Exam two study guide Flashcards
In regard to function of skeletal system, what are the five functions of the skeletal system?
Support, storage, blood cell production, protection and movement.
The support function does what
provides support and framework for attachment of soft tissue and organs.
Storage function does what
Calcium and phosphorus ions in body fluids, stores energy in lipids in yellow marrow.
Blood cell production (hematopoiesis) does what
red and white blood cells within red marrow.
Protection does what
bones protect soft tissue and organs
Movement does what
attach to bones by tendons, use as levers
In regard to general shapes of bones, long bones are
longer then wide, (femur) head of bone is proximal
Short bones are
generally cube shaped and mostly spongy bone, (carpal, sesamoid)
Flat bones are
thin, flattened, usually curved (parietal bone from roof of skull)
irregular bones are
complex shaped (vertebrae)
Osteocytes are
Mature bone cells found in compact and spongy bone, maintain normal bone structure by recycling calcium salts
Osteoblast are
cells responsible for production of new bone (osteogenesis). Produce new bone matrix and deposition of calcium salts
osteoclasts are
dissolve bony matrix by recreating acids and enzymes through resorption, regulates amounts of calcium and phosphates in fluids
ossification is
cartilage or other connective tissue are replaced by bone
calcification is
deposit of calcium salts during ossification
modeling is
all long bones start as cartilage, serves as model
remodeling is
continuously losing/bring in calcium & minerals through blood and pull of gravity
Calcium Metabolism is
D3 has been processed into liver, kidneys convert to calcitroll, a hormone that stimulates absorption of Ca & phosphate ions in digestion tract
Diaphysis is
a central shaft of long bone
Epiphyses is
expanded portions of the long bone covered by hyaline (articular cartilage)
Physis is
Growth
Metaphysis is
between growth
Periosteum is
outer surface of a bone, isolates bone from surrounding tissue, circ. and nervous supplies, growth and repair
Cancellous bone is
also called trabecular bone, spongy part of bone which fills the epiphyses
Red marrow is
forms blood cells in spongy bone of flat bones and epiphyses of some long bones
yellow marrow is
storage area for adipose tissue
oseon is
basic function and structural unit of compact bone
Lamellae is
cylindrical structures of calcified matrix orient parallel to long axis of central canal
Lacunae is
small pockets found in matrix between lamellae
Canaliculi is
small channels through matrix which interconnect lacunae to blood vessels
Calcium is
most abundant mineral in human, calcium phosphate 2/3 wt. of bone (calcium,ca phosphate, ca salt)
In regard to fractures, closed and open are
no broken skin, not exposed to environment and open skin, open to environment.
greenstick is
children, angular force applied to long bone, bowing 1 side of cortex, fracture opposite side
Torus is
localized buckling or bulge, little to no displacment
