Lecture 5: Intro to Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Found on bone exterior, strong densely packed with continuous matrix
Compact bone
Connected by trabeculae, lighter in weight than compact bone
Cancellous bone
Main shaft of cortical bone, hollow cylinder filled with yellow marrow (fat)
Diaphysis
Enlarged ends of the bone, mostly spongy, have attatchments for ligaments and tendons, spaces between trabeculae filled with red marrow (formation of blood cellular components
Epiphysis
A tough membrane of dense, irregular, fibrous CT that covers the entire bone except at joint surfaces.
Functions:
-Anchors ligaments and tendons to the bone
-Involved in bone formation & repair
Periosteum
A thin CT membrane that lines the medullary cavity and functions in bone growth & remodeling
Endosteum
Type of joint: Bones are held together very tightly by dense, fibrous CT
Fibrous
Type of joint: Bones held together by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Cartilaginous
Type of joint: Complex, fluid-filled joint structure
Synovial
An immoveable joint (or one with extremely limited ROM)
Synarthrosis
A joint that allows some slight movement, but has no articular cavity or synovial fluid
Amphiarthrosis
A freely moveable joint
Diarthrosis
Sutures of skull
Fibrous synarthrotic
Gomphosis ex. teeth
Fibrous synarthrotic
Syndesmosis ex. radius-ulna or distal tibia-fibula,
Fibrous Amphiarthrotic
