Skeletal System Flashcards
red bone marrow is located in
spongy osseus tissue
function of skeleton system
support
movement
protection
storage of minerals (hydroxyapatite)
storage of fat (adipose)
hematopoiesis
minerals stored in bones
calcium and phosphorus
bone formation
ossification
Irregular layer of spongy bone
trabeculae
bones division
25% water
25% collagen
50% mineral salts
type of bones as to formation
membrane or dermal bone
endochondral or cartilage bone
bone that start from connective tissue
membrane or dermal bone (e.g. fontanelles)
bones that start from cartilage
endochondral or cartilage bone
4 types of cells from osteons
osteoprogenitor
osteoblast
osteocytes
osteoclast
most immature bone cells
osteoprogenitor
mature and differentiated osteoprogenitor
osteoblast
macrophages; digest bone tissue (bone resorption)
osteoclast
keystone of cranial floor
sphenoid
smallest cranial bone
ethmoid
technical term for thumbs
pollex
technical term for big toe
hallux
type of bones as to location
exoskeleton
endoskeleton
provides a firm structure that allows the muscular system to accomplish its primary function, generation of body movement.
skeletal system
function of skeletal system that allows the movement by muscular contraction
support
Movement is only possible when force is applied against this firm structure
skeleton
three types of skeleton in animals
hydroskeleton
rigid exoskeleton
rigid endoskeletons
consist of a volume of incompressible fluid (water) enclosed in a body cavity that surrounded by muscles
hydroskeleton
some invertebrates such as mollusk possess these as their skeletal support
cartilage
