Chapter 4 - Introduction To The Skeletal System And Axial Skeleton Flashcards
What are the structural rolls
Support
protection
movement
What are the functions of the skeletal system
Support, protection, assistance in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, triglyceride storage
What are you homeostatic rolls
Mineral homeostasis
blood cell production
triglyceride storage
What are the different types of bones
Short flat irregular sesamoid long
What are the long bone regions
Diaphysis: long cylindrical shaft of the bone
Epiphyses: end of the bone
Metaphyses: epiphyseal plates (developing bone) or epiphyseal bone (mature bone)
Marrow/ medullary cavity: hollow cylindrical space with the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow
Surface tissue of a long bone
Endosteum
Articular cartilage
Periosteum
Osseous tissue parts
50% mineral salts
25% collagen fibres
25% water
What are the types of Osseous tissue
Compact bone, spongy bone
What are the three principal steps of ossification
Initial phone formation
growth of bones and tell adult size
remodelling and repairer of bones
What are the two processes that can produce bones
Intramembranous ossification- flat bones
Endochondral ossification: long, short and irregular
What are the steps of intramembranous ossification
Occurs with then membranes
tissue sheets have large network of blood vessels
Some cells develop into osteoblasts and start forming spongy bone
Sandwich beginning to forum -connective tissue is the bread and spongy bone is the meat
Connective tissue produces lots of osteocytes that can enter the spongy bone and start to form the compact bone -now termed periosteum
What is endochondral ossification
Early embryonic Skeleton comprised of hyaline cartilage
Cells and Cartilage die creating pockets (starts in future diasphysis)/ periosteum forums and around the cartilaginous model
Periosteum supplies the needed osteoblasts for development
Osteoblasts, blood vessels and nerves penetrate the cartilage plate beginning to replace it with spongy bone
Build compact phone
What is bone remodelling and how does it work
Osteoclasts destroy ECM -osteoblasts deposit new ECM
What are the two main parts of the skeleton and how many bones are there in the adult skeleton
Axial skeleton: skull, spinal column, ribs, sternum
Appendicular skeleton: upper and lower limbs, pelvic and pectoral girdles
206 bones
What are the types of bone surface markings
Depressions /openings: provide space or passageways for soft tissue
Projections /processes: help form joints & provide attachment points for connective tissue
