skeletal system Flashcards
cartledge types
hyaline
fibrocartledge
elastic cartledge
hyaline cartledge
articular cartledge
coats the endes of bone to protect the ends of bones
streghtn and flexible
fibrocartldge
strong
resist compression
absorb pressure
verterbrae
elastic cartldge
firm but elastic allow stretch and recoil
pina of the ear
fuctions of skeletal system
protection- protect vital organs
provide structural framework by allowing muscle to attach
assit in movement by muscle pull via tendon
mineral homeostasis storage of calcium and phosphate
storage of energy- fat in yellow bone marrow
blood cell production in red bone marrow
axial and appendicular
midline- just skull and trunk
appendicular- girdles e.g pectoral and pelvic
skull bones
frontal, pariteal, temporal, occipical
mandible and maxialla
vertebra seperate
7- cervical
12-thoracic
5- lumber
1 fused sacral
1 fused coccycx
curved spine
2 nirmal anterior- cervical and lumbar
2 normal posterior- thoracic and sacrocygeal
depressions on skull
orbit- eye socket
foramen- bottom of skull
fissure- narrow slit
cannal- optic nerve
fossa- trench
sulcus- groove
bone structure
hard background matrix- osseous tissue
crystallised salt/ collagen/ water
mineral salt intergeates with collagen calcification
collagen
flexibillity
bends out of compression force
organic bone
collagen gives flexibility to resist tear, stretch and twist
inorganic bone-
rigid and hardness allows bone to support withstand compression
diaphysis
bone shaft increase compact bone
