Skeletal system notes from class Flashcards
what are the 6 fxns of the skeletal system
support and shape
movement
protection
storage of minerals
storage of lipids
blood cell production
where does movement occur
at joints
what bones are involved in protection
cranium of brain
ribcage of internal organs
how much of bone is inorganic salts
about 2/3
how much of the bodys Ca++ is in bone
about 99 %
what si phosphate needed for
energy
component of nucleic acid
modulating protein activity
what is calcium needed for
keeping bones hard
nervous impulses
muscle contraction
clotting
where are lipids stored
in the shaft of the bone, whcih is hollow
what is the shaft of a bone filled with
yellow bone marrow/fat
what is hemopoiesis
the formation of all red blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelets
where is red bone marrow located
at the epiphyses of long bones
body of vertebrae
where is yellow bone marrow loacted
diaphysis/ shaft of bones
what does calcitonin do
puts calcium in the bones
what does parathyroid hormone do
obtain calcium by degrading bone
how may named bones are there
206
what are the 3 cartilages
hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic cartilage
where is hyaline cartilage found
nose
ends of bones
ribs
where is fibrocartilage found
intervertebral disc
pubic symphysis
where is elastic cartilage found
auricle
epigoitis (flap of pharynx)
what cartilage is tougher
fibrocartilage
what cartilage has more collagen fibers…. which has more elastic ?…. which is the most common?
fibrocartilage has more collagen
elastic cartilagee has more elastic fibers
hyaline cartilage is the most common form
what are articular discs
flat bands of fibrocartilage
what do tendons do
connect bone to muscle
stability/movement
what do ligaments do
connect bone to bone
stability
what are the 3 main parts of the axial skeleton
skull, vertebrae, tharacic cage
what are the 4 main parts of the appendicular skeleton
pectoral girdle, upper apendage, pelvic girdle, lower apendage
how is compact bone organized
into parallel osteons/haversian systems
how does compact bond increase strength
it is layered up and down
it can withstand compression
how are osteons arranged in spongy bone
irregularly
what are the 6 histology portions of compact bone
haversian systems
haversian canal
lamellae
osteocytes within lacunae
canaliculi
perforating/volkmanns canal
what are hvaersian canals
openings in the center of compact bone
does spongy bone have haversian canals
no
what are lamellae
layers of Ca++ salts
what are osteocytes
bone cells
what are lacunae
small gaps in bone tissue
what are canaliculi
little tunnels between lacunae
where do canaliculi open in compact bone
to the haversian canal
what is the perforating/volkmanns canal
the entrance point for blood vessels/nerves
they look horizontal
where is spongy bone found
at epiphyses between layers of compact bone
what are the 5 main histology parts of spongy bone
trabeculae
lamellae
osteocytes with lacunae
canaliculi
red bone marrow
what is trabeculae
thin plates of bone
what do canaliculi open to in spongy bone
they connect lacunae and open to outside of the trabeculae
where is red bone marrow found in spongy bone
filling the spaces
what makes each trabeculae
a single osteon
ahat are the layers of bone
periosteum
endosteum
medullary cavity
wher is periosteum
superficial
where is endosteum
deeper than periosteum
what are the layers of periosteum
fibrous later - dense, irreg Ct,
cellular layer- osteogenic cells and osteoclasts
what is the fibrous layer of periosteum continuous with
tendon
what do osteogenic cells do
build new bone
what layers are in endosteum
cellular layer only
osteogenic and osteoclast cells
what is the medullary cavity
the holllowed area found in the middle of the diaphysis
what does the medullary cavity store
lipids/fats
what are the 4 bone cell types
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoblasts
osteocytes
osteoclasts
how much of bone tissue is made up of bone cells
about 2 %
where do osteoprogenitor cells form from
mesoderm
what do osteoblasts do
osteogenesis
what are osteocytes
mature bone cells
involved in bone maintenacne
what do osteoclasts do
break down bone
