Chapter 6 Skeletal System Flashcards
List the two functions of the skeletal system and the sub functions under each
Physical - Structural support - Protection - Leverage (movement) Metabolic - storage of calcium, phosphate and lipids - Blood cell production
Name 4 tissue types in bone
- Reticular connective tissue with blood (red bone marrow)
- adipose connective tissue (yellow bone marrow)
- Compact bone/Osseous tissue
- Spongy bone
List 3 types of bone cells
- Osteocytes
- osteoblasts
- osteoclasts
Function of Osteocytes
Adult/fully developed bones cells
- keep up compact bone by recycling calcium salts and assisting in repair
function of osteoblasts
baby bone cells (haven’t differentiated yet.)
- build more bone
Function of Osteoclasts
- huge cells that break down bone
- cut up bony matrix
Name 4 different bone shapes/types
- long bones
- short bones
- flat bones
- irregular bones
Long bones description and example
longer than they are wide. They have a long shaft and have two circular knobs at each end.
Ex: Femur and humerus
Short bones description and example
have roughly equal dimensions
Ex: Carpal and Tarsal bones
Flat bones description and example
thin and broad and are roughly cubes
Ex: Ribs and scapulae
Irregular bones description and example
have weird shapes that don’t fit into one of the other categories
Ex: vertebrae and many skull bones
Axial skeleton
head, neck, and trunk
appendicular skeleton
the four limbs plus the shoulder bones and pelvic girdle
parts of a long bone (2)
Epiphysis: Big knobs at the end of the bone. Have spongy bone in them
diaphysis: The shaft of the bone. Contains the bone marrow cavity
Name two types of bone development
- Intramembranous ossification
- endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification process
- Osteoblasts differentiate from embryonic or fetal fibrous connective tissue when the matrix starts to calcify.
- Osteoblasts then build bone from ossification centers, and as the bone grows outward bone and osteocytes are formed.
- Blood vessels grow into the area to support the osteoblasts and get trapped in the bone.
- This method is how the flat bones of the skull, the mandible, and the clavicles form.
Ossification
Changing other tissues into bone
the skeleton starts out as what kind of cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage
endochondral ossification process
REVIEW THIS!!!
four regions of the skull
- frontal
- parietal (2 bones)
- temporal (2 bones)
- occipital
Zygomatic bones
Cheek bones
Nasal bone
Bridge of your nose
Maxilla
2 bones that make up your upper jaw
Mandible
lower jaw
Sphenoid bone
in the center of the skull behind the eyes
looks like a pair of wings

List the 5 types of vertebrae and how many there are
- Cervical are in the neck–7
- Thoracic are in the thoracic region and connect to the ribs–12
- Lumbar are in the dorsal abdominal region–5
- Sacrum has four pairs of holes– 5 fused
- Coccyx is the tail bone–4 fused
C1 vertebrae
called the atlas
flattest vertebrae
talks with the skull
“holds the world of your brain”
C2 Vertebrae
called the axis
has a big superior projection called the dens
“The world then spins on the axis”
breastbone is called
Sternum
How many pairs of ribs?
12
