A an Flashcards
What are the functions of the skeletal system
Support, movement, and protection and gives shape
Microscopic structure of bones
Bones of skeletal system contain BONE and CARTILAGE tissue
Layers of the diaphysis of long bones
PERIOSTEUM-strong fibrous outer membrane.DOES NOT cover the epiphysis. ENDOSTEUM-membrane that lines the medullary cavity. MEDULLARY CAVITY-hollow area inside the diaphysis, contains yellow bone marrow
Structure of flat bones
Flat bones have cancellous bone between compact bone.
What is cancellous bone layer called
Diploe
Where are flat bones located
Skull, sternum and ribs
What are bone cells called
Osteocytes
What are cartilage cells called
Chondrocytes
BONE DEVELOOEMENT. WHAT ARE OSTEOBLAST
Cells that form new bone, when dormant they become osteocytes
BONE DEVELOPEMENT.
Osteoclast
Bone-reabsorbing cell. (Takes away) Breaks down bone tissue. Takes calcium from bone.
Bone is alive;it remodels itself
Bone development and remodeling
Continuous activity by OSTEOBLAST which undergoes a processs to calcify bone (hard as bone) WHEN OSTOBLAST become trapped during this process they stop forming bone and are called OSTEOCYTES. OSTEOCLAST dissolve bone (by releasing acid) to release calcium
Axial skeleton
Skull, spine, chest, and hyoid bone in neck
Appendicular skeleton
Upper extremities, includes shoulder. Lower extremities, includes hips
Bones of the skull: Cranial
Forms front part of cranium floor, upper part of eye socket called frontal sinus lined w/mucous membrane
Bones of the skull
Hyloid bone
In neck above voice box . It’s the only bone that doesn’t mean another bone out of joint. Also anchors the tongue
Atlas
Is c-1 vertebra (neck)
Axis
C-2 vertabrae
Fascia
Connective tissues around the muscle(organ) and joint
Coccyx
In child it’s 3-5 vertebrae. Fuses in adult
Zygomatic bone
Cheek bone
Smooth muscle
Involuntary, non striated (no cross stripes) it is visceral lines inside of hollow structures and organs
Functions of skeletal muscle
Movement, posture, and heat production. Contraction pulls one bone closer to another movement occurs at the joint
