Musco-skeletal system Flashcards
Muscoskeletal system function
aid body in movement, form, and stability
5 main functions
- movement
- structural support
- organ protection
- blood cell production
5 storage of minerals
organs
bones
joints
tissues
tendons
ligaments
cartilage
muscle
4 bones types
long bone, found in arms and legs, work as levers for movement
short bone, wrists and ankles, cube shaped
flat bone, ribs, shoulder blade, breast bone, skull bone
irregular bone, spine
bones 3 main parts
spongy bone: porous, red bone marrow, end f the bones, produces red blood cells, light weigh, shock absorber
bone marrow: center of bone, soft fatty tissue (red/yellow colour) , stores fat to convert to energy, makes all blood contents
(marrow and vessels fill cavities ibn bones that store fat, and stem cells that produce blood cells)
compact bone: sturdy layer, dense and makes up 80% of human skeleton, protective shell around spongy bone tissue
rigid strength and resistance, stores and releases calcium, bones stay compact while still receiving nutrients and disposing of waste, made of osteon
cells that keep bone tissue as they control the mineral and calcium contents
ostyocytes
are bones constantly re building
yes
cells that create bone tissue
ostyoblast
cells that break down old bone tissue
ostyoclast
joints
2 or more bones meet to allow movement
made of bones, cartilage ligaments, and (synovium)
bear weight and move body through space
types of joints
fiborus - dont move
cartaliginous - dont move
synovial joints - space between the 2 bones
held together by connective tissue
skull, jaw teeth, dont move
fibrous
bones are connected by cartilage, and little movement
epiphyseal plates n growing children
cartaliginous
grinding movements and limited range of motion
carpal bones, tarsal bones (feet), in between vertebras
planer jonts
one bone moves, one is stationary
elbow and knees
hinge joints
