into to musculoskeletal system Flashcards
whats an axial and appendicular skeleton
the part of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate.
comprised of the upper and lower extremities, which include the shoulder girdle and pelvis.
what are the 5 functions of bones
- supports
- calcium storage
- protection
- attachement for muscles
- haematopoiesis (formation of blood cell components)
what bones are found in axial skeleton
skull
vertebral column
ribs
sternum
what bones are found in appendicular skeleton
limb bones
clavicle and scapula
pelvis
how does bone structure aid its function
hard connective tissue makes it good for load bearing, movement and protection
how does cartilage structure aid its function
elastic and more flexible so its good for connecting bone to bone and its smoothness means less friction for free movement at joints
what is hyaline cartilage
covers the articular surface and its slippery and smooth which helps your bones move smoothly past each other in your joints
whats fibrocartilage
act as a cushion within joints, where it helps manage compression forces and reduces stress placed on joints.
what does ligament do
connects bone to bone
what are the 5 types of bones
- long bones
- short bones
- sesamoid bones
- flat bones
- irregular bones
give examples of each of the 5 different types of bones
long bones = femur, humerous, phalanx
short bones = carpal tarsal bones
sesamoid bones = embedded in tendon, patella
flat bones = skull and rib bones
irregular bones = maxilla, vertebrae bones, nasal
what are the 3 different sections of a long bone
epiphysis (end)
metaphysis
diaphysis
where are the epiphyseal plates located during bone growth
metaphyseys
define ossification
when cartilage which forms preliminary bones are replaced and calcium is deposited
when do your cuneiform bones begin to develop
ages 1-3
what is trabecular bone
spongy bone
what is perichondrium and its function
Surrounds hyaline and elastic cartilage
Protect bones and cartilage from injury and damage, nourish cartilage through blood vessels, and facilitate cartilage growth
what is periosteum and its function
membrane of blood vessels and nerves that wraps around most of your bones
delivers bones their blood supply and gives them their sense of feeling
protects the bone and is the structure from which blood vessels and nerves enter bone.
what is the medullary cavity
the hollow part of bone that contains bone marrow
what are bone markings
different surfaces that are names to identify attachment sites and where adjacent structures lie
what are the 7 types of bone markings
spine
foramen
fossa
crest
tubercle
ramus
ruberosity
