SKELETAL SYSTEM Flashcards
contains collegen, ground substance, and other organic molecules, as well as water and minerals.
EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
(↑) collagen, (+) proteoglycans but less than that of the cartilage, (↑) hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate crystals)
Bones
(↑) collagen, (↑) proteoglycans; tough & resilient.
Cartilage
(↑) collagen fibers; tough.
Tendons & Ligaments
2 TYPES OF PROTEIN
COLLAGEN & PROTEOGLYCANS
(35% organic and 65% inorganic material)
- Collagen - flexible strength
- Minerals - weight bearing strength
BONE MATRIX
PLAYS AS A ROLE IN REPAIR AND REMODELING OF THE BONE
OSTEOBLASTS
- MAINTAIN BONE MATRIX; BECOME SURROUNDED BY MATRIX
-RELATIVELY INACTIVE
OSTEOCYTES
-BONE DESTROYING CLLES
-CONTRIBUTE TO BONE REPAIR AND REMODELING BY REMOVING EXISTING BONE, CALLED RESORPTION
OSTEOCLASTS
FOR MOVEMENT OF APPENDAGES
LONG BONE
-HELP TRANSFER FORCE BETWEEN LONG BONE
-BONES OF WRIST AND ANKLE
SHORT BONES
-WELL-SUITED TO PROVIDING A STRONGER BARRIER AROUND SOFT TISSUES
-SKULL BONES, RIBS, SCAPULA, STERNUM
FLAT BONES
TEND TO HAVE SPECIALIZED FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS PROVIDING PROTECTION WHILE ALLOWING BENDING AND FLEXING OF CERTAIN BODY REGIONS
IRREGULAR BONES
CENTRAL SHAFT OF THE BONE
DIAPHYSIS
END OF THE BONE; SEPERATED FROM THE REAMINDER OF THE BONE BY THE EPIPHYSEAL PLATE/LINE
