Ch 6.1/2 Fn Skeletal System and Cartilage Flashcards
The fns of the skeletal system
Supports the body Protection (organs) Movement (muscles attach) Storage (minerals and lipids) Site of bl cell production
The skeletal system consists of
Bones
Cartilage
Tendons
Ligaments
_____ produce cartilage and become ______
Chondroblasts
Chondrocyte
Chondrocytes are located in lacunae and are surrounded by
Matrix
The matrix of cartilage contains
Collagen fibers (for strength) Proteoglycans (to trap water)
What surrounds the cartilage?
Perichondrium
What are the 2 layers of perichondrium?
Outer layer
Inner layer
The inner layer of perichondrium contains
Chondroblasts
The outer layer of perichondrium contains
Fibroblasts
What is apposition all growth?
Chondroblasts in the inner layer of perichondrium grow new cartilage on the surface of the cartilage
What is interstitial growth
Chondrocytes within the cartilage divide and produce additional matrix
What are the 2 types of bone formation during fetal development?
Intramembranous ossification
Endochondral ossification
name the 5 fn of the skeletal system
support protection movement storage blood cell production
how does the skeletal system provide support to the body?
bone is well suited for bearing weight
cartilage provides a firm, yet flexible support within certain structures
what are ligaments?
bands of FCT that attach to bones and hold them together
