Skeletal system Flashcards
6 functions of bone and skeletal system
- support
- protection
- assistance in movement
- mineral homeostasis
- blood cell production
- triglyceride storage
4 types of bones
- long bones
- short bones
- flat bones
- irregular bone
Bone that have a greater length than width and consists of a shaft and a variable number of ends
Long bones
Bone that are usually somewhat curved for strength
Long bones
femur, tibia and fibula, humerus, ulna and radius, and phalanges are what type of bone?
Long bone
Bones that are somewhat cube-shaped and nearly equal in length and width
Short bones
Bones that include wrist and ankle bone
Short bones
Bones that are generally thin, afford considerable protection, and provide extensive surfaces for muscle attachment
Flat bones
Cranial bone, sternum, ribs, and scapulae are what type of bone?
Flat bones
Bones that have complex shapes and cannot be grouped into any of the previous categories
Irregular bones
Vertebrae and some facial bone are what type of bone?
Irregular bone
2 types of bone ossification
- intramembranous ossification
- endochondral ossification
4 process of intramembranous ossification
- Development of ossification center
- Calcification
- Formation of trabeculae
- Development of the periosteum
6 process of endochondral ossification
- Development of cartilage model
- Growth of cartilage model
- Development of primary ossification center
- Development of the medullary (marrow) membrane
- Development of secondary ossification center
- Formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate.
Refers to any break in a bone
Fracture
4 types of fraction
- partial
- complete
- closed (simple)
- open (compound)
incomplete break across the bone, such as a crack
Partial
A complete break across the bone; that is, the body is broken into two or more pieces
Complete
The fractured bone does not break through the skin
Closed (simple)
The broken ends of the bone protrude though the skin
Open (compound)
4 steps of repair of a fracture
- Hematoma formulation
- Soft callus formation
- Hard callus formation
- Bone remodeling
_____ has the ability to alter its strength in response to mechanical stress
Bone tissue
When placed under stress, bone tissue become stronger through _____________
Increased deposition of mineral salts and production of collagen fibers
Without _________, bone does not remodel normally because resorption outpaces bone formation
mechanical stress
The ____________ weakens bone through decreased numbers of collagen fibers and demineralization, loss of bone minerals
absence of mechanical stress
(mineral) make bone extracellular matrix hard
calcium and phosphorus
