(est. during Intra.Oss.).

•
Support

• Diaphysis
What is the Epiphyseal Line?
• Remnant of Epiphyseal Plate

What is the Periosteum?
• Outermost fibrous membrane
• Surrounds compact bone
What is the Endosteum?

• Surrounds spongy bone
What causes bone injury?
• Increased weight
• Unusual twisting
• Unusual Rotation
What is a greenstick fracture?
• Partial break of the bone
• Common in kids
What is a depressed fracture?
• Bone is sunken in
• Typical in skull
What is a compressed fracture?
• Bone is crushed into a million little pieces
• Common in porous bones
What is a spiral fracture?
• Ragged break
• Break on the diagonal
• Caused by unusual twisting
What is a comminuted fracture?
• Bone breaks into 3 or more pieces
What is an epiphyseal fracture?
•
•
•
•
•
Break @ Epiphyseal Plate
Common in kids
Common in areas where cartilage is FRESH
OR
Common in areas where cartilage is breaking
down
What are the events in bone
repair? (In Order)
•
•
•
•
Hematoma Formation
Fibrocartilaginous Callus Formation
Bony Callus Formation
Final Repair
What would happen if your bones
skipped Fibrocartilagionous Callus
Formation during bone repair?
• Blood and Dead Bone Cells would remain
at the fracture site.
• Bone would not begin repair.
• Collagen fibers would not be secreted to
connect bone fragments.
What are the regions of the
vertebral column?
[Superior]
• Cervical
• Thoracic
• Lumbar
• Sacral
[Inferior]
What is the purpose of a joint?
• Allow for circular movement
• Allow for angular movement
• Increase mobility / Decrease rigidity
Where can you find a Condyloid
Joint?
• Wrist
• Knuckles
Where can you find a Plane
Joint?
• Intercarpal
• Intertarsal
• Vertebrae
Where can you find a Saddle
Joint?
• Thumbs
• Metacarpals
Where can you find a Ball &
Socket Joint?
• Shoulders
• Hips
What is skeletal muscle?
• On top of bones
• Voluntary movement
• Overall Body mobility
What is cardiac muscle?
• Heart muscle
• Involuntary movement
• Heartbeat & Blood pumping
What is smooth muscle?
• Digestive, Excretive, Respiratory Organs
• Involuntary movement
• Squeezing
What is the function of the
muscular system?
• Overall body movement
• Maintain bipedal posture
• Generate heat during contraction
What are the structures within
skeletal muscle?
[Microscopic]
• Myofilament (Actin & Myosin)
• Sarcomere
• Myofibril (Organelle)
• Muscle Fiber (cell)
• Fascicle (bundles w/in whole muscle)
• Muscle
[Macroscopic]
What is a sarcomere?
• The contractile unit/portion within the
myofibril
What are the 2 myofilaments?
• Actin
• Myosin
What are “other words” for actin
and myosin?
• Thick Filament = Actin
• Thin Filament = Myosin
What is a myofibril?
• The unique muscle cell organelle which
contains contractile elements.
What must occur PRIOR to the
opening of the Na/K channels
(during a muscle contraction)?
• Binding of ACh (acetylcholine) to the
muscle at the neuromuscular junction.
What must occur for a muscle to
relax / set up for the next
contraction?
• Calcium must be returned to the
sarcoplasmic reticulum.
• Troponin-Tropomyosin must recover actin
• Myosin must release actin
• ATP reloads onto myosin
What “slides” during a muscle
contraction?
• Actin & Myosin
• The Myofilaments

What occurs during a muscle
contraction (list out the events)?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Depolarization of sarcolemma
Generation of action potential across muscle
Release of Ca ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum
Binding of Ca to troponin-tropomyosin-actin structure
Conformation change of troponin-tropomyosin structure
Actin exposed
Attachment of myosin head to actin
Myosin uses energy in ATP
Actin & Myosin Slide towards center of sarcomere
Ca ions back to sarcoplasmic reticulum
Tropomyosion recovers actin, relaxation
