Bones Flashcards
Blood cell production
Hematopoiesis
Where does hematopoiesis occur?
Red Bone Marrow
How many bones in the human body?
206
The two divisions of the skeleton are:
Axial (Skull, Vertebrates, Rib cage)
Appendicular(Everything Else)
4 shapes of bones
- Long bones ( Classic Dog Bone Shape)
- Short bones (Cube Shapped - Talus)
- Flat bones (Thin Sternum & Scapula)
- Irregular ( Vertebrate & Pelvis)
What are the 2 types of bone found within a bone?
Compact or Cortical
Spongy
What makes up spongy bones?
Trabeculae
Two types of bone marrow and their function
Red: hematopoiesis
Yellow: Stores Fat as energy
What is the bulb like projection at the end of a long bone called?
Epiphyses
What does the epiphyses contain?
Red Bone Marrow
What is the long middle portion of a long bone called?
Diaphysis
What does the center of the diaphysis contain instead of spongy bone?
Medullary Cavity which contains Yellow Bone Marrow
Basic structural unit of bones
Osteon
What are osteons composed of ?
Lumellae
Which structure in the osteons contain blood vessels
Central Canals
What are osteocytes?
Mature bone cells that monitor and maintain bone material
Where can you find the Osteocytes
In Lucunea
Osteocytes give directions to _______ (Bone making) and ________ (Bone Breaking) cells
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
What happens to the osteoclasts when they are done breaking down bone?
Apoptosis
Non moving joints are called
(Based on Function)
Give example
Synarthroses
Cranium
Partly-moving joints
(Functional Classification)
Give example
Amphiarthroses
Where pubic bones meet to form the Pelvis
Fully moveable joints are called
Give example
Diarthroses
Knee
3 structural classification of joints
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Connect bones with dense fibrous tissue
Dont move
Fibrous joints
This Structural Classification of joints Dont move very much
Cartilaginous
These joints contain:
Bandlike ligaments
Joint cavity
Fibrous joint capsule
Lubricating fluid
Synovial joints
The top Vertebrate is called:
The atlas
Name the vertebrae from superior to inferior and their numbers
Cervical 1 - 7
Thoracic 8 - 19
Lumbar 20 - 25
How are the ribs classified/ named
True ribs 1 - 7
False ribs 8 - 12
Floating ribs 11 & 12
What bone is in the center of the rib cage?
Sternum
Functional classification of joints ( How they move )
Synarthroses (Non Moving)
Amphiarthroses (Partly-Moving)
Diarthrosew (Fully Moveable)
6 types of synovial joints
Ball and socket
Condylar
Hinge
Pivot
Plane
Saddle
Bending movement that decreases the angle of joint
Flexion
