7.1 Flashcards
What are the functions of bones
-Supports and protects organs, cranial cavity, and thoracic cavity
yellow bone marrow
stores lipids
How are bones classified
shape
-Long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones
Long Bones
- greater in length than width
-distribute stress on bone from weight by being slightly curved
-located in legs, arms, toes, forearm, and fingers
Short Bones
-have lengths and widths that are roughly equal
-usually cube- like
-located in wrist and ankle
Flat Bones
-plate- like structures, thin
-usually areas for muscle attachment
-located in cranium, sternum, ribs, and shoulder blade
Irregular Bones
-variety of shapes
-usually are connected to other bones
-located in vertebrae, and facial bones
what do bones and limbs help support
weight
bone remodeling
breaking down and remodeling of bones
formation of blood cells=
red, white, and platelets
-called hemoglobin
what does yellow done marrow store
lipids
sesamoid bones
-small bones that are embedded with tendons next to joints
-located at patella, 4 in your hand, and 2 in foot
diaphysis
shaft or long main portion of bone
-lies between the epiphyses
epiphysis
distal and proximal ends of bone
-forms joints with other bones
-covered in hyaline cartilage
what does articular cartilage cover
covers the epiphyses
articular cartilage
-where bone forms an articulation or joint
-reduces friction and absorbs shock
periosteum
-membrane around the surface of the bone that is NOT covered by articular cartilage
-vascular, fibrous tissue
-helps in forming bone tissues ans repair
medullary cavity
-rigid tube with a hollow chamber
-space within the diaphysis filled with marrow
-it is red and yellow
which cavity is filled with bone marrow
medullary cavity
endosteum
-thin membrane surrounding medullary cavity
-contains bone-forming cells
-muscle contractions and action potentials
(Mneumonic device)
Diaphysis
Epiphysis
Articular cartilage
Periosteum
Medullary cavity
endosteum
(you can change if you have better)
-D get it shaft yuh long hehe lies between e brake bc we no like men
-E looks like locked arms with someone joints
-Pe like pediatriction repairs bone and tissue doctor
-M marrow
-End of our bone forming process
How are bones classified
According to their SHAPE
Why are long bones slightly curved
to distribute stress on bone from weight
what 2 types of bone tissue is bone made of
compact and spongy bone
