Skeletal System Flashcards
Skeletal System Function
Support
Protection
Movement
Storage
Blood cell production (hematopoiesis)
Rigid strong bones – for bearing weight and is the major supporting tissue of the body. Cartilage – provides a firm yet flexible support within certain structures (ex. nose and
external ears).
Ligaments – are strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to bone and hold them together.
Support
for bearing weight and is the major supporting tissue of the body.
Rigid strong bones
– are strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to bone and hold them together.
Ligaments
The hardness of the bone contributes to its ability to protect the vital organs of the body from injury (ex.cranial bones protect the brain).
Protection
Skeletal muscles attach to bones by tendons. When muscles contract, they pull on bones and together they produce movement.
Movement
When muscles —- , they pull on bones and together they produce movement.
contract
Fat is stored in the internal cavities of bones.
Stores several minerals especially calcium and phosphorus.
Important in maintaining homeostasis of minerals in the blood with minerals stored in the
bone are released in response to body’s demand.
Storage
is stored in the internal cavities of bones.
Fat
Many bones contain cavities filled with bone marrow that gives rise to blood cells and platelets.

The study of bone structure and treatment of bone disorder.
OSTEOLOGY
It refers to the formation of bone by osteoblast.
BONE OSSIFICATION (OSTEOGENESIS)
BONE OSSIFICATION
(OSTEOGENESIS)
TWO TYPES BONE OSSIFICATION (OSTEOGENESIS)
Intramembranous Ossification
Endochondral Ossification
A process of bone development from fibrous membrane.
It is involved in the formation of the flat bones of the skull, the mandible and clavicles.
Intramembranous Ossification
Bones involved in Intramembranous Ossification
flat bones of the skull, the mandible and clavicles.
A process of bone development from hyaline cartilage.
All of the bones of the body, except for the flat bones of the skull, mandible and clavicles
are formed.
Endochondral Ossification
is secreted within the fibrous membrane.
Bone matrix (osteoid)
• begin to secrete osteold, which is mineralized within a few days.
Osteoblasts
• Trapped osteoblasts become —.
osteocytes
An — appears in the fibrous connective tissue membrane.
• Selected centraily located mesenchymal cells cluster and differentiate into osteoblasts, forming an —-.
ossification center
Accumulating osteoid is laid down between embryonic blood vessels, which form a random network. The result is a —-.
network (instead of lamellae) of trabeculae
• Vascularized mesenchyme condenses on the external face of the —- and becomes the ——.
woven bone, periosteum
just deep to the periosteum thicken, forming a woven bone collar that is later replaced with mature lamellar bone.
Trabeculae
• consisting of distinct trabeculae, persists internally and its vascular tissue becomes red marrow.
Spongy bone (diploë),
Bone growth occur by:
Appositional Growth
Endochondral Growth
It refers to the formation of new bone on the surface of existing bone.
Appositional Growth
results as osteoblasts deposit new bone matrix on the surface of bones between the periosteum and the existing bone matrix.
Responsible for the increase in width or diameter of long bones and most growth of other
bones.
Appositional growth
Osteoblasts beneath the periosteum secrete bone matrix, forming ridges that follow the course of periosteal blood vessels.
As the bony ridges enlarge and meet, the groove containing the blood vessel becomes a tunnel.
The periosteum lining the tunnel is transformed into an endosteum and the osteoblasts just deep to the tunnel endosteum secrete bone matrix, narrowing the canal.
As the osteoblasts beneath the endosteum form new lamellae, a new osteon is created.
Meanwhile new circumferential lamellae are elaborated beneath the periosteum and the process is repeated, continuing to enlarge bone diameter.
Appositional Growth
It refers to the growth of cartilage in the epiphyseal plate and its eventual replacement by bone.
Endochondral Growth
Responsible for the increase in the length of the bone.
Bones continue to grow in length until early childhood, the rate of growth is controlled by
hormones.
