SKELETAL SYSTEM
Bones & Skeletal Tissues
SKELETAL CARTILAGES
contains no nerves or blood vessels; is surrounded by perichondrium - dense, irregular connective tissue that is vascularized. Nutrients diffuse into cartilage. 3 kinds: Hyaline, Elastic, & Fibrocartilage
HYALINE CARTILAGE
most abundant; Includes… articular cartilage; costal cartilage (connects ribs to sternum); respiratory cartilages in the larynx; and nasal cartilage in nose.
*3 Functions: Protection, Support, Resilience
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
found in external ear and epiglottis (flap that covers opening of larynx when swallowing)
*Function: (great) flexibility
FIBROCARTILAGE
located between vertebrae, menisci of knees, and pubic symphysis
*Function: Shock absorption (very strong)
CLASSIFICATION OF BONES
Axial and Appendicular
AXIAL SKELETON
skull, vertebral column, & ribs
APPENDICULAR SKELETON
arms, legs, shoulder girdles (scapula & clavicle), and hip girdles (ilium, ischium, & pubic bone); appendages
SKELETAL FUNCTIONS
1) Support - provides framework
2) Protection - e.g. skull protects brain, vertebra protects spinal cord, ribs protect thoracic organs.
3) Movement - bones used as levers for motion
4) Mineral Storage - bone stores Calcium and Phosphate (inorganic) in intracellular matrix
5) Blood Cell Formation: hematopoiesis occurs in marrow (red)
* Collagen=organic fiber in bone
-GROSS ANATOMY-
see following cards
BONE MARKINGS
sites of attachment to muscles, ligaments, or tendons; also holes in bones where different blood vessels and nerves pass through
COMPACT BONE
outer layer; very dense, smooth, more organized, stronger.
SPONGY BONE
a.k.a. “Cancellous” bone; inner part; usually filled with red or yellow bone marrow; spiky, porous, less organized, contains lots of open space
DIAPHYSIS
shaft of bone; main function in adult bone is muscle attachment; primary ossification center; lots of compact bone; (medullary cavity is the hollow space in the shaft)
EPIPHYSIS
ends of bone; covered with layer of articular (hyaline) cartilage; secondary ossification center; lots of spongy bone.
EPIPHYSEAL LINE
between diaphysis and epiphysis in adults; remnant of epiphyseal plate; bone lengthens from here in children; growth region in length of the long bone
PERIOSTEUM
double layer membrane around long bones, outer layer is fibrous layer, inner layer is osteogenic layer which has osteoblasts (make bone) and osteoclasts (destroy bone); contain lots of blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerve fibers.
FUNCTIONS OF
THE PERIOSTEUM
1) Provides nutrients via blood vessels
2) Innervation
3) Attachment to tendons
ENDOSTEUM
thin connective tissue membrane that lies in the medullary cavity
YELLOW MARROW
substance contained in medullary cavities in adult bones.
RED MARROW
the hemopoietic tissue in the adult is only located in the heads of the humerus and femurs, inside flat bones, and hip bones. In infants, hematopoietic tissue is located in all spongy bone.
-MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY-
see following cards
OSTEON
a.k.a. “Haversian System;” structural unit of compact bone; is parallel with the long axis of bone
