Locomotion Flashcards
name 4 functions of bone
- Structural support
- calcium store
- haematopoesis
- protection
name 3 functions of joints
- facilitate movement
- allow growth
- stability
2 functions of muscles
- Generate movement
- Generate heat
label the structure
bone marrow / inner medulla/ outer cortex
The function of outer bone cortex
dense strong heavey
compact- cortical bone
characteristics of inner medulla
porous/ weak/ lighter
spongy
- trabecular/ cancelous
bone marrow can produce
red/white blood cells
define periosteum
dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bone except for the surface of the joint
the periosteum is innervated what is a disadvantage of this?
can cause extreme pain due in times of fractures etc as there are multiple nerves.
what do nutrient vessels do?
carry blood to/from medullary cavity
Supply bonemarrow/ spongy bone/ deep compact bone.
label the structure:
hyaline
sensory nerve fibre
periosteum
nutrient artery/ vein
lymphatic vessels
what cells carry out ossification/ osteogenesis
osteoblast
what is endochondral ossification
growing of the hyaline cartilage into bone( ossifies)
for the long bone
what are the 3 structures bone has at each END
epiphysis
epiphyseal growth plate
metaphysis
where is diaphysis found in the bone
in the middle of the 2 metaphysis
bone growth ceases when?
when the growth plate of hyaline cartilage ossifies.
name 5 different types of bone and what they do?
- Flat bone: protective- sternum/ neurocarnium
- long bone: tubular- humerus/ femur/ phalanges
- Irregular bone: weird shape- vertebrae
- sesamoid bones: within some tendons- ptella
- shorts bones: cuboidal- carpal/ tarsal
name the 4 parts that make up the axial skeleton
skull/ spine / sternum/ ribs
name the 4 parts the make up the appendicular skeleton
pectoral girdle/ upper limbs/ pelvic girdle/ lower limbs
what is the reason behind the enlargement of vertebrae
they bare more weight
and decrease when weight has been transferred at the hip bone
what curvature of the spine is primary and secondary
thoraxic is primary
cervical/ lumbar is secondary
what emerges through intervertebral foramen
spinal nerves
where does the spinal cord stop
approx- L2
at each level pair of spinal nerves arise from the cord and exit the
intervertebral foramina
