  • How many tissues form a joint
    7
  • Define a joint
    Where 2 bones meet
  • What are the joint tissues
    Bone.
    Liagent
    Synovium
    Hyaline cartillage.
    Fibrocartillage.
    Muscle
    Tendon
  • Bone cells
    Osteoclasts
    Lining cells
    Osteoblasts
    Osteocytes
  • Which cells remove bone
    Osteoclasts
  • Which cells are invovled in calcium homeostasis
    Lining cells
  • Fracture repair
    1. Haematoma
    2. Soft callus made from collagen I
    3. Hard callus [Collagen I is mineralised]
    4. BOne remodelling
  • What is the role of ligaments
    To limit movement by resisting tension. They connect bones together.
  • What are ligaments made of
    Collagen I
  • What is the role of collagen I
    To resist tension
  • What is the role of Collagen II
    Attracts water
  • What is the role of tendons
    Connect bones to muscle enabling the bone to move
  • What are tendons made of
    Collagen I
  • What is Hyaline cartilage made of
    Collagen II, proteoglycan and water
  • What are the roles of hyaline cartilage
    Coat the ends of bones to reduce friction
  • What is fibrocartilage made of
    Collagen I, II, water and proteoglycan
  • What is fibrocartillage's role
    Act as a shock absorber
  • What is bone made of
    Collagen I and hydroxyapatite
  • What is the role of synovium
    To lubricate the joint
  • What is synovium made of
    Cells which secrete synovium fluid
  • What is the epiphysial growth plate
    Allows bones to fuse together and so the number of bones decreases with age.
  • Where does joint tissue develop from
    The mesoderm
  • What is ossification
    the making of bone
  • What are the types of bone ossification
    Intramembranous and endochrondal.
  • Descirbe intramembranous ossification
    Mesenchyme proliferates and condenses to form flat bones.
  • Describe endochondral ossification
    The fetal skeleton is made of hyaline cartilage, which is flexible for childbirth.
    Blood vessels invade the cartilage, causing chondrocytes to die and be replaced by bone cells.
  • What type of bones are the femur, ulna and humerus
    long
  • What type of bones are the carpal bones
    short
  • Where is the scaphoid found
    It is one of the carpal bones in the writst
  • What type of bones are in the skull
    flat
  • What type of bones are in the vertebra
    irregular
  • What type of bones are found in the patella
    sesamoid
  • Where is the patella found
    Knee caps
  • What are the bone types
    long, short, sesamoid, irregular and flat
  • Describe the structure of bones
    The epiphyses sit at either end.
    The diaphysis is the cylindrical shaft.
    The medullary [marrow] cavity consists of bone marrow, which is the site of hematopoiesis.
  • What type of collagen is more abundant in bone
    1
  • Describe the structure of Obl
    Mononuclear.
    Cuboidal in shape.
    Large cytoplasm.
    A large number of organelles.
  • What cells produce osteoid
    Osteoblasts
  • What do osteoblasts do
    Produce osteoid, which is mineralised to replace bone.
  • Which cells produce an epitheloid layer on the bone surface
    Osteoblats
