Final Exam Ch 7-10 Flashcards
Name the 5 functions of the Skeletal System
- It supports and stabilizes surrounding tissues
- Protects vital organs of the body
- It assists in body movements by providing attachments for muscles
- It manufactures blood cells. (Hematopoiesis)
- It is a storage area for mineral salts, calcium and fats in yellow marrow
Two types of Ossification (formation of bone by osteoblasts)
- Intramembranous Ossification
- Endochondral Ossification
Intramembranous Ossification
Dense connective tissues membranes are replaced by deposits of inorganic calcium salts
Endochondral Ossification
Cartilage is the environment in which the bone cells develop
Why diet can affect bone development in children and bone maintenance In older adults
Still required to intake calcium for our bones because the bones need it. Helps keep bones strong and healthy.
Histology of compact bone
- Compact or dense bone is strong and solid
- Cancellous or spongy bone has many open spaces filled with bone marrow
The Haversian System
Named after Clopton Havers
Haversian canals are small canals containing blood vessels running parallel to the surface of compact bone
In the ring of bones, are cavities called Lacunae. Each lacuna contains an osteocyte.
Lacunae are connected to one another. Also to the osteons by smaller canals called canaliculi
The tissue fluid that circulates in these canals Carrie’s nutrients and oxygen to and waste away from the bone cell
Cancellous Bone
Consists of a mesh work of bone called trabeculae.
Trabeculae creates the spongy appearance of cancellous bone.
The spaces between the trabeculae are filled with bone marrow
Red Bone Marrow
It’s function is hematopoiesis (formation of blood cells)
In adults, the ribs, vertebrae, sternum and pelvis contain red bone marrow in their cancellous tissue
Yellow bone marrow
Is found in shafts of long bones with their cancellous tissue
Stores fat cells
Bone Markings
Certain projections called processes like the spine, condyle, tubercle, trochlea, trochanter, crest, line, head and neck
Depressions called fossae. Examples are suture, foramen, meatus or canal, sinus or antrum, and sulcus
What are bone markings
Are functional in that they can help join one bone to another, provide a surface for attachments of muscles, or a passageway into the bone for blood vessels and nerves
Cranial Bones
Consists of the frontal bone, two parietal bones, occipital bone, and two temporal bones, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, 6 auditory ossicles and sutural bones
Facial Bones
Consists of two nasal bones, two palatine bones, two maxillary hones, two zygomatic bones, two lacrimal bones, two turbinates, one vomer bone and the mandible (lower jaw)
Axial Skeleton
Includes the facial and cranial bones, spine, torso chest bones, sacrum, coccyx
Appendicular Skeleton
Collar bones, extremities, and pelvis
Highest arch on foot
Medial longitude arch is the biggest. Other two are lateral longitude and transverse arch
Three types of joints
Synarthroses, Amphiarthroses, and Diarthroses (Synovial) Joints
