Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
This provides stable framework
Strong bones
Provides firm yet flexible support
Cartilage
Storng bands of connective tissue that link bones
Ligaments
These are substances in the blood that are taken into bone and stored
Minerals
Skeletal muscles attach to bones through
Tendons
This allows movement between bones
Joints
Many bone contains cavities filled with this which gives rise to blood cell and okatelet formation
Red bone marrow
This is another term for hematopoiesis
Hematogenesis
Ecm of bone
Collagen
Minerals
Ecm of cartilage
Collagen
Proteoglycans
Ecm of ligaments
High in collagen
Ecm of tendon
High in collagen
Tough rope like proteins
Collagen
Polysaccharides attached to proteins
Proteoglycan
Mineral in bone that is in the form of caclium phosphate crystals
Hydroxyapatite
Classificaiton of bones
Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
This are bones that is lengthy usually found un limbs
Long bones
This type of bones are usually found in hands and feets
Short bones
This are thin and flattened bones
Flat bones
These ar ebones that are not assigned to other categories
Irregular bones
Bone forming cells
Osteoblast
Osteoblast with matrix
Osteocytes
Bone destroying cells
Osteoblast
When an osteoblast becomes completely surrounded by bone matrix it becomes a mature bone cell
Bone ossification
Two forms of bone ossification
Intramembranous and endochondral
Ossification occurs within connective tissue membrane
Intramembranous
Ossification occurs inside cartilages
Endochondral
Two types of cartilage growth
Appositional and interstitial
Chondroblast in the perichondrium add new cartilage to the outside edg of thee xisting cartilage
Appositional
Chondrocytes within the tissue divide and add more matrix between the existing cell
Insterstitial growth
Bone sonly increases in size through what type of growth?
Appositional
Bone growth occurs at
Epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal plate closes at what age
12-25
Zones in bone growth
Resting cartilage
Proliferation
Hypertrophy
Calcification
This is cause by increase in thickness or size because of the appositional bone growth beneath periosteum
Bone growth in width
Factors affecting bone growth
Nutrition and hromones
These are important for bone mineralization
Minerals and phosphates
Necessary for normal absorption of calcium from the intestines
Vitamin D
