Bones, joints and cartilage Flashcards
The Musculoskeletal System - Function
Support
Movement
Protection
Produces blood cells
Storesminerals
skeleton is comprised of two main tissue types
Bone+Cartilage
Bone-structure
compact (exterior) and trabecular (interior)
long, short (usually cuboidal), flat (slightly curved) and irregular
Cartilage- examples
hyaline, fibro and elastic
hyaline
growth plate, joint surfaces and temporary scaffold
fibrocartilage
intervertebral discs; menisci (pads) in joint spaces
elastic
external ear, epiglottis and larynx
bone- function
support, protection, muscle attachment (locomotion), minerals, hematopoiesis, lipis storage
cartilage- function
template for bone formation, growth of long bones, smooth, articulating joint surface
bone- water content
20-25
cartilage- water content
75-80
bone- cell types
osteoblasts
osteocytes
osteoclasts
cartilage- cell types
chondroblasts
chondrocytes
osteoblasts
forms bone tissue
osteocytes
most abundant amount of bone tissue
osteoclasts
bone reabsorbing, the destruction of bone matrix
How many bones are there in the body and where are they from
206 bones in total
Axial Skeleton-80
Appendicular skeleton-126
Axial Skeleton
bones of the skull vertebral column and ribs
Appendicular skeleton
bones of the limbs, pelvis, scapula and clavicle
osteogenic cells
stem cells- develops into an osteoblast
osteogenic cells to osteoblast to osteocytes
Skeleton develops from
the embryonic mesenchyme
unspecialised cells in a gel-like matrix
what is the Intramembranous ossification
cells aggregate insites of bone development
mesenchymal cells migrate and form condensations
bone forms directly within the condensation
Formation of ossification centre to Osteocytes develop mineral salts - calcification
to Formation of trabeculae
to Development of periosteum, spongy bone and compact bone tissue
what is the Endochondral ossification ( majority of bones)
a cartilage template forms
the cartilage template is replaced by bone
Bone Growth – Interstitial(Length)
Growth - Cartilage continually grows and is replaced by bone
Remodelling - Bone is resorbed and added by appositional growth
