Chapter 6: Skeletal System: Bones and Joints Flashcards
What are the 4 components of the skeletal system?
- Bones
- Cartilages
- Tendons
- Ligaments
Spongy and compact are two types of it.
Bone
Before a bone will form, it will start with this.
Cartilage
Bones to muscle
Tendons
Bones to bones
Ligament
Bones located at the center
Axial skeleton
Long bones. Comprises the upper and lower extremities
Appendicular skeleton
Skeletal system functions
- Support - rigid framework of the body
- Protect - surrounds the vital organs.
- Movement
- Storage - store Calcium and Phosphorus (phosphate).
- Blood cell production - spongy bone produces blood cells.
Composition of the extracellular matrix of the bone
- Collagen
- Ground substances
- Water
- Minerals
It is a tough, ropelike protein.
Collagen
Are large molecules consisting of many polysaccharides (sugar) attaching to and encircling core proteins?
Proteoglycans
The extracellular matrix of the cartilage contains this 2. What are these?
Note: This is why it is relatively rigid but springs back to its original shape after beingbent or slightly compressed. Making it an excellent shock absorber.
- Collagen = makes cartilage tough.
- Proteoglycan = makes cartilage smooth and resilient
The extracellular matrix of the bone contains collagen and minerals, including these 2. What are these?
Calcium and phosphate
The ropelike collagen fibers lend _____ strength to the bone.
flexible
The mineral component gives bone compression
(________) strength.
weight-bearing
Most of the minerals in bone are in the form of calcium phosphate crystals called what?
hydroxyapatite
What are the four bone shape classifications?
- Long bones
- Short bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
This is a type of bone that is longer than they are wide.
Examples: Upper and lower limb bones
Long bones
This is a type of bones that are approximately as wide as they are long.
Examples: Bones of the wrist and ankle.
Short bones
This is a type of bones that have a relatively thin and flattened shape.
Examples: Bones of the skull and sternum
Flat bones
This is the type of bone that includes the vertebrae and facial bones, which have shapes that do not fit readily into the other 3 categories.
Irregular bones
This is the shaft of the long bone. Compact bone tissue (on outside)
Diaphysis
Ends spongy bone tissue
Epiphysis
This covers epiphysis and it reduces friction.
Articular cartilage
This is the site of growth between diaphysis and epiphysis.
Epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal plate will turn into this if an individual became an adult.
Epiphyseal line
Center of diaphysis red or yellow marrow
Medullary cavity
Membrane around bone’s outer surface.
Periosteum
Membrane that lines medullary cavity or the inner surface of the bone.
Endosteum
Between epiphysis and diaphysis.
Note: This is not the epiphyseal plate or line
Metaphysis
Epiphyseal ________ in juvenile.
plates
Epiphyseal ______ in adults.
lines
