8-A Flashcards
The human skeletal system is composed of
bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
Skeleton makes up of how many percent of mass
20% mass
Skeleton 2 parts
Axial
Appendicular
What is the axial part
consists of bones arranged
along the longitudinal axis.
The parts of the axial skeleton
are the skull, auditory ossicles
(ear bones), hyoid bone,
vertebral column, sternum,
and ribs.
What is the appendicular skeleton?
consists of the bones of the
girdles and the upper and lower
limbs (extremities). The parts of
the appendicular skeleton are
the pectoral (shoulder) girdles,
bones of the upper limbs, pelvic
(hip) girdles, and bones of the
lower limbs.
is the bone’s shaft or body—the long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone.
Diaphysis
the proximal and distal ends of the bone
Epiphysis
the regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses
Metaphysis
a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone.
Articular cartilage
a hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow and numerous blood vessels in adults.
Medullary cavity
the part of the
epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone.
Articular cartilage
a tough connective tissue sheath and its associated blood supply that
surrounds the bone surface wherever it is not covered by articular cartilage.
Periosteum
Structure of the bone
Epiphysis
Metaphysis
Diaphysis
Medullary Cavity
Periosteum
Articular Cartilage
The extracellular matrix is about ___% water, __% collagen fibers, and ___% crystallized mineral salts.
15% Water
30% Collagen Fibers
55% Crystallized mineral salts
Four types of cell present in the bone tissue
Osteocytes
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteoprogenitor cells
Unspecialized bone stem cells
derived from mesenchyme, the
tissue from which almost all
connective tissues are formed.
Osteoprogenitor cells
bone-building cells
synthesize and secrete collagen fibers
and other organic components
needed to build the extracellular
matrix of bone tissue
Osteoblasts
mature bone cells are the
main cells in bone tissue and
maintain its daily
metabolism.
Osteocytes
are huge cells derived from the fusion of
as many as 50 monocytes and are
concentrated in the endosteum
bone-destroying cells
Osteoclasts
Two types of bone tissue
Compact bone tissue
Soft bone tissue
the strongest form of bone tissue
Compact bone tissue
lies over spongy bone tissue in the epiphyses and makes up most of the bone tissue of the
diaphysis
Compact bone tissue
does not contain osteons
Soft bone tissue
What is Osteon
Formation of mature bone cells
What is the mature bone cell
Osteocytes
provides protection and support and resists the stresses produced by weight and movement
Compact bone tissue
composed of repeating structural units called osteons
Compact bone tissue
consists of lamellae that are arranged in an irregular pattern of thin columns called
trabeculae
Soft bone tissue
forms most of the structure of short, flat, and irregular bones, and the interior of the
epiphyses in long bones
Soft bone tissue
have greater length than width, consist of a shaft and a variable number
of extremities or epiphyses, and are slightly curved for strength
Long Bones
are small bones located in sutures (joints) between certain cranial bones
Short bones
Long bones is composed of?
consist mostly of compact bone tissue in their diaphysis but considerable amounts of spongy bone tissue in their epiphyses.
short bones is composed of?
they consist of spongy bone tissue except at the surface, which has a
thin layer of compact bone tissue
generally thin and composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bone
tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue.
Flat Bone
Types of bone
Long bone
Short bone
Flat bone
Sesamoid bone
Irregular bones
Sutural bones
Its main function is for posture, stability, balance, and protects internal organs
Axial bone
Its main function is for locomotion, digital manipulation and etc.
Appendicular bone
Axial bone is composed of?
80 bones
Appendicular bone is composed of?
126 bones
