chapter 7 skeletal system Flashcards
the human skeleton is initially what
cartilages and fibrous membranes
what cartilage is most abundant in the body
Hyaline cartilage
what age is the body completely ossified
By age 25 the skeleton is completely hardened
how many bone in human body
206 bones make up the adult skeleton (20% of body mass)
how many bone in appendicular skeleton
126 bones
how many bones axial skeleton
80 bones
classification of bones
Long Bones,Short Bones, Including Sesamoid bones or round bones, Flat Bones and Irregular Bones
function of bones
support and protect softer tissue, provide points of attachment for muscle, house blood-producing cells, and inorganic salts
what is epiphysis
ends of a long bone
Distal
Proximal
what is diaphysis
-shaft of a long bone
what is Metaphysis
widening part of the bone between the diaphysis and the epiphysis
what is compact bone
(cortical bone)-tightly packed cells found in diaphysis
what is spongy bone
(cancellous bone)- many branching bony plates found in epiphysis
what is articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage found on articulating surface
what is periosteum
tough outer covering of bone composed of dense connective tissue
what is endosteum
thin membrane of bone forming cells
what is medullary cavity
cavity containing marrow in the diaphysis of a long bone
what is trabeculea
branching bony plates that separate irregular spaces within spongy bone
what is bone marrow
Red marrow and yellow marrow
what kind of marrow is found in spongy bone
Red marrow
what dose red bone marrow produce
red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
what kind of marrow is found in diaphysis
Yellow marrow
what dose yellow marrow store
