Chapter 3 Skelatal System Flashcards
(201 cards)
Skeletal structure
Bones bone marrow cartilage joints ligaments Sanovia membranes synovial fluid and Bursae
Functions
Actors framework support and protect internal organs work in conjunction with muscles ligaments and tendons
Ossification
Membranes and cartilage start becoming bone
Osteoclasts
New bone formation
Osteoblasts
Rebuild the bone
Periosteum
Tough fibrosis tissue that forms the outermost covering of the bone
Compact bone
Cortical bone the dents hard and very strong bond that forms a protective outer layer of bones accounts for 75% of body’s bone matter
Spongy bone
Cancelleous bone poorest lighter and weaker than compact bone red marrow is often located within the spongy bone bones with large percentage of spongy bone are weaker
Medullary cavity
Central cavity located in the shaft of long bones surrounded by compact bone red and yellow bone marrow are stored
Endosteum
Tissue that lines the medullary cavity
Red bone marrow
Located within the spongy bone is a Hemopoietic tissue that manufactures red blood cells and hemoglobin white blood cells and thrombocytes
Hemopoietic
Pertaining to the formation of blood cells
Yellow bone marrow
Functions as a fat storage area compose chiefly of fat cells and is located in the medullary cavity of long bones
Cartilage
Smooth rubbery blue white connective tissue that acts as a shock absorber between bones
Articular cartilage
Covers the surfaces of bones were they articulate or come together to form joints
Meniscus
Curved fibrosis cartilage found in some joints such as the knee
Diaphysis
The shaft of a long bone
Epiphyses
Wider ends of long bones covered with articular cartilage to protect it
Foramen
An opening in A bone through which blood vessels nerves and ligaments pass through
Process
Normal projection on the surface of a bone that most commonly serves as an attachment for muscle or tendon
Joints/articulations
The place of union between two more bones
Fibrous joint
Consisting of inflexible layers of dense connective tissue hold the bones tightly together
Fontanelles/Soft spot
Normally present on the school of a newborn
Cartaginous joints
Allow only slight movement and consist of bones connected entirely by cartilage
