Ch. 3 Flashcards
two systems that work together to support the body and allow movement of the animal
musculoskeletal system
the formation of bone from fibrous tissue, continues until maturity which varies with species
ossification
the cells that produce bone
osteoblasts
large, multinuclear cells of the bone that absorb bone and reshape and remodel damaged bones
osteoclasts
mature bone cells (osteoblasts turn into…..when they mature)
osteocytes
osteo/o
bone
-blasts
immature
-clasts
break
red bone marrow , located in cancellous bone
hematopoietic
hemat/o
blood
-poietic
pertaining to formation
the inner space of bone contains yellow bone marrow
medullary cavity
connective tissue that is more elastic than bone
cartilage
specific type of cartilage, covers the joint surfaces of bone
articular cartilage
a curved fibrous cartilage found in some joints
meniscus
connections between bones
joints or articulations
chondro/o
cartilage
allow no movements
synarthroses
allow slight movement
amphiarthroses
allow free movement
ex. synovial joints
diarthroses
a jagged line where bones join and form a nonmovable joint
suture
a soft spot remaining at the junction of sutures that usually closes after birth
fontanelle
is a joint where two bones join and are held firmly together so that they function as one bone
symphysis
cartilaginous joint
ball-and- socket joints (enarthrosis) spheroid joints arthrodial or condyloid joints trochoid or pivot joints ginglymus or hinge joints gliding joints
synovial joints
allow a wide range of motion in many directions such as the hip and shoulder joints
ball-and-socket joints
joints with projections that fit into a socket such as the carpal joints (where the radius meets the carpus)
arthrodial or condyloid joints
one bone pivots on another in a rotary motion
trochoid joints (pivot joint)
allow motion in one plane or direction
ex. canine stifle and elbow joints
hinge joints
