Bone Flashcards
How many types of cartilage?
What are they?
3 types.
- Fibrocartilage
- Hyaline Cartilage
- Elastic Cartilage
5 general functions of bone?
Support ( support to body)
Storage ( stores calcium)
Protection
Leverage ( movement, muscles attach to bone and give movement )
Hemopoiesis ( formation of blood cells)
Fibrocartilage characteristics and location?
Provides toughness and flexibility to acts as shock absorber and resists compression..
Found in..
Pubic symphysis & intervertebral discs, and knee joints
Hyaline Cartilage characteristics and location?
- Most common/ abundant type.
- weakest cartilage
- supports soft tissue
- forms most of fetal skeleton
Found in…
- Nose -Articular cartilage of joints
- Trachea. -
- Larynx
- Costal
Elastic cartilage characteristics and location?
Elastic cartilage resists deformational pressure.
Located…
Epiglottis & external part of ear.
New borns have how many bones ?
350 bones
Adults have how many bones?
206 bones
Axial skeleton is composed if 3 regions? How many bones total?
Skull ( 29 )
Thoracic-cage ( 25)
Vertebral column ( 26 )
80 total bones in axial skeleton!!!
Appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the appendages
How many of each and total?
Girdles ( 6 )
Upper appendages ( 60 )
Lower appendages ( 60 )
Appendicular skeleton 126 total..
Basic features of long bone?
- Have greater length than width.
- have diaphysis/ shaft (middle part)
- have epiphysis ( bone ends) for bone on bone articulation
Classification of bones?
Long, Short, Flat, Irregular , sesamoid, sutural
Long bone classification? Example?
Upper limb. Lower limb
- Humerus - femur
- Ulna. - fibula
- Radius - tibia
- Phalanges -phalanges
Short Bone classification example?
Have length nearly equal to width.
External surface have compact bone
Interior spongy bone.
Examples : carpals - tarsals -sesamoid bones - patella ( largest sesamoid bone)
Flat bone classification
Example?
Flat thin surface, composed of roughly parallel surfaces of compact bone., with a layer of internally placed spongy bone.
Muscle attachment and protect underlying soft tissues.
** roof of skull , scapulae , sternum , Ribs.
Irregular Bone classification?
Example?
Elaborate complex shapes.
Do not fit into preceding categories.
Examples….
Vertebrae, Ossa Coxae ( hip bones), ethmoid, and sphenoid bones.
