CHAPTER 6 Flashcards
cartilage
embryonic forerunner of most bones and covers many joint surfaces
ligaments
hold bone to bone at joint
tendons
attach muscle to muscle
human skeleton
made up of cartilage and fibrous membranes, later replaced by bone
skeletal cartilages- type of cartilage tissue
structure- water, avascular, no nerves. provides resilience
Perichondrium
surrounded by a layer of dense irregular tissue, contains blood vessels from which nutrients diffuse through the matrix to reach cartilage cells. acts as girdle help resist outward expansion when cartilage compresses
hyaline cartilage
most abundant skeletal cartilage, spherical chondrocytes, fine collagen fibers which not detectable microscopically. provide support with flexibility and resilience
4 types of hyaline cartilage
articular, costal, respiratory, and nasal cartilage
articular cartilage
end of bones where form movable joints
costal cartilage
connects ribs to sternum
respiratory cartilage
forms skeleton of Larynx
nasal cartilage
supports the external nose
elastic cartilage
looks like hyaline, more elastic fibers. stand up to repeated bending and maintain shape, external ear and epiglottis
fibrocartilage (shock absorption)
highly compressable cartilage, it has great tensile strength, parallel rows of collagen fibers, alternating with parallel rows of chondrocytes in lacunae. withstand heavy pressure and stretch. found in intervertebral discs, meniscus, and pubic symphysis
bone
many sizes and shapes. 270 at birth that fuse as we age, 206-adult
groups of bones
framework that supports body, levers, minerals release into blood stream (deposit and withdrawal), triglyceride storage (source of energy)
axial skeleton
central supporting axis of body. bones=skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage. function= protect, support, and carrying other body parts
appendicular skeleton
bones=upper limbs and pectoral girdle, lower limbs and pelvic girdle. bones that help append the limb to the axial skeleton. function= locomotion (move from place to place) and manipulation of the environment
classification of bones
according to shape. long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones
long bones
rigid levers for movement (humerus) elongated shape not overall size, longer than they are wide, have a shaft, and 2 ends to them. all limb bones except patella, wrist, and ankle bones.
short bones
glide within joints(carpals of wrist), bones that are cube shaped, equal in length and width. wrist and ankle bones, sesamoid
flat bones
thin often curved (ribs), thin flattened and a bit curved. sternum, ribs, scapulae, and most skull bones
irregular bones
complex shape (vertebrae), complicated shape, vertebrae and hip bones
functions of bones
support, protection of delicate organs, movement, mineral storage calcium and phosphate, production of blood cells, blood formation in marrow (hematopoesis), acid-base balance, and detoxification
sesamoid
form within tendons, due to stress
sutural (wormian) bones
extra bones of skull, not found in everyone
bone structure
dense outter layer thats smooth and solid(compact), internal spongy, other area with red or yellow bone marrow
bones as organs
4 tissue types
bone markings
projections, depressions, and openings indicate stress from tendons, ligaments and muscle serve as conduits
projections that attach to muscle
outward growths, bulges
tuberosity
large rounded projections and can be roughened. rough surface. (seated ischial tuberosity- pressure point develop decubitous ulcer)
tubercle
small rounded projection or a process.
crest
narrow ridge of bone (usually prominent)
line
narrow ridge of bone (less prominent than a crest)
epicondyle
raised area on or above a condyle.
trochanter
very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process (the only examples are on the femur)
