LESSON 04 SKELETAL Flashcards
Framework of hard structures which supports and protects the soft tissues of anomals
Skeletal system
Function of skeleton
- support the body
- layers of locomotion
- protect soft parts

Classification of bones according to shape
- long bones (femur, humerus)
- short bones (Carpals and tarsal)
- flat bones ( scapula, skull, pelvis)
- irregular bonez (vertebrae)
It is the type of bone that is longer than wide and has straight primary ossification centers
Long bones (1 diaphysis and 2 epiphyses)
Aberrant long bones
It is a type of bone that is cube shaped and has one center of ossification
Short bones (carpals and tarsal)
It is a type of bone that has two plates of compact bone and separated by cancellous bone
Flat (scapula, pelvis, skull)
It is a type of bone that has no uniformity in development
Irregular bones (vertebrae)
This are bones, which are developed in tendons to afford increased leverage
example Patella
Sesamoids
What are the two types of bone structure?
- Compact bones or dense
- Spongy or cancellous
It is a structure of bones which forms the outer shell of all skeletal parts
Compact or dense bone
It is a structure of bones that is small central canal has irregularities for muscle and ligament
Cortex
This is structure of bones that is in inner surface of shaft and also it is called the “Diploe” in skull bones
Medullary cavity
What are the two types of marrow?
Red Morrow
Yellow marrow
It is a type of Marrow that is highly vascularized gelatinous tissue and produce (hematopoiesis) in young animals
