Frage 1
Frage
What is an articulation?
Frage 2
Frage
Soft tissue in joints has no organic component.
Frage 3
Frage
Choose the FALSE statement about cartilage.
Antworten
-
Cartilage is soft tissue.
-
Hyaline cartilage is the same as articular cartilage.
-
Fibrocartilage is what the epiphyseal plate is made from.
-
Fibrocartilage has a different histological structure from hyaline cartilage.
Frage 4
Frage
Choose the correct statements about cartilage histology.
Antworten
-
The chondrocytes live in lacunae.
-
Cartilage is composed mainly of collagen fibres.
-
Cartilage is white due to fatty acids.
-
Cartilage acquires nutrients via diffusion as it is not vascular.
Frage 5
Frage
Diffusion of nutrients into cartilage is achieved via 'loading', regular joint movement/activity
Frage 6
Frage
Hyaline cartilage is [blank_start]amorphous[blank_end], with [blank_start]little[blank_end] collagen content, and a [blank_start]high[blank_end] water content, that resists [blank_start]compression.[blank_end]
Fibrocartilage has [blank_start]many[blank_end] bundles of collagen, and resists [blank_start]tension.[blank_end] The orientation of these fibres are aligned in the direction of stress and so it also resists [blank_start]compression[blank_end], making it specialised.
Antworten
-
amorphous
-
little
-
high
-
compression.
-
many
-
sparse
-
tension.
-
compression
-
tension
Frage 7
Frage
Lack of bony congruence is made up for by hyaline cartilage moulding to the articulations of synovial joints.
Frage 8
Frage
Hyaline cartilage remodels.
Frage 9
Frage
The more bony congruence there is, the more soft tissue support is needed.
Frage 10
Frage
The menisci are convexly shaped and diffuse forces through the bones of the knee.
Frage 11
Frage
Choose the incorrect statement.
Antworten
-
Intervertebral discs are made of fibrocartilage.
-
The nucleus pulposus is a gel like structure which resists compression, and is distributed over the top of the intervertebral disc.
-
"Slipping a disk" is a tear in the fibrocartilage of the intervertebral disc where the nucleus pulposus has been removed from the proper position.
Frage 12
Frage
Choose the correct statements about ligaments and tendons.
Antworten
-
They are composed of DFCT.
-
They have low collagen content.
-
They are slightly vascularised.
-
They are maintained by fibroblasts.
-
Ligaments join muscle to bone at an insertion, facilitating movement.
-
Tendons join bone to bone, restricting unwanted movement.
Frage 13
Frage
A lateral ligament will restrict adduction.
Frage 14
Frage
When a tendon is pulled out it usually takes a section of bone with it.
