body systems Flashcards
into what can the skeletal system be divided
axial and appendicular.
What is the axial skeleton
skull, vertebral collumn ribs and sternum
what is the appendicular skeleton
upper and lower limbs
What is cartilage (+what matrix)
avascular
connective tissue consisitng of extracellular fibers embedded in a matrix that contains cells localized in small cavities..
what are the two kind of extracellualr fibers found in the matrix of cartilage?
collagen
and elastic
what are the three functions of cartilage?
support soft tissue
provide a smooth surface for bone articulations at joins.
enable the development and growth of long bones
what are three types of cartilage and what fibers??
hylaline- most common, moderate amouint of collagen.
elastic- matrix contains collagen and large number of elastic fibers.
fibrocartilage- matrix contains limited amount of cells and ground substance, but a lot of collagen.
out of what type of cartilage is intervertebral disc made of?
fibrocartilage
what is the smoothest type of cartilage
hyaline.
does cartilage have nerves blood vessels and lympahtics?
no
how it cartilage nourished?
diffusion
what is bone?
a calcified, living connective tissue
what matrix does a bone have
intercellualr calcified matrix, containing collagen fibers and certain types of cells withhin the matrix
what kind of cartilage does meniscus consist of
fibrocartilage (toughest)
function of bones?
Supportive structures protectors of vital organs reservoirs for calcium and fosfor. levers on which muscles act containers for blood producing cells
What are two types of bones?
spongy and compact
what is other name for spongy and compact bones?
trabecular or cancellous/(poreus)
what is does the compact bone do?
dense bone that surround the outer shell of all bones and surrounds spongy bone
what is spongy bone
spicules of bone enclosing cavities containing marrow (blood forming cells)
shape and 2 example of long bones
tubular
humerus
femur
what is the humerus and what is the femur
humerus bot bovenarm
femur bot bovenbeen
shape and example of short bones
cuboidal
bones of the wrist and ankle
shape and example of flat bones
two compact bone plates separated by spongy bone.
skull
shape and example of irregular bones
various shapes
bones of the face
shape and example of sesamoid bones
round or oval
develop in tendons
is bone vascular and innervated? and how is it supplied with blood?
yes, usually one nutrient artery per bone that enters the internal cavity, that supplies marrow spongy bone, and inner layer or compact bone
What is the periosteum (and unique capability)
a fibrous connective tissue that covers bones externally, except in the area of a joint where articular cartilage is.
it can form new bone.
what do the branches of blood vessels that get to the periosteum supply?
outer layer of compact bone
what type of nerves go into the internal cavity (with the nutrient artery)
vasomotor, that regulate blood flow
is the periosteum more sensitive to injury than bone?
yes has more sensory nerves
what are the two types of ossification?
intramembranous and endochondral ossification
what is intramembranous ossification?
mesenchymal models of bones undergo ossification
what is endochrondal ossification?
cartilaginous models of bone form from mesenchyme and undergo ossification.
what are joints
the sites where twp bones meet
what are the two categories of joints?
synovial and solid joints
