Support function of skeletal system
Framework which support skeletal muscle attachment
Functions of Bone and Skeletal System
- Support
- Protection
- Movement
- Mineral homeostasis
- Blood cell reproduction
- Triglyceride storage
Protection function of skeletal system
Protects internal soft tissue
Ex: skull -> brain
Movement function of skeletal system
Skeletal muscles contract (work, shorten). Puts tension on tendon that is attached to skeleton to move skeletal framework
Mineral homeostasis function of skeletal system
Store and release minerals; specifically calcium and phosphate
Blood cell reproduction function of skeletal system
In certain areas of long bones there is red bone marrow
Hemopoiesis
Process to make Red blood cell. Gives rise to all blood cells within long bones
Triglyceride storage function of skeletal system
Yellow bone marrow within medullary cavity in long bones
Diaphysis
Middle section of long bone
Epiphysis
Proximal and distal end of long bones
Spongy bone internally
RBM fills area in spongy bone
Metaphysis
Between diaphysis and epiphysis in long bones
Made of spongy bone
Contains epiphyseal plate and eventually epiphyseal line
Growth plate
When plate is present one can grow in height
Eventually will ossify from hyaline cartilage to bone tissue
Periosteum
Goes around entire bone except articulation area
Contains outer fibrous layer and inner osteogenic layer
Outer fibrous layer
Part of periosteum
This is where tendons and ligaments will attach
Inner osteogenic layer
Part of periosteum
Bone cells arise and growth in width
Medullary cavity
Hallow space within diaphysis
Contains yellow bone marrow in adults
This cavity will lower weight of bone
Endosteum
Lines medullary cavity
Growth in width
Calcification
The process in which minerals will be deposited and crystallized on collagen fibers and bone tissue hardness and strengthens
Osteoprogenitor cells
Originate from mesenchyme and can undergo cell division
Osteoblasts
Forms organic portion of ECM
Differentiates
Osteocytes
Maintain bone tissue
Where are osteoprogenic cells are located
- Inner osteogenic layers of periosteum
- Endosteum that lines medullary cavity
- Lining canals where blood vessels are present
- In spongy bone within RBM
Osteoclasts
Different from other 3
Causes bone resorption
Derived from WBC
Multi-nucleated
When do osteoclasts remodel bone
- Normal development
- Growth
- Maintenance
- Repair
