Ch 7 Anatomy Flashcards
Skeletal muscles are attached to the
Bones
Internal organs are found in the
Cavities surrounded by the bones and skeletal muscle
The skull protects the
Brain
The ribs and breast bone protect
Vital organs in the chest, which is the heart and lungs.
Bone contains a vital tissue
Red bone marrow-the blood forming tissue
What system helps make movements possible when bones at moveable joints are pulled by muscle
Skeletal
Where is fat stored
In cavities of some bones
Blood cell formation in red bone marrow is
Hematopoiesis
4 major bone types
Long, short, flat, and irregular
Hollow tube of hard compact bone
Diaphysis or shaft
Hollow area inside diaphysis bone that contains yellow bone marrow
Medullary cavity
Spongy bone that contains red bone marrow
Epiphysis or ends of the bone
Covers epiphyses and functions as a cushion
Articular cartilage
Strong membrane covering bone everywhere expect at joint surfaces
Periosteum
Membrane lining medullary cavity
Endosteum
The porous bone tissue on the inside of individual bones is called
Cancellous bone or spongy bonec
Calcitonin is from the
Thyroid gland
Increases mineralization of bone by reducing blood calcium levels in
Calcitonin
Parathyroid hormone is from the
Parathyroid glands
Counterbalances the effects of calcitonin by decreasing calcium in the bone is
Parathyroid hormones
When the amount of calcium in blood exceeds it’s normal level
Calcium moves out of the blood and into the bones for storage
When blood calcium decreases to a below normal level
Calcium moves in the opposite direction
The process of blood formation is
Hematopoirsis
Red bone marrow is a
Soft connective tissue inside the hard walls of some bones that produce both red and white blood cells
Blood cell formation is a vital process carried on in
Red bone marrow
The cancellous bone layer is the
Dipole
