Bone Development Flashcards
Functions of bones
1.Support, 2.Protection, 3. movement 4. Mineral Reservoir 5. Blood cell 6. Energy
The Two main groups
Axial skeleton, Appendicular skeleton
skull (and ear ossicles),
hyoid, vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx, sternum
and ribs
Axial skeleton
everything else!
Bones of the pelvis, arms and legs
Appendicular skeleton
Longer than they are wide
• Femur, humerus, fibula
Long bones
Cube-shaped bones (in wrist and ankle e.g.
talus)
• Sesamoid bones (within tendons, e.g., patella)
Short bone
Thin, flat, slightly curved
• Sternum, parietal, occipital, frontal
Flat bones

Skeletal Cartilages (HEF)
- Hyaline cartilage (chondrocytes = maintain matrix)
• Provide support, flexibility, and resilience
• Most abundant type
• Location: trachea, larynx, articular ends of bones,
epiphyseal plate, nose, costal cartilage - Elastic cartilage (chondrocytes)
• Similar to hyaline cartilages, but contain elastic fibers
• Location: ear, epiglottis, eustachian tube - Fibrocartilage (chondrocytes)
• Collagen fibers—have great tensile strength
• Location: IVD, pubic symphysis, menisci
What does Hyaline cartilage (chondrocytes = maintain matrix) do?

Fibrocartilage (chondrocytes)
Bulges, depressions, and holes serve as • Sites of attachment for muscles, ligaments, and tendons Joint surfaces Conduits for blood vessels and nerves
Bone Marking
