skeletal Flashcards
Consists of axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton
Skeletal System
○ Bones of the head, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
Axial skeleton
Bones of the extremities
Appendicular skeleton
calcified connective tissue consisting of cells, embedded in a matrix of ground substance and collagen fibers
Osteocytes
superficial thin layer; hard part of the bone
Compact bone
a central mass where the compact bone is
Spongy bone -
internal soft tissue, where blood cells are formed
Bone marrow
- Serves as a reservoir for calcium and phosphorous
* Acts as biomechanical levers on which muscles act to produce the movements permitted by joints
Bone
Bone classification accdg to shape
Long Short Flat Irregular Sesamoid
bone classification based on their developmental history
Endochondral
intramembranous
center; bones of chicken we can eat/chew
medullary cavity
outer covering of the bone
Periosteum
center; cancellous bone; where medullary cavity is located; where red blood cells form (bone marrow)
spongy bone
Long Bones?
• Humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, and phalanges
replacement of hyaline cartilage plate
endochondral ossification
forms the shaft (central region) and is composed of a thick tube of compact bone that encloses the marrow cavity
Diaphysis
a part of the diaphysis, the growth zone between the diaphysis and epiphysis during bone development
Metaphysis
expanded articular ends, separated from the shaft by the epiphyseal plate during bone growth and composed of spongy bone surrounded by a thin layer of compact bone
Epiphyses
approximately cuboid-shaped
Short Bones
Short bones?
Carpal and tarsal bone
Flat bones?
Ribs, sternum, scapulae, and bones in the vault of the skull
irregular bones?
bones of the skull, vertebrae, and coxa
Develop in certain tendons and reduce friction on the tendon, thus protecting it from excessive wear.
Sesamoid bones
