Lecture 7 Flashcards
Articulation
Where bones come together/meet (allows movement)
Connective tissue in skeletal system
Ligaments, red blood cells
Functions of skeletal system
Support, protection, storage of calcium (minerals), storage of lipid (yellow bone marrow), blood cell production (red bone marrow), movement.
Long bones store
Lipids (yellow bone marrow) and Calcium
Red bone marrow
Produces all of our blood cells (red, white, platelets)
Flat bones
Sternum, skill cap, scapula, shoulder blades
Short bones
Carpols (as long as wide)
Irregular bones
Vertebrae

Patella (looks like sesame seed)

Where tendons and ligaments attach or articulations with other bones
Tunnels in bones
Where nerves/blood enters the bone

Sulcus
Groove
