Skeletal System Flashcards
Axial
Bones found along your bodies vertical axis, most common
Groups of bones
Axial and appendicular
Osteoblasts
Cells that create the bone substance
Stereotypical bone shape, limb bones
Long Bones
Bone shape found in your finger
Short Bones
Cells that create the bone substance
Osteoblasts
Axial and appendicular
Groups of bones
Bone marrow that makes blood cells
Red Bone Marrow
Osteoclasts
Cells that break down harmed pieces of bone
Biggest bone
Femur
Bone shapes
Long, short, flat, irregular
Bone marrow that stores energy like fat
Yellow Marrow
Cells that monitor the bone substance
Osteocytes
Thin and flat bone shaped, includes scapula
Flat bones
Types of bone cells
Osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts
Types of bone marrow
Red and yellow
Cell death of the osteoclasts
Apoptosis
Osteocytes
Cells that monitor the bone substance
Short Bones
Bone shape found in your finger
Long Bones
Stereotypical bone shape, limb bones
Long, short, flat, irregular
Bone shapes
Yellow Marrow
Bone marrow that stores energy like fat
Cells that break down harmed pieces of bone
Osteoclasts
Bone remodeling
Repairment of bone
Flat bones
Thin and flat bone shaped, includes scapula
Bones like ribcages, skull, or pelvis
Irregular bones
Repairment of bone
Bone remodeling
Steps of bone modelling
- Osteocytes detect fracture and release chemical signals
- Osteoclasts go on the site and destroy the bone material and secretes it back into the blood (Resorption)
- Osteoclasts call the osteoblasts to rebuild bone tissue and then go through apoptosis
Mostly comprised of limbs and bones that help us move
Appendicular
How much bones does the skeletal system have
206
Red Bone Marrow
Bone marrow that makes blood cells
Apoptosis
Cell death of the osteoclasts
Appendicular
Mostly comprised of limbs and bones that help us move
Smallest bone
Stapes
