Chapter 8 - Skeletal System Flashcards
Functions
- Support
- Protection
- Movement
- Mineral storage
- Hematopoisis
Support
Framework
Protection
Ribs (lungs and heart)
Skull (brain)
Vertebrae (spinal cords)
Movement
Muscles pull the bones
Mineral storage
Calcium is the most abundant
Hematopoiesis
- Red marrow - stem cells
* Platelets
Red marrow - stem cells
Convert to RBC or WBC
Platelets
Red marrow in spongy bone and marrow of long bone of childern
Classification
- Spongy bone
- Compact
- Growth
Spongy
Strong
Has little structures
“Holes” and angles in it
•Supports weight but doesn’t weigh a lot •Made of ~Trabecular ~Red marrow ~Lacunae and canal oculi openings
Trabecular
Bridges and strats
Spongy bone
~~Red marrow
Stem cells; make blood
Compact bone
strong bone openings
•Can remodel/head itself •Haversion system 〰Lamella 〰Osteocytes 〰Lacunae 〰Canaliculi 〰Haversion
Lamella
Ring of cells
Osteocytes
Bone cells
Lacunae
- Little lakes
- where osteocytes live
Canaliculi
Tiny canals that carry nutrients to lacunae
Haversion
- Central canal
- Carries blood vessels and nerves to lamella
Growth
-Inflamed by growth hormones and sex hormones
•over secretion ; gianlism
•under secretion ; dwarfism
(influenced some by genetics)
•injury - cause growth plates to fuse early ; stop
growth
Bone Shapes
- Short bones
- Long bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
Short Bones
- Cube shaped
- Wrist and ankles
- Compact outer, spongy inner
Long Bones
-Arms, legs, fingers •epiphysis •diaphsis •Cartilage •Blood vessels •Marrow •Periosteum •Endometrium
Epiphysis
Ends of long bones
Diaphsis
Shaft of long bones
Cartilage
- Articular, joins the bones to another surface
- Hyline : protects from rubbing, wears bone down (prevents)
Blood Vessels
very vascular
Marrow
- Red Marrow
- Yellow marrow
Marrow
〰Red marrow
- Stems cells,
- makes RBC, WBC, and platelets
Yellow Marrow
fat
Peritoneum
Dense irregular tissue on the outside of bone
Endostrium
Lines the inside of the bone
(medulla cavity)
Flat
- Skull, sternum, scapulae, ribs
- Compact outer layer and spongy inner layer
Irregular
- Face, vertebrae, hip bones
- Compact outer and spongy inner
Regions, Names, and Markings
-Two main Regions •Axial •Appendicular -Markings •Bumps •Fossa •Foramen
Axial
Skull, vertebra, ribs, sternum
Bumps
-Structures where tendons attach
•Tuberosity/tubericle •Condyle
•Epiendyle •Trochanter
•Head •Facet
•Process •Spine
Tuberosity/tubericle
Knob-like projections that are smooth and round
Condyle
A large rounded knob that articulates with another bone
Epienyle
An enlargement near and above a condyle
Trochanter
Large tubercle or tuberosity found on the femur
Head
An large rounded endocbone
Facet
A small flattered surface
Process
A promirent projection
Spine
A sharp projection
Fossa
Shallow smooth flat surface for a fan shaped muscle to attach to depression or groove
Foramen
Hole, usually serve as passageway
Vertebral Column
- Cervical
- Thoracic
- Lumbar
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
Cervical
(7)
- Atlas C1
- Axis C2
Atlas
Holds up head, allows you to nod your head
Axis
Allows you to rotate your head
Thoracic
(12)
-Attach to rib
Lumbar
(5)
-Supports weight
