Review Chapter 6 Flashcards
Articular cartilage
Made of hyaline cartilidge
Bone classification
Type- example Long-femur Short- carpus Flat- ribs Irregular- vertebrae
Cleft palate
Occurs when the maxillae fail to unite
Diaphysis
Shaft of bone
Endochondral ossification
Forms most bones ( with hyaline)
Epiphyseal plate
where bone growth occurs in a long bone
Epiphysis
Enlarged end of long bones
Female versus male
Female are lighter, less prominent markings, smaller ends, and a wider shallower pelvis
Fontanels
Soft spots in the cranium of babies
Intramembranous ossification
Bone forms directly with membrane(like sheets)
Ossification
Process by which bone forms
Osteoarthritis
Degeneration of articular cartilage so the bones ends touch
Osteoporosis
A bone disorder that occurs when bone destruction outpaces bone formation
Pectoral girdle
Clavicle and scapula
Pelvic girdle
Ilium, ischium, pubis
Periosteum
Membranous outer covering of a long bone
Rheumatoid arthritis
Autoimmune disease in which a persons antibodies attack the joints
Scoliosis
Condition resulting in a sideways spine
Skeletal system functions
Support, protection, movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, and fat storage(yellow marrow)
Suture
Immovable joint in the skull formed where skull bones fuse together
True ribs/false ribs
7 ribs connected to sternum and the rest
Vertebral column sections
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, (sacrum, coccyx)
Yellow bone marrow
Adipose cells,energy reserve
Aging of skeleton
Bones become brittle, lose calcium, lose mass, decrease collagen fiber production
