How many bones are in the body
206
What is the Axial, how many bones and function
80 Bones and function supports head, neck and trunk, protects brain, spinal cord and organs in thorax
What is the Appendicular, how many bones and function
126 Bones, limbs and their girdles and function enables us to carry out movements
Bones are named based on their shape give example ; long
Humerus and Femur
Bones are named based on their shape give example ; short
Carpals and Tarsals
Bones are named based on their shape give example ; Flat
Sternum, Scapula, Skull
Bones are named based on their shape give example ; Irregular
Vertebra, bones of face
Draw a long bone and label it
Refer to book
Types of bone cells ; Osteoblats
Bone building cells, syntheses and secrete matrix minerals
Types of bone cells ; Osteocytes
Mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue
Types of bone cells ; Osteoclasts
Huge multinucleate cells, resorb and remodel bone with endosteum
Compact bone are arranged in units called
Osteons or Haversian system
What does the Haversian System contain and draw and label
Lamellae, Lacunae, Osteocytes, Canaliculi and central canals
What is central canal ( Haversian )
Run longitudinally through the bone contains blood vessels and nerves
What is lamellae
Concentric rings of hard calcified matrix
What is lacunae
Small spaces between lamellae that contain osteocytes
What is canaliculi ( little canals
Radiating in all directions from lacunae are networks of minute canals containing the processes of osteocytes
What bone consists of lamellae arranged in an irregular lattice of thin columns called trabeculae are filled with red bone marrow
Spongy Bone
What two type of cartilage is there and where are they found
Interstitial growth ( within )
Appositional growth ( outside )
What bone grows in thickness but not in length
Periosteum : Membrane surrounding the outside of bone. Contains osteoblasts, allows bone to grow in thickness but not in length
What bone grows in length not in thickness
Epiphyseal Plate : Cartilage is replaced by bone - layer of hyaline cartilage enables bone to grow in length
What is the role of Periosteum
Protects bone, assist in fracture repair, help nourish bone, serves as a attachment point for ligaments and tendons
