaphyses?

Outer periosteum




Inner endosteum containing bone marrow

What is the PERIOSTEUM?

Vascular membrane covering bone except joint cavities

Structure of PERIOSTEUM

Outer layer - tough fibrous protection

Embro and foetus.

What happens in ENDOCHONDRAL ossification?



What age?

Bone forms within hyaline cartilage.



Up to age of 25.

What are the two names for bone formation?

OSSIFICATION and OSTEOGENESIS

When does OSSIFICATION occur? (3)

Growth


Bone remodelling


Repair

What happens to the EPIPHYSEAL plate in early 20s?




What does this mean?

It ossifies so that only a thing epiphyseal line remains.




Bones cant grow anymore in length.

How does bone growth occur after early 20s?

Appositional growth = increase in diameter.

How does appositional growth occur?




Why?

Osteoblasts form compact bone in periosteum




While osteoclasts break down bone in medullary cavity.




Increase in diameter with little increase in weight

How does growth occur in ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION?

Around the epiphyseal plate




Bone cells are produced by mitosis




Then ossified by osteoblasts.

Why do blood calcium levels need to be tightly controlled? (3)

Blood clotting


Proper nerve function


Proper muscle function

How do bones get stronger through increased mechanical stress? (2)

Increased mineral deposition and production of collagen fibres.

Three functions of INTERVERTEBRAL DISKS?

Shock absorbing




Separating




Bind vertebral bodies

What does the pelvic girdle comprise of?

Hip bones


Sacrum

How many joins in human body?

187

Example of a saddle joint?

Thumb

Example of an ellipsoid joint?

Wrist

What is the bursae made of?

Connective tissue filled with fluid.

Job of bursa

Cushion movement

4 positions of bursa

skin & bone




muscle & bone




tendon & bone




lligament & bone

Three types of fracture?

Simple




Greenstick




Compound

What happens in a sprain?

Joint forced past normal range stretching or tearing a LIGAMENT.

How does menopause effect osteoporosis?

Low oestrogen causing excessive bone resorption

What is the calcium blood serum level in HYPERCALCAEMIA?

<2.5mmol

4 causes of HYPERCALCAEMIA

Tumour




Hyperparathyroidism




Immobility




Excessive calcium/ vitamin D intake

3 synptoms of HYPERCALCAEMIA?

Muscle weakness



Lethargy



Anorexia



Irregular heartbeat



Polyuria

What is OSTEOMYELITIS?



Where is it most common?

Infection of bone marrow.




1st and 2nd lumbar vertebrae

Cause of OSTEOMYELITIS?

Immune suppression.

4 symptoms of OSTEOMYELITIS

Tenderness on percussion




Generalised back ache




Severe night pain




Muscular guarding



What is the risk of a benign pressure and why?

Cause pressure and deep pain




Risk of fracture

What usually causes malignant bone tumours?

Secondary from other organ.

3 steps of a slipped disc.

1. Fibrocartilage in intervertebral discs worn away




2. Sudden stress on disc can then cause herniation (pulposus bulges out)




3. Herniation puts pressure on nerves causing pain

What is bursitis?

Inflammation of the bursae

Three causes of bursitis?

Sudden shocl




Infection



Wear and tear

Arrangment of DNA from DNA to Chromosome (3).

1. DNA coiled around histone




2. Organised into string like fibres called chromatin




3. Condenses even further before division into chromosomes

What are ribosomes MADE of?

RNA protein

What do lysosomes contain?

Lytic ENZYME

The equation for 'meiosis'

2 divisions + crossing over of homologonous pairs = recombination of genes

Whats a zygote?

Diploid cell with one chromosome from mother and one from father.

4 ways a mutation could occur?

Inversion


Deletion


Insertion
Substitution




of NUCLEOBASES

What happens in the Transcription phase of protein synthesis? (2)

A copy of one gene from the DNA is made into mRNA

This travels out of nucleus

What happens in translation phase of protein synthesis

Ribosome reads code and builds required protein.

Whats a cell junction? (2)

Contact or communication points between the plasma membranes of tightly packed cell.s

Whats a tight junction? How do they form and why?

Reinforced junctions.




Strands of protein fuse to outer surface of the cell to stop substances passing between them.

Example of tight junction and why?

Stomach, intestine or bladder lining.




Stops contents leaking out into blood or surround tissue. (e.g. leaky gut)

What glycoprotein surrounds elastic fibres?

Fibrilin

Relationship between muscles and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM? (3)

- Protect




-Promote flow




- Exercise can increase immune response

Relationship between muscles and RESPIRATORY SYSTEM? (3)

Respiratory muscles facilitate airflow in and out of the lungs.




Smooth muscle adjusts airway size.




Smooth muscle in larynx changes voice




Coughing and sneezing clears airways




Improves efficient breathing

Relationship between muscles and DIGESTIVE SYSTEM? (3)

Skeletal muscle protects and supports organs
