Osteology and Arthro Flashcards
ttrfrtdefine osteology
the study of bones
define athrology
science of anatomy, function, dysfunction, treatment of the bones
what are the functions of the skeleton
-supporting framework for the body
-protection for vital organs
-blood cell formation (bone marrow)
-mineral storage (calcium and phosphorus)
-attach points for muscles
-bone is plastic (mendable and placidity in bones)
what is the origin and insertion
origin: attach site to the muscle that doesn’t move
Insertion: attach site that does move with the muscle
give an example of the origin and insertion
arm:
scapula acts as origin
belly is the biceps of brachii
insertion is radius
what is the belly
muscle that joins to the origin and insertion
what is spongy bone
-contains red bone marrow
-is on outside of bone (protective layer)
-very porous
what is the difference between red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow
red bone marrow
-stem cells that can become white or red blood cells or platelets
yellow bone marrow
-mostly made of fat with stem cells that can become cartilage, fat, or bone cells
what is the medullary cavity
-hallow part of the bone in diaphysis (shaft of bone)
-bone marrow
-makes blood cells and stores fat
-turns into yellow bone marrow in adult hood
-not found in flat bones
what is the periosteum
-membrane of blood vessels and nerves that wraps around the bone
-is the blood supply for the bone
-gives bone some feeling
what is the distal epiphysis
-growth plate
-longitude growth at the end
-70% of where growth happens in the femur
what is the epiphyseal line
-at the top of the bone
-is the growth plate
what are octyeocytes
-compact calcium that has turned to bone
what is the matrix
-nutrients that surrounds the bone
-counteracts added stress (adds protection)
what is the matrix made up of
-25% water
-25% protein (collagen)
-50% mineral salts (calcium phosphate/carbonate)
describe in one word, what happens to adults bone as they grow with physical activity
-denser
-more minelerized
-adding more layer of protection
what bones are in the skull part of the axial Skelton
(skull)
-cranium (8)
-face (14)
-auditory ossieles (6)
-hyoid (throat) (1)
what bones are in the vertebrae part of the axial skeleton
nothing just the vertebrae (26)
what bones are in the thorax part of the axial skeleton
-sternum (1)
-ribs (24)
how many bones total are there in the axial skeleton
80 bones
what bones are in the upper appendicular Skeleton
-shoulder girdle (4)
-arms and hands (60)
what bones are in the lower appendicular skeleton
-pelvic girdle (2)
-legs and feet (60)
how many bone in total in the appendicular skeleton
126 bones
long bones
longer than wide
short bones
wider than longer
flat bones
flat and broad surface
irregular bones
bones that are complex shape that they don’t fit a category
