3 Skeletal System - Sheet1 (1) Flashcards
skeletal cartilage
chondrocytes (cartilage cells)
collagen fiber size…
amino acids 1nm - tropocollagen 300nm - fibrils 1um - fibers 10 um
cartilage types
hyaline & elastic
hyaline cartilage
1.articula: think of joints ends 2.ribs 3.respiratory: larynx 4.nose
elastic cartilage
1.epiglottis 2.ear
types of bone on location
1.axial: skull, vertebral, rib cage 2.appendicular: upper & lower limbs, shoulder, hip
bone classification base on shape
long, short, flat, irregular
long bone
longer than wide - limbs
short bone
wider than long - wrist, ankle
flat bone
thin flattened, usually curvy - skull, ribs
irregular bone
no specific shape - vertebrae, hip
compact bone (gross bone anat.)
outer layer
spongy bone (gross bone anat.)
inner layer (trabeculae, yellow bone marrow, red bone marrow)
difference between red and yellow marrow
red: blood cell production Yellow: fat tissue
importance of red bone marrow
red bone marrow = production of red blood cells
