If ______ is removed, bone is too pliable.

mineral

Wolff's Law

bones reshape themselves based upon the stresses placed upon them

Longitudinal growth occurs at the _______.

epiphyseal plate

________ growth results from an increased cross sectional area and remains metabolically active throughout lifespan.

Circumferential growth

Wolff law factors into _______ growth.

circumferential

______ provide strength but lack flexibility.

Collagen

______ can stretch and provide flexibility to return to their former shape but lack strength.

Elastin

connect muscle to bone

tendons

connect bone to bone

ligaments

The bone is loaded along its long axis pulling the bone in opposite directions.

tension

The bone is loaded along the long axis pushing the bone towards the center.

compression

Forces acting in opposite directions causing tension on the longer side and compression on the smaller side.

bending

Adult bone is weaker in ________ , and usually breaks on that side (longer side).

tension

Forces acting in opposite directions across the long axis of the bone.

shear

Forces cause a rotation force along the long axis of the bone.

torsion

The scientific study of joints concerned with the anatomy, function, dysfunction and treatment of joints.

Arthrology

Fibrous joints are joined by _____.

collagen

Cartilaginous joints are joined by _______.

cartilage

Joints that are not directly joined are called _______.

synovial joints

immovable joints

synarthrodial

slightly movable joints

amphiarthrodial

two bones joined together by a strong ligament or an interosseous membrane that allows minimal movement between the bones

syndesmosis

joint separated by a fibrocartilage pad that allows very slight movement between bones

symphysis

Type of joint separated by hyaline cartilage that allows very slight movement between the bones

synchondrosis

freely movable joints

diarthrodial

Diarthrodial joints are composed of a "sleeve-like" joint capsule which secretes _______ to lubricate the joint cavity.

synovial fluid

Types of diarthrodial joints

- Plane/Gliding
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Condyloid (ellipsoid ball-and-socket)

- Enarthrodial (ball-and-socket)

movement occurs when one bones slides past another.

Plane/Gliding (Arthrodial)

Movement permits a wide range of movement but only in one plane.

Hinge (Ginglymus)

Rotational movement around a long axis

Pivot (Trochoid)

Movement can occur in two planes, but without rotation.

Condyloid (ellipsoid ball-and-socket)

Surfaces fit together like a rider on a saddle.

Saddle (sellar)

Movement can occur in all 3 planes

Types of accessory motion

spin, roll, glide

If _________ is prevented from occurring, then physiological motion cannot occur to any substantial degree other than by joint compression or distraction.

accessory motion
