Skeletal System L3 Flashcards
Human skeleton consists of
206 bones
Bone is a
A hard type of connective tissue which forms the skeleton
What are the functions of bone?
1-Support
2-Protect internal organs
3-Movement
4-Mineral storage
5-Blood Cell Formation
(Hematopoiesis)
According to the microscopic structure
1-Compact
2-Spongy cancellous bone
Classifications Of Bones
According to development
Membranous ossification
Cartilaginous ossification
Consists of a honeycomb of small flat pieces
Spongy cancellous bone
The flat pieces filled
with bone marrow is
trabeculae
The process of bone tissue formation
Ossification
The mesenchymal tissue
membrane will directly
transform into bone in which kind of Ossifications
Membranous
An example of Membranous ossification
bones of the vault of
skull and clavicle
A hyaline cartilage model will be
ossified into bone
Cartilaginous ossification
Examples for Cartilaginous ossification
long bones, bones of
the base of skull, irregular bones
like vertebrae
Classifications Of Bones
According to the shape of
bones
Long/ short
Flat
Seasamoid
Irregular
Pneumatic
Femur and humerus is an example for which classification of bones according to it’s shape
Long
Carpal bones and tarsal bones
is an example for which classification of bones according to it’s shape
Short bones
vault of skull,ribs, sternum is an example for which bone according to it’s shape
Flat
Vertebrae and hip bone is an example for which bone according to it’s shape
Irregular
Patella is an example for which bone according to it’s shape
Sesamoid
Frontal, maxilla, sphenoid and ethmoid is an example for which bone according to it’s shape
Pneumatic
The long bone structure consists of
Diaphysis (shaft)
Epiphysis (End)
Nutrient arteries
Articular cartilage
Medullary cavity
Epiphyseal plate
Which part of the bone is Composed of compact bone
Diaphysis
Which part of the bone is composed mostly of spongy bone
Epiphysis
The junction of diaphysis and epiphysis is called
Metaphysis
What Covers the external surface of the epiphysis
Articular cartilage
Articular cartilage is made of
Hyaline cartilage
