A&P Exam 2 Flashcards
Spinal vertebra, pelvic bones
Irregular bones
Patella small & flat found in tendons, knees, hands, feet
Sesamoid
Back of head small irregular bones in flat bones skull
Sutural
Intrasutural bones or suturas bones extra bone pieces that occur within a suture joint in the skull mostly in lamboid suture
Wormian
Storage of minerals calcium & lipids, fats. Yellow replaces red eventually
Yellow bone marrow
Blood cell production
Red bone marrow
What is bone weight
15%
bone matrix is made up of minerals
Calcium phosphate to forms crystals of hydroxyapatite which incorporate other calcium salts & ion
Protein fibers (collagen)
Matrix proteins
Forms outer layers of bone except parts of inclosed joints. Covered with membranes
Compact bones
Inside layer of bone. Does not have osteons, matrix forms an open network of trabeculae no blood vessels
Spongy bones
INSIDE layer of bone. No osteons.The space between trabeculae is filled w/ red bone marrow which have blood vessels form red blood cells and nutrients to osteocytes. In some bones, spongy bones hold yellow bone marrow yellow stores fat
The trabeculae of spongy bone and how they are organized
Compact bone thickens & strengthens long bone with layers of circumferential lamellae
Appositional growth
Is the first area of a bone to start ossifying. It usually appears during prenatal development in the central part of each developing bone. Most bones have more than one.
Primary ossification center
In long bone, the secondary center appears in the epiphyses *bone formation
Secondary ossification center
Bone collar formation Cavitation Periosteal bud invasion Diaphysis elongation Epiphyseal ossification
5 stages of endochondral ossification
1 - an ossification center appears in the fibrous connective tissue membrane
2 - clusters of osteoblast form osteoid that become mineralized
3 - woven bone & periosteum form
4 - bone collar of compact bone forms and red marrow appears
4 steps of intramembranous ossification
This is an inherited disorder that affects connective tissue. Affects heart, eyes, blood vessels, and bones. Tall, thin, long arms, legs, fingers, and toes
Marfan’s syndrome
What bones form zygomatic arch
Formed by the zygomatic process of the temporal bone
Attaches the frontal bone to the parietal bones of either side. Like a crown
Coronal suture
On each side of the skull forms the boundary between the temporal bone & the parietal bone of that side
Squamous suture
Extends from the lamboid suture to the coronal suture between the parietal bones vertical line on skull
Sagittal suture
Arches across the posterior surface of the skull. Separates the occipital bone from the two parietal bones
Lambdoid suture
What is in the lacrimal fossa
The superior and lateral surface of the orbit is a shallow depression in the frontal bone that marks the location of the lacrimal (tear gland)
Forms attachments with muscles & ligaments to stabilize the articulation of the occipital condyles with the atlas. Balancing the mass of the head over the cervical vertebrae has four curved lines on the external surface of the occipital bone
*balancing & posture of head
Function of Nuchal lines
Forms part of the nasal septum, along with the vomer & a piece of hyaline cartilage. It’s a flat portion that extends from the horizontal plate to he orbital process
Functions of perpendicular plate
Near the base of the mastoid process, is attached to ligaments that support the hyoid bone and to the tendons of several muscles. *anchor point for several muscles, tongue, and larynx
Function of styloid process
A group of four paired air filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity. The maxillary sinuses located under the eye. Frontal sinuses above the eye. The ethmoidal sinuses between the eyes. The sphenoidal sinuses behind the eye.
Paranasal sinuses (4)
Largest fiberous areas between the cranial bones anterior fontanales (soft spot) Located between the infants cranial bones made of cartilage that grow together as the brain grows and bind together into joints called sutures.
Location and function of fontanelles
Form during fetal development. The vertebral column surrounds the spinal cord which travels within the spinal cord formed from a central hole within each vertebra. There vertebral column also known as the backbone or spine. It houses the spinal canal within is a cavity that encloses & protects the spinal cord
Primary curve
Forms cervical and lumber after birth. (A result of lifting the head)
Secondary curve
Bones possibly injured in CPR
Cracked sternum and or broken ribs & Xiphoid process
Also called shoulder girdle Connects the arms to the body Positions the shoulders Provides a basement for arm movement Two clavicles ; two scapulae Connects with the axial skeleton only @ manubrium
The pectoral girdle
Made up of two hip bones (coxal bones)
Strong to bead body weight, stress of movement
Part of the pelvis
There fused bones : ilium, Ischium, and pubis
The pelvic girdle
scaphoid - near styloid process
Lunate - medial to scaphoid
Triquetrum -medial to lunate
Pisiform anterior to triquetrum
The four proximal carpal bones
Trapezium - lateral
Trapezoid - medial to trapezium
Capitate - largest
Garante - medial , distal
The four distal bones
Extremely strong joints are located where movement b/w the bones must b prevented
Ex. Suture, gomphosis, synchondrosis, synotosis
Immovable joints (synarthrosis)
Binds the teeth to bony sockets in the maxillae & mandible
Gomphosis
Permits more movement, much stronger. Connected to collagen fibers or cartilage
Ex. Syndesmosis - bones connected by ligament
Symphysis - separated by a wedge or pad of fibra…. ex pubic symphysis.
Slightly movable (amphiarthrosis)
