HUBS 191 1-15 Flashcards
What are the functions of the skeletal muscle?
Support
Movement
Protection
Storage
Red blood cell formation
What are the two gross structures of the bone and their functions?
Compact - strong, good at transmitting force in one direction
Cancellous - light, spongy bone, shock absorbing, resist and channels forces that come from multiple directions
What is compact bone made of?
Osteons - run in units all the way down the bone structure
What is cancellous bone made of?
Trabecular
What are the 4 different bone classes?
Long
short
flat
irregular
How does a long bone reflect their function?
- Thin diaphysis
- Wide ephysis
- Made up limbs that act as leavers
- transmit force in only one direction - diaphysis - compact
- mostly limb bones
- ephysis - cancellous SA
How does a short bone reflect their function?
equal length and width
mainly cancellous bone as weight bearing from multiple directions
eg carpals and tarpals
How does a flat bone reflect their function?
usually in muscle attachments areas eg scapula
- since flat increase SA for MA eg scapula
Also protection eg skull, sternum
How does a irregular bone reflect their function?
various shapes and functions
often has formania eg pelvis
What does the axial Skelton consist of?
- Bones of the core
- protects vital organs
skull, sternum, ribs, VC, sacrum and coccyx
What does the appendicular skeleton consist of?
Bones of the limbs
most important for movement
Skulls
Bones vault the skull - incase brain
muscle attachment sites for face and neck
join at immovable sutures to allow for growth
Facial bones
protect + support sensory organs
Rib cage
rib attached to sternum via cartilage and vertebrae posteriorly
12 each side
20 attach via costal cartilages
protection of heart and lungs
What is the pectoral girdle?
clavicle connects scapula to axial skeleton
What is the pelvis girdle?
2 hips bones: articulate with sacrum to form pelvis - weigh bearing
Humerus
spherical head forming articulation at shoulder joint and condlye forming articulation at elbow joint
light movement
Femur
Stronger
weight bearing
stability
No pronation or supernation
Hands
8 carpals
5 metacarpals
14 phalanges
Foot
tarsals 7
metasals 5
phalanges 14
Difference in female and male pelvis
female pelvic cavity more circular + pelvic outlet more open
maximises space for child birth
How do bones respond to external force?
Bones remodel and change shape to reflect how you use your skeleton
bone cells respond to trauma to unite broken parts
What is the organic part of bone made up of?
33% of bone matrix is collagen
which is long fibres throughout matrix of bone
What surronds collagen in the organic part of bone?
proteoglycans - ground substance
