Part 5 - The Skeletal System 1 Flashcards
Associated with ligaments, tendons and cartilages
Skeletal sys
Function of skeletal sys
1 support 2 protection 3 movement 4 mineral storage 5 hematopoiesis
Framework that supports the whole body and its soft organs
Support
Protection for delicate organs like heart, lungs and brain
Protection
Acts as a levers for muscles
Movement
Reservoir for mineral and adipose tissue
Mineral storage
Blood cell production
Hematopoiesis
Bone cells (3)
1 osteoblast
2 osteocytes
3 osteoclasts
Bone building cells, initiaties the process of calcification
Osteoblast
Found in periosteum and endosteum
Osteoblast
Preserves the mature bone cell
Osteocytes
Osteoblasts that have become trapped by the secretion of matrix
Osteocytes
No longer secretes matrix
Osteocyte
Responsible for maintaing bone tissue
Osteocyte
Huge cells derive from the fussion of as many monocytes
Osteoclast
How many monocytes fussed
50 monocytes
Cells that digest bone matrix
Osteoclast
It is concentrated in endosteum
Osteoclast
Outer covering
Periosteum
Inner covering
Endosteum
2 bone structure(divisions)
1 compact bone/cortical
2 spongy bone/cancellous
Dense, solid outer layer
Compact bone
