16
Q

Functions of the skeletal system

A

Support, protection, reservoir for calcium, blood cell formation and it’s basis for muscle attachment

17
Q

Types of Bones

A

Long, short, flat, Irregular and sutural bones

18
Q

Bone Tissue composition

A

Calcified extracelular components, Inorganic salts and Organic matrix which is made of ground substance.

19
Q

Compact and cancellous bones microstructures differences

A

Compact bones are made of Osteons, Cancellous bones have no osteons and are made of trabeculae.

20
Q

Which part of the bone the blood cells are made

A

Bone marrow provides blood supply to the bone.

21
Q

Types of bone cells

A

Osteoblasts (Bone forming cells), Osteoclasts (Destroy bone matrix) and Osteocytes (Mature bone cells)

22
Q

What is the Myeloid tissue

A

Tissue in the Bone marrow that is a site for production of blood cells

23
Q

Two types of marrow

A

Red Marrow (produces blood cells), Yellow Marrow (marrow that became saturated with fat, doesn’t procuce blood cells anymore).

24
Q

How the Skeleton helps to regulate calcium cells and why is it so important

A

Skeletal serves as a reservoir that contains 98 % of calcium of the body, It’s importante because calcium is essential to transmission of nerve impulses, maintenance of skeletal and the cardiac muscle contraction

25
Q

Division of the Skeleton types

A

Axial Skeleton (Bones in head, neck and torso), Appendicular skeleton (bones that makes the appendages to the axial skeleton)

26
Q

Main parts of the Axial skeleton

A

Skull, Vertebrae Column, Ribs, Sternum

27
Q

Bones of the Vertebrae Column and types

A

Vertebrae (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar) Sacrum and Coccyx

28
Q

What is the sternum and its parts

A

Bone in the middle of the chest made of manubrium, body and Xiphoid process

29
Q

Ribs, How much of each type

A

7 true ribs, 3 false ribs and 2 floating ribs

30
Q

Bones of the upper extremity of the appendicular skeleton

A

Shoulder girdle, scapula, clavicle, Humerus, Ulna, Radius, Carpal Bones, Metacarpal bones and Phalanges

31
Q

Bones of the lower extremity of the appendicular skeleton

A

Sacrum, Ilium, ischium, pubis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, Tarsus, talus, cuneiform, cuboid and navicular

32
Q

Classification of joints

A

fibrous, cartilaginous or sinovial

33
Q

What is a fibrous joint and its 3 types

A

It holds bones together by fibrous connective tissue. Syndesmoses, Sutures and Gomphoses.

34
Q

What is a Cartilaginous joint

A

Is when bones are held together by cartilage.
