Ch 7: Skeletal Anatomy And Histology Flashcards
Skeletal system has
Bones
Cartilage
Ligament
Cartilage is where in/on bones?
Around articulating joints of bones
Ligaments attach what to want?
Bone to bone
Functions of skeleton
Support
Protection
Movement
Electrolyte balance
Acid base balance
Blood formation
How do bones contribute to movement
Muscles attached; lever system
How do bones Contribute like to electrolyte balance
Store calcium and phosphate ions
How do bones contribute to acid – base balance
Contributes by absorbing or releasing alkaline phosphate and carbonic salts to help buffer pH
How do bones contribute to blood formation
Red bone marrow produce all formed elements of blood:
-platelets
-red blood cells
-white blood cells
Which tissues are bones composed of
Osseous tissue
Adipose tissue
Nervous tissue
Blood and bone marrow
Cartilage
Fibrous connective tissue
Connective tissue in bones has a _______ matrix
Hardened matrix
Matrix of bone made from
Collagen fiber scaffolding with hydroxyapatite and other minerals attached for hardened structure
Bones: collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite contribute to their ability to
Support weight but also be somewhat flexible
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Aka: Brittle bone disease
Genetic lack of collagen protein that results in excess of brittleness of bones
Rickets: what and cause
Lack of minerals and proper nutrients can result in “flimsy” bones
Cause: vitamin D deficiency and calcium deficiency
Which are considered Flat bones?
Sternum, ribs, skull
Irregular bones
Vertebrae and pelvic (hip) bones
Long bones
Proximal and distal limbs
