Functions of Skeletal System
- Support
- Movement
- Protection
- Hem
- Storage
Flat
Thin
Rib
Short
Cubic Shaped
Carpals
Irregular
Complex Shape
Vertebrae
Sesamoid
Enclosed by a tendon
Patella
Structural Bone
Small bones located within cranial structures (Joint)
Ephipeseal Plate
Area of cartilage were bones grow in length
Articular Cartilage
A layer of cartilage covering epiphyses to reduce friction in joints
Periosteum
Tough outer covering around bone
Diaphysis
Long Shaft
Medullary Cavity
Hollow inside of the bone
Osteogenic Cell
Unspecialized cells which undergo mitosis to become osteoblasts
Osteoblasts
Bone building cells
Osteocytes
Bone cells which maintain bone tissue
Osteoclasts
Bone destroying cells
Compact Bone
Makes up the shaft of all long bones
Osteon
Basic unit of compact bone
Haverisan
Contains blood vessels and nerves
Lamella
Concentric rings of matrix
Lacunae
Spaces with contain osteocytes
Canaliculi
Canals that link osteocytes to haversian canal
Spongy Bone
Contains red bone marrow and makes up the end of long bone
Red Bone Marrow
Produces Blood Cells
Bone Formation
Ossification
- Initially in embryo and fetus
- Growth
- Remodeling
- Repair of fractures
Intamembraneous
Bone forms directly in mesenchyme layer (Membrane Like)
Endocranial
Forms with hyaline cartilage developed from mesenchyme
Endocranial Ossification
- Spongy bone is formed
2. Secondary center is deveopled
Length
Chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate divide and increase cartilage layer
Fontanels
Area of fibrous connective tissue in infant skulls that are replaced by bones
Structures
Immovable joint between the cranial bone in adult
Sinuses
Air spaces in cranial bones, lined with mucous membrane
Sesamoid Bone
Bones that are connected with tissue
Trabeculae
Lattice of bone with spaces between that contain red bone marrow
Classification
Cells become osteocytes
Primary ossification center
the first area of the bone to start ossifying
Secondary ossification center
Area of ossification that appears after the primary ossification center has already appeared
Remodeling
Resorption by osteoclasts and deposition by osteoblasts
Osteoporosis
A decrease in bone mass which increases the risk of fractures
Fracture
Trama to bone Tissue
