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
