Chapter 6 Flashcards
Appendicular skeleton
Arms, legs
Axial skeleton
Includes the skull, vertebrae, ribs. These bones protect, support or carry other body parts.
Functions of bones
Support, protection, movement, source of calcium
Skeletal system
Bones - tissue (material)
Structure - design (shapes)
Joints - motion
Tissue connective cells
Osteoblasts (like negative)
Bone forming cells that secrete bone matrix
Tissue connective matrix
Osteoclasts (like positive), organic, calcium
Multinucleate cells located at sites of bone resorption.
I beam principle
Bones are hollow
Wolffs law
That a bone grows or remodels in response to the demands placed on it
Osteoblasts
Make bones
Osteoclasts
Moves the bones
Piezoelectric
Ability to of bone to produce voltage under tension or compression
Mature bone
Osteons, haversian
Periosteum
A membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones
Endosteum
Lines the inner surface of bones (absorb/reabsorb)
Diaphysis
Main midsection or shaft of a long bone
Epiphysis
Is the rounded end of a long bone. It includes the growth plate
Cervical
7 cervical vertebrae c1-c7. The first two cervical vertebrae are the atlas and axis. Atlas has no body and no spinous process. It is on top. Allows you to nod.
Axis- has a body and other typical vertebrae processes. Has a knoblike dens. Acts as a pivot for the rotation of the atlas. Allows you to rotate your head from side to side
Thoracic
12 thoracic vertebrae. All articulate with ribs
Lumbar
Receives the most stress. L1-L5
Process
Where muscle attaches to the bone
Condyle
Round part at the end of a bone
Foramen
Is a hole
Tubercle
Bigger bump
Disk
Account for 25 % length of the spine
