Skeletal System Flashcards
Learn about the skeletal system (bones, joints...)
It supports the body & protect our organs.
Skeletal System
- They contain more than 1 type of tissue, Osseus Tissue.
- Also some cartilage, muscle, nervous, and epithelial tissues.
Bones
It gives strength & structure to bones
Osseus Tissue
Made of “Active connective tissues”, that is constantly breaking down, regenerating, repairing itself - lifetime)
Bones
They store calcium, phosphate, and other minerals.
Bones
BLOOD CELL PRODUCTION and generated in the BONE MARROW
Hematopoesis

This Irregular bone contains 33 individual locking bones that form the spinal column.
Vertebrae
This structure of the bone has a dense, smooth, and modulus external layer.
Cranial/Cortical bone
This structure of the bone has open spaces (honeycomb-like area) & consist of the Trabeculae.
