Question | Answer |
---|---|
bone shapes | Long short irregular flat sesmoid |
bone structure | compact spongy |
bone location | axial appendicular heterotopic |
Long bones | found only in limbs, act as levers |
short bones | somewhat equidimensional (cuboidal). found only in limbs. used for complex movement |
flat bones | sig reduced in one dimension |
pneumatic bones | excavated to contain air-filled space (sinuses). |
irregular bones | characterized by jutting processes |
sesmoid bone | seed shaped. found inbedded in tendon to protect tendon |
axial bones | bones of skulls, vert column, ribs, sternum |
Appendicular bones | bones of limbs |
Heterotopic (splanchnic) bones | bones in normal but unusual location. ex os penis of dog, os cordis of ox, os rostrale of pig |
compact bone | dense or cortical bone |
spongy bone aka | traecular or cancellous bone. |
where is spongy bone located in long bones | extremities |
where is spongy bone located in short and irregular bones | internal substance |
where is spongy bone located in flat bones | interposed b/w the 2 compact layers |
Bone marrow | found within the medullary cavity of long bones and within the inersticles of spongy bone |
Red marrow | hematopoietic marrow. blood producing |
yellow marrow | fatty marrow |
primary center of ossification | diaphysis, before birth |
secondary center of ossification | epiphysis, after birth |
Bone blood supply | nutrient artery that passes through the nutrient foramen |
clinical sig of nutrient foramen | 1. may resemble an oblique fracture on radiographs 2. signs of panosteitis are first detected. |
Joint classification | 1. fibrous joints 2. cartilaginous joints 3. synovial joints |
fibrous joints | hardly move. skeletal components united by fibrous connective tissue. |
fibrous joints subtypes | 1. sutures 2.gomphoses 3.syndesmoses |
sutures | joints b/w the flat bones of the skull. remnants of the embryonic membrane. |
why are sutures important in young animals | 1. allow deformation of skull during parturition 2.allow growth of skull |
gomphoses | dental implantations. between roots of teeth and alveoli. formed by peridontal ligament |
syndesmosis | all other fibrous joints. ex: fibrous connection b/w metacarpal and metatarsal bones |
cartilaginous joints | permit only limited movement such as compression or stretching. |
cartilage joints subtypes | 1. hyaline cartilage 2. fibrocartilaginous |
hyaline cartilage joints | Synchondroses. most are temporary and ossify with age. |
ex of hyaline cartilage joint that ossify with age | physes of growing long bones. |
ex of hyaline cartilage joint that do not ossify with age | costochondral junctions |
Fibrocartilaginous joints | symphyses. may ossify with age. |
Fibrocartilaginous joints examples | pelvic symphysis, mandibular symphysis, intervertevral discs |
synovial joints | freely movable. components are not directly joined to one another at contact surfaces. separated by synovial fluid. |
Features of synovial joints | 1. Joint cavity 2. joint capsule 3. articular cartilage |
Layers of joint capsule | Fibrous layer (outer) Synovial membrane (inner) |
ligament | a band or cord of connective tissue uniting bone to bone |
Tendon | a band or cord of connective tissue uniting bone to muscle |
Ligament general function | stabilize and unite skeletal components |
what are the two main categories of ligaments | 1. extracapsular 2. intracapsular |
extracapsular | outside the confines of the fibrous layer of the joint capsule |
intracapsular | within the confines of the fibrous layer of the joint capsule |
collateral ligaments | extracapsular. found at most appendicular synovial joints. |
collateral ligament function | located medially and laterally. prevent abduction/adduction, while allowing flexion and extension. |
Menisci/ articular discs | fibrocartilaginous structures located b/w articular surfaces. |
Menisci/ articular discs function | provide stabilization, help distribute synovial fluid, and/or improve shock absorption |
where are the menisci found | at the jenual joints |
where are the articular discs found | in the temporomandibular joints |
thoracic limb flexor surfaces of all synovial joints | located caudally (or palmarly) except for cubital joint that is cranial |
humeral joint | capable of movent in any direction. primary focus on flexion/ extension/ |
How is the humeral joint stabilized | lacks collateral ligaments so stabilized by adjacent muscles |
cubital joint | composite joint formed by humeral condyle, head of radius, trochlear notch of ulna. very stable! |
how is the cubital joint stabilized | collateral ligaments |
pelvic limb flexor surfaces of all synovial joints | located caudally (plantarly) except the coxal joint that is cranial and tarsal joints that are dorsal |
coxal joint | great range of movement b/c ball and socket construction. lacks collateral ligaments |
How is the coxal joint stabilized | with the ligaments of the femoral head and the transverse acetabular ligament |
ligament of femoral head | intracapsular. anchors femoral head to acetabulum |
transverse acetabular ligament | bridges notch interrupting medial wall of acetaulum. does not attach to femur |
genual joint articulation points | 1.femoropatellar articulation 2. tibiofibular articulation 3. femorotibial articulation |
Features of the femorotibial articulation of the genual joint | 2 menisci and 10 ligaments ( 4 that unite the femur and tibia/fibula, 6 that anchor the menisci) |
5 basic radiographic opacities (radiolucent to radiopaque) | gas, fat, soft tissue/fluid, mineral/bone, metal |
smooth muscle | involuntary. found in walls of hollow organs and blood vessels, spleen, eye, hair follicles, glands |
fleshy muscle attach | more or less direct attachment to the periosteum |
aponeurosis muscle attach | sheet like attachment |
synovial bursae | a bag of synovial fluid that protects a tendon as it passes over a point of friction. |
tendon sheath | protect tendons where a greater portion of the circumference is vulnerale. |
what are the layers of a tendon sheath | 1. visceral layer 2. mesotendon 3. parietal layer |
Fascia | connective tissue that binds the organs of the body together |
superficial fascia | loose CT connecting the dermis of the skin to deeper structures. where you give subQ fluids |
what does superficial fascia contain | cutaneous muscle, glands, fat, vessels, etc |
deep fascia | stronger and denser layer that more closely invests muscles or groups of muscles. |
Subserous fascia | glue that supports serous membranes lining body cavities |
What are the regional thickenings of deep fascia that bind tendons in place at certain joints called? | Retinacula and annular ligaments |
