5.5   Essay Questions

 

1) Explain the five functions of the skeletal system.

Answer:

1. Support—the skeletal system forms the body’s internal structural framework. The bones of the legs act as pillars to support the body trunk when we stand, and the rib cage supports the thoracic wall.
2. Movement—the skeletal muscles, attached to bones by tendons, use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts.
3. Protection—bones, such as the skull, thorax, and pelvis, protect the enclosed soft body organs.
4. Storage—fat is stored in the internal cavities of bones. Bones also serve as a storehouse for minerals, the most important being calcium and phosphorus.
5. Hematopoiesis—blood cell formation occurs within the red marrow of certain bones.

Bloom’s:  2) Comprehension

 

2) Differentiate between the functions of yellow marrow and red marrow.

Answer:  Yellow or red marrow may be found in the medullary (marrow) cavity of a long bone, depending on the age of the individual. Yellow marrow is adipose tissue that stores energy. Red marrow functions in blood cell production, a process known as hematopoiesis.

3) List and explain the steps in the repair process of a simple fracture.

Answer:

Step 1 is hematoma formation. A hematoma, or blood-filled swelling, forms when bone breaks and blood vessels rupture. Bone cells are deprived of nutrition and die.

Step 2 is fibrocartilage callus formation. The site of damage experiences growth of new capillaries into the clotted blood and disposal of dead tissue by phagocytes. Connective tissue cells of various types form a mass of repair tissue called fibrocartilage callus. This fibrocartilage callus contains several elements: some cartilage matrix, some bony matrix, and collagen fibers. This fibrocartilage callus acts to splint the broken bone, closing the gap.

Step 3 is bony callus formation. As more osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate into the area and multiply, fibrocartilage is gradually replaced by a callus of spongy bone (the bony callus).

Step 4 is bone remodeling. Over the next few months, bony callus is remodeled in response to the mechanical stresses placed on it, so that it forms a strong, permanent patch at the fracture site.

4) Explain how the anatomy of compact bone differs from that of spongy bone.

Answer:  Compact bone is composed of osteons (Haversian systems). Concentric rings of matrix, called lamellae, are situated around a central (Haversian) canal. The rings and central canal constitute an osteon, or Haversian system. Other canals, called canaliculi, spread outward from central canals to connect to lacunae which house osteocytes.

Spongy bone is open, airy, spiky and is composed of small, needlelike pieces of bone. Spongy bone lacks osteons and a network of canals.

5) Explain how bones are remodeled in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH).

Answer:  Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates bone-destroying cells called osteoclasts to break down the bone’s matrix and release the stored calcium into the blood. PTH determines when bone will be broken down in response to the level of calcium ions in the blood.

6) List some of the features of a female pelvis that make it different from a male pelvis.

Answer:  The female pelvis:

1. has a larger and more circular inlet.
2. is shallower than the male pelvis.
3. has lighter and thinner bones.
4. has a shorter and less curved sacrum.
5. has a more rounded pubic arch.
6. has shorter ischial spines that are also farther apart.

7) If 6-year-old Sarah fell and broke her femur, damaging the proximal epiphyseal plate, what might she expect as she grows older? What is an epiphyseal plate and why is it significant to this situation?

Answer:  The epiphyseal plate is a flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone. Epiphyseal plates cause the lengthwise growth of long bone. Since this child is still growing and has not completed puberty, she may expect impaired growth in that one epiphyseal plate. Lucky for Sarah, there is an epiphyseal plate located at both the distal and proximal ends of the femur. The healthy distal plate can continue to grow.

8) Maria observes a patient in her clinic with a spinal curvature abnormality. She notices the patient’s spine curves laterally from the midline. Determine the abnormality she observed and explain how she differentiated it from the other two types of spinal abnormalities.

Answer:  Maria observed a patient with scoliosis in which the spinal strays laterally from the midline. Lordosis, or sway back, results in lumbar curvature exaggerated in the ventral (anterior) direction. Kyphosis produces a humped back due to a thoracic curvature exaggerated in the dorsal (posterior) direction.

9) Explain how atlas and axis are different from other vertebrae. Discuss the roles they play in the body.

Answer:

1. Unlike all other vertebra, atlas (C1) has no body. Axis (C2) has a large process called the dens.
2. The structural differences of these two vertebrae allow you to rotate your head from side to side to indicate “no.” The joint between these two vertebrae is a pivot joint.

10) Differentiate among the three types of joints based on structural and functional classification. Provide examples of each type of joint.

Answer:

1. Synarthroses are immovable joints. These joints are structurally classified as fibrous joints since the bones are united by fibrous tissue. Skull sutures are one example of a fibrous joint.
2. Amphiarthroses are slightly movable joints. These joints are structurally classified as cartilaginous joints since the bone ends are connected by cartilage. The pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints are two examples.
3. Diathroses are freely movable joints. These joints are structurally classified as synovial joints since the articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid. There are many examples of synovial joints, including the elbow, knee, and shoulder.
