Skeletal Biology 1 Flashcards
ethics in skeletal biology
- anthropometry and craniometry
- contribution to scientific racism
- questionable acquisition of human skeletal remains
- ethics of research and teaching
ethical responsibilities of skeletal research
- respect for human dignity
- descendant rights
- the preservation ethic
- laboratory codes of conduct
Musculoskeletal system; structural
- support
- protection
Musculoskeletal system; physiological
metabolic
osteogenic
stem cell
components of bone
- cells
- fibres; collagen
- mineralized tissue; hydroxyapatite
osteoblast
bone forming
osteoclast
bone eating
osteocyte
bone cell
osteon (haversian system)
- communciation, nutrition
- bone cells within concentric layers
remodeling bone tissue
- growth and development
- maintenance
- etraction of nutrients
- response to stimuli
two types of bone
- woven bone
- lameliar bone
woven bone
formed when there is very rapid new bone formation, as occurs in the repair of a fracture
lameller bone
- corticaal/compact; periosyeum/endosteum
- cancellous/ spoungy/ trabucelar
- medullary cavity; bone marrow
joints
- bones connect to each other
- elastic cartilage; most flexible (ex. ear)
- hyaline cartilafe; 2nd most flexible (ex. nose)
- fibro-cartilage; least flexible (ex knee)
fibrous joints
- not moveable
- sutures
- syndesmosis
- gomphosis
cartilaginous joints
- slightly moveable
- symphysis
- synchondrosis
synovial joints
- highly moveable
- joiny capsule
movement
bone supports; ligaments, tendons
regions of the skeleton
- 206 bones divided into 2 regions
- axial skeleton
- appendicular skeleton
axial skeleton
The bones in the head, neck, back, and chest, which form the body’s vertical axis
- skull
- vertebral column
- rib cage
- sternum
appendicular skeleton
The bones in the shoulders, pelvis, and limbs, which attach to the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton enables the body to move
- bones in upper/lower limbs (arms hands legs feet)
anatomical orientation
- anterior (front)/posterior (back), dorsal/ventral
- lateral (left or right)/medial (midline of body/head)
- superior (towards head end of body; upper) /inferior (away from head end of the body; lower)
- proximal (nearest center of body) /distal (further away from center of body)
types of bones
- 4 types
- long bones
- short bones
- flat bones
- irregular bones
- sesamoid and sutural bones can vary between individuals
how to tell different bones apart
- projections
- depressions, fossae, and grooves
- foramina and canals
