CH-6 Bones and Skeletal tissues Flashcards
Perichondrium
A layer of dense irregular connective tissue, contains blood vessels where nutrients are diffused through the matrix to reach the cartilage cells, acts as “girdle to help resist expansion”
Hyaline cartilage (Structure)
Most abundant skeletal cartilage, i composed of spherical chondrocytes and fine collagen fibers, which are not detachable.
Hyaline cartilage (Function)
Provide support, flexibility, resilience
Types of Hyaline cartilage (Articular cartilage)
Found at the end of our bones where they form joints
Types of Hyaline cartilage( Costal cartilage)
Connects the ribs to sternum.
Types of Hyaline cartilage(Respiratory cartilage)
Forms the skeleton of the larynx
Types of Hyaline cartilage(Nasal cartilage)
Supports the external nose
Elastice cartilage (Structure)
Looks like Hyaline but way more elastic fibers
Elastice cartilage (function)
To stand up to repeated bending while still maintain shape.
Elastic cartilage (Location)
Found in the external ear and epiglottis
Fibrocartilage (Structure)
Highly compressible cartilage, great tensile strength, parallel rows of collagen fibers, alternating with chondrocytes in lacunae
Fibrocartilage (locations) +(Functions)
In-between the vertebrae, in vertebral discs, in between knee and in between the hip bones. (To withstand heavy pressure and stretch)
Bone
Supports, movement, protection, blood formation, stored minerals “Calcium and Phosphate”
Axial skeleton (bones)
Make up the skull ,vertebral column, rib cage
Axial skeleton (Functions)
Protecting, supporting,Carrying other body parts.
Appendicular skeleton (bones)
Upper/lower limbs, girdles bones, Coaxial bone (hip bone)
Appendicular skeleton (Functions)
Locomotion, manipulation of the environment.
Classification of bones (Long bones)
Named for their elongated shape, longer than wide, and they have a shaft and two ends. Ex:All limb bones except patella, wrist bones, ankle bones.
Classification of bones (Short bones)
Bones that are cubed shaped, equal in length and width
Ex; Wrist-bones, ankle bones, sesamoid bones.
Classification of bones (Flat bones)
Thin, flattened, a bit curved
Ex: Sternum, ribs, scapulae and most of our skull bones.
Classification of bones (Irregular bones)
Complicated shape.
Ex: Vertebrae, and hip bones
Function of bone
- Support
- Protection
- Movement
- Mineral storage
- Production of blood cells
Gross anatomy of bones
Every bone is going to have a dense outer layer (Compact bone) other areas we’ll see red bone marrow or yellow bone marrow (fat)
Projections that attach to muscle (Tuberosity)
Large rounded projections may be roughened
