skeletal system Flashcards
bones of the skeleton, joints
skeletal system
for body movement
muscular system
bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments
skeletal system
bones at birth
270 bones
bones at adulthood
206 bones
two divisions of skeletal system
axial and appendicular
vertebral column, rib cage, skull
axial
shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, bones of the upper and lower limbs
appendicular
two or more bones meet
joints
tough elastic tissue around joints
ligaments
connects bone to bone, give support, limits movement
ligaments
connects muscle to bone, fibrous connective tissue
tendons
soft, gel-like padding that protects joints
cartilage
shape, support, protect; highly vascular living structure
bones
compositions of bones
calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate
spongy tissue that makes and stores blood cells
bone marrow
cylindrical structure that is the basic microscopic unit of bones
osteon
consists of lamellae of compact bone tissue
osteon
composed of collagen (very strong and gives bone flexibility)
osteoid
microscopic tubes that contain capillaries and nerve fiber
haversian canals
assist with blood and nerve supply from periosteum to haversian canals
volkmann’s canals
covers the surfaces of the bones except for the cartilage, ligaments, and tendons
periosteum
Formations characteristic of mature bone and take shape during bone remodeling and renewal
osteon
small canal/duct/passageway that channels through in the ossified bone
canaliculus
