18
Q

axial skeleton

A

consists of bones that lie around the longitudinal axis

19
Q

face (skull)

20
Q

cranuium (skull)

21
Q

hyoid (axial)

22
Q

auditory ossicles (axial)

A

6 bones

-ears (hammer, anvil, stapes)

23
Q

verterbral column (axial)

24
sternum (throax) (axial)
1 bone
25
ribs (thorax) (axial)
24 bones
26
appendicular skeleton
contains the bones of the upper and lower limbs, plus the bones responsible for connecting the limbs to the axial skeleton
27
upper limbs (appendicular)
``` humerus - 2 bones ulna - 2 bones radius - 2 bones carpals - 16 bones metacarpals - 10 bones phalanges - 28 bones ```
28
pelvic girdle (appendicular)
hip, pelvic, and coxal bone - 2 bones
29
lower limb (appendicular)
``` femur - 2 bones fibula - 2 bones tibia - 2 bones patella - 2 bones tarsals - 14 bones metatarsals - 10 bones phalanges - 28 bones ```
30
intramembraneous ossification process
bones form directly within mesenchym arranged in sheet like layers that resemble membranes
31
center of ossification
specific chemical messages cause mesenchymal cells in fibrous connective tissue membranes to cluster and differentiate
32
osteoblasts
secretes the organic matrix of bone until they are completely surrounded by it make bone
33
calcification
the secretion of matrix stops | cells are now called osteocytes
34
formation of trabeculae
the bone matrix develops into trabeculae that fuse with one another spongy bone
35
endochondral ossification
development of cartilage - the process of the replacement of cartilage by bone
36
perichondrium
develops around the cartilage model
37
interstitial growth
growth from within - the cartilage model grows in length by continual cell division
38
appositional growth
growth from the outer surfaces
39
periosteal capillaries
grow into the disintegrating calcified cartilage (periosteal bud)
40
cappilaries
induce growth of a primary ossification center
41
developement of the medullary cavity
as the ossification center enlarges toward the end of the bone, osteoclasts break down the newly formed trabeculae
42
spongy bone
consists of lamellae arranged in an irregular latticework of thin plates of bone the microscopic spaces are filled with red bone marrow hipbones, ribs, breastbone, backbones, skull, and ends of some long bone are the only site of red bone marrow storage in adults
43
compact bone
forms the external layer of all bones provides protection and support made up of a concentric ring structure blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels penetrate compact bone through perforating canals adult compact bone tissue is the only connective tissue that has a basic structural unit associated with it
