Lesson 8 Flashcards
What does the skeletal system include?
206 bones, cartilage, ligaments, connective tissues
five primary functions of skeet’s system
- support
- storage of minerals and lipids
- blood cell production
- protection
- leverage(force of motion)
what are bones classified by
shape, bone markings, internal tissue organization
what are the 6 bone shapes
- sutural
- irregular
- short
- long
- flat
- sesamoid
what bones are small, irregular, and found between the flat bones of the skull?
sutural bones
what are examples of irregular bones with complex shapes?
spinal vertebrae, pelvic bones, some skull bones
what are examples of short bones that are small and thick?
ankle and wrist bones(tarsals)
what are examples of flat bones with thins and parallel surfaces?
roof of skull, sternum, ribs, scapulae
what are examples of long bones that are long and thin?
arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes
what are examples of sesamoid bones that are small and flat and shaped like sesame seeds?
develop in tendons near joints of knees, hands, feet
patella(kneecap)
what bones account for disparities in total number of bones?
sutural and sesamoid
what are these bone markings for: depressions, groves, tunnels along the surface
blood and nerves lie alongside and penetrate into bones
what are these bone markings for: elevations or projections?
tendons and ligaments attach, articulations with other bones occur
what is the structure of a long bone?
diaphysis, epiphysis, metaphysis
what is the tubular shaft of the bone that consists of compact bone and a medullary cavity?
diaphysis
what are the wide ends of long bones that consist of spongy bone covered with compact bone?
epiphysis
where do the epiphysis and diaphysis meet on long bones?
metaphysis
Which bone resembles a sandwich of spongy bone between two layers of compact bone?
flat bone
in the cranium, what is the layer of spongy bone between the compact bone?
diploë
This bone contains red bone marrow in spongy bone, but had no medullary cavity unlike long bones
flat bone
what is bone(osseous) tissue?
dense, supportive connective tissue that contains specialized cells and produces solid matrix of calcium salt deposits called collagen fibers
BONE TISSUE: had a dense matrix containing?
deposits of calcium salts, osteocytes within lucunae
BONE TISSUE: what are osteocytes organized around blood vessels and connected to other osteocytes by?
gap junctions
BONE TISSUE: what are canaliculi?
small canals that connect lacunae to each other and to blood vessels of the central canal
