Skeletal System Flashcards
Cartilage
A type of connective tissues that provides a smooth surface for the movement of bones and joints
Calcium
A mineral needed for healthy teeth, bones, and other body tissues
Cartilage
To provide a smooth surface for the bones to move over
Compact Bone
Hard, dense, outer layer of the bone
Spongey Bone
Smooth and soft inner tissue of the compact bone
Osteoporosis
A disease which bones lose mass and become more fragile
How many muscle tissues are there in the human body?
Three
Ligament
Fibrous connective tissue that is on the ends of bones
Aerobic
With oxygen
Anaerobic
Without oxygen
Osteoarthritis
Occurs when the cartilage at the ends of bones breaks down
Arthritis
painful inflammation
Ball and Socket
Shoulders and Hips
Hinge
Designed to only move back and forth in one movement
Finger and elbow
Joint
A place where two or more bones meet
Smooth
Digestive system and blood vessels, involuntary
Like squeezing above your arms and hand becomes pale
Skeletal
The ones you can control, voluntary we move our skeletal system when exercising
Contraction
The muscle becomes shorter and tighter
Flexion
The muscle becomes smaller
Fracture
Caused by excess stress bending on the bone
Partly moveable joint
Allow very limited movement. The bones are held by cartilage
Ribs
Moveable Joint
allows the greatest movement and are connected by ligaments
Knuckle
Hand Joint
Sprain
The result of a rench or twist in the ligaments
Fixed Joints
Do not allow the bone to move at all. Bounded by collagen
Involuntary Muscle
Controls without conscious control
Voluntary muscle
Contracts and relaxes under conscious control
Cardiac Muscle
The ones you can control, involuntary an arbitrary on our temples
Pivot
Permit movement under a single axis
Growth Plates
The areas of new growth
Skeleten System Supports:
- Protecting iNternal organs
- Maintaining Homeostasis
- Producing blood cells
- Providing attachment surfaces for muscles
- Storing minerals
Periosteum
A fibrous sheath that covers the bones
