Chapter 6 Flashcards
Storage of minerals
Calcium homeostasis- keeps calcium regular (very important)
- Support
- Storage of minerals & lipids
- Blood cell production
- Protection
- Leverage
Skeletal system has 5 primary functions. What are they?
Blood cells production
Red marrow
Leverage
Force of motion
Storage of lipids
Yellow marrow
Sutural bones (description)
Small flat and oddly shaped bones
Sutural bones (examples)
Sutural bone and sutures
Irregular bones (description)
Complex shapes with short flat, notched or ridged surfaces
Irregular bones (examples)
Vertibrae and pelvis
Short bones (description)
Boxlike
Short bones (examples)
Carpal and tarsal
Flat bones (description)
Thin parallel surfaces
Flat bones (examples)
Skull, sternum, ribs and scapula
Long bones (description)
Long and slender
Long bones (examples)
Limb bones (humerus, phalanges, arm, palms, soles) etc
Sesamoid bones (description)
Small, round and flat
Sesamoid bones (examples)
Bones that develop inside tendon
Process and ramus
Part that sticks out
Process
Projection or bump
Ramus
Extension of bone that forms an angle with the rest of the structure
1- foremen 2- canal 3- fissure 4- meats 5- sinus
Openings
Forman
Rounded passageway for blood vessels and/or nerves
Canal
Duct or channel
Fissure
Deep furrow, cleft or split
Sinus
Chamber within a bone “narrow filled with air”
Meatus
Passage or channel, especially of canal
1- trochanter 2- crest 3- spine 4- line 5- tubercle 6- tuberosity
Area of tendon/ligament attachment
Trochanter
Large/rough part
Crest
Prominent ridge
Spine
Pointed process
Line
Low ridge
Tubercle
Small, rounded projection
Tuberosity
Rough projection
- head
- neck
- condyle
- trochlea
Joint surfaces
Head
Expanded articular end of epiphysis, often from shaft by narrower neck
Neck
Narrow connection between the epiphysis and diaphysis
Condyle
Smooth rounded articular process
Trochlea
Smooth grooves articular process shaped like pulley
Facet
Small flat articular surface
Fossa
Sulcus
Depression
Fossa
Shallow depression
Sulcus
Narrow groove
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone
Epiphysis
End (where joint surfaces are)
Metaphysis
Between diaphysis and epiphysis. Location of epiphysis plates
Compact bone
Dense. Solid superficial layer
Medullary/ marrow cavity
Protective layer that surrounds central space
Spongy bone
Not compact bone (in epiphyses)
Cortex
Same of compact bone but in flat bones
2/3 calcium phosphate / calcium hydroxide

The other ~1/3 of bone matrix is the __ __ ___ fibers.
Organic protein collagen
Compression/ bending and twisting
Calcium crystals can withstand __ but not __.
