SKELETAL Flashcards
What are the functions of skeletal system?
Framework of the body Support and attachment Protection/enclosure Movement and locomotion (tendons,ligaments) Storage of minerals ◦ (ca, Phosporus) Production of blood cells.
How many bones do we have? (adult)
206 BONES
T or F
Babies have 300 bones but fused when developed
T
◦ Upper and lower extremities/appendages. ◦ For movement and locomotion
LONG BONES
Study that deals/specialize with bones
Orthopedic medicine
◦ Upper and lower extremities/appendages. ◦ For movement and locomotion
Long Bones
Give examples for long bones
Radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula
◦ Wrists and ankle. ◦ Helps transfers force between long bones
Short Bones
Give examples for short bones
carpal, tarsal, metacarpal, metatarsal, phalanges
◦ Provides enclosure and barrier around soft organs. ◦ Skull, sternum, ribs, scapulae
Flat Bones
Give examples for flat bones
skull, breastbone/sternum, scapula
How many pairs of ribs?
12
How many pairs of ribs (TRUE)
Seven pairs
How many pairs of ribs (FALSE)
five
How many ribs (floating)
two pairs
Protection ◦ Allows bending and flexing ◦ vertebrae
`Irregular Bones ◦
=made up of cancellous
=pores
spongy bone
bone forming cells
Osteoblast
mature bone cells
Osteocytes –
=beginning to develop
=within the connective tissue membrane
=ossification centers
Intramembranous
Inside hyaline cartilage
Endochondral
T or F
Endochondral starts 4th,5th, 6th week (embryonic stage until it is delivered
T
formation of new bones from the embryonic hyaline cartilage.
OSSIFICATION
=process in which bone develops from preexisting hyaline cartilage
=begins around the 6th week of development and continues till about the mid twenties
=includes vertebrae, ribs, sternum, scapula, pelvis, and bones of the limbs
Endochondral Ossification
Laging may blood vessel to provide nourishment/development of blood vessels
Ossification Center
Outermost, covers the bone
=calcium develops here
Periosteum
T or F
Endochondral happens in medullary cavity
T
Dynamic structures Removal of existing bones by osteoclasts Deposition of new bones by osteoblasts For changes of bone shape Calcium ion regulation in body fluids Occurs at the epiphyseal plate To maintain normal blood calcium levels
Bone remodeling
This ruptures the old bones
osteoclast
T or F
Thyroid, endocrine gland also regulate Ca production
T
This engulfs bone cells (phagocytosis) that has been ruptured
Macrophage (in reversal stage)
= remodeling
=producing new bone cells
= minerilazation: Ca, Mg, P
Osteoblast
Stages in the repair of a broken bone:
1) the formation of hematoma at the break ◦
2) the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, ◦
3) the formation of a bony callus ◦
4) remodeling and addition of compact bone.
=mesh work of cotton-like fibers
=hardened connective tissue
Bony callus
Also means blood clot
Hematoma
T or F
Fibrocartilaginous is brought by protein fibrin
T
Totally dislocated (type of bone fracture)
Oblique displaced
twisted (type of bone fracture)
Spiral
at the lateral portion (type of bone fracture)
Greenstick
crushed (type of bone fracture)
Comminuted
