DAT Skeletal System Cheat Sheet Flashcards
internal skeleton under soft tissue
endoskeleton
2 major components of endoskeleton
bone and cartilege
An avascular, soft & flexible connective tissue.
cartilege
is cartilage vascular or avascular
avascular
A hard, strong, lightweight living connective tissue.
bone
Supports soft tissue,
bone
protects internal organs,
bone
assists in locomotion,
bone
what stores minerals
bone
produces blood cells & stores energy in the form of adipose cells
boen
what cells stores energy in bone
adipose cells
where are adipose cells located
bone marrow
If stress is put on a bone, osteoblasts deposit…
collagen, calcium, and phosphate to
strengthen the bone
what mineral is made as a result of stress on the bone
hydroxyapatite
Cells part of the mesenchymal stem
cell lineage that differentiate into
osteoblasts.
Osteoprogenitor/osteogenic
bone cell incapable of mitosis
osteoctes
Exchange nutrients & waste material with
blood,
osteocytes
help regulate bone mass
osteocytes
Secrete collagen & form organic
compounds for bone formation
osteoblasts
Differentiate into osteocytes &
incapable of mitosis.
osteoblasts
Resorb (break down) bone matrix &
release minerals (e.g. Ca2+) into blood
osteoclasts
Multi-nucleated cells derived from
monocytes.
osteoclasts
Basic framework of skeleton that includes the
skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.
axial skeleton
