Clinical Anatomy 1 Skeletal System Bones on Macroscopic feat Flashcards
What does the skeletal system consist of? (4)
- Bones
- Cartilages
- Joints
- Special forms of connective tissue
What are the 9 cells that are part of the skeletal system?
- osteoblasts
- osteoclasts
- osteocytes
- chondroblasts
- chondroclasts
- chondrocytes
- mesenchymal cells
- Monocytes (macrophage linage)
- Fibroblasts
What is Extracellular matrix (ECM)?
- Are the molecules/materials that surround the outside of the cell.
- Contains both organic and inorganic componts
- Makes the bulk of the tissues
What are 3 cartilage cells?
- chondroblasts
- chondroclasts
- chondrocytes
What are 3 bone cells?
- osteoblasts(needed when fracture occurs; bone-forming cells)
- osteoclasts (large cells that resorb or break
down bone matrix) - osteocytes(mature bone cells)
What is Mesenchymal cells? (3)
- Embryonic connective tissue
- Can differentiate into bone forming cells, cartilage forming cells, blood forming cells, and muscle forming cells.
- Known as the origin of most cells.
What are 2 organic components in ECM?
- Collagen fibers
2. Ground substance
What is collagen fibers in ECM? (3)
- Is the most abundant
- Principal fibrous component
- Confers tensile strength
What is ground substance in ECM?
There are two types: Bone & Cartilage
What is ground substance Bone in ECM? (7)
- Mineralized
- Inorganic components
- Calcium
- Phosphates
- Rigid and Strong
- Brittle
- Remodeling
What is ground substance Cartilage in ECM? (4)
- Not mineralized
- Firm, solid gel-like
- Stiff and incompressible
- More flexible and resilient than bone
What is cell modulation?
- Change reversible
- Ex: osteocytes can turn to osteoblasts if a bone fracture occurs
What are bones lined with? (2)
- Periosteum
2. Endosteum
What is Periosteum?
Lines the bone cavity
What are 5 functions of bone?
- Protection for vital structures
- Support for the body
- Mechanical basis for movement
- Storage for salts (CALCIUM and phosphates)
- Hematopoiesis (creation of new blood cells; in the bone marrow)
What are 2 bone classification based on location?
- Axial
2. Appendicular
