Skeletal System Part 1 Flashcards
uses of Endochondral Ossification
natural healing of bone fractures
Total Appendicular bones
126
cavity of the shaft that is primarily a storage area for adipose (fat) tissue
Yellow Marrow
the ends of the long bones
Epiphysis
Examples of Flat bones
skull, ribs, sternum
Examples of Long bones
all bones of the limbs except the patella (kneecap) and wrists and ankle bones
They have two thin layers of compact bone sandwiching a layer of spongy bone between them
Flat bones
Examples of irregular bones
vertebrae, hip bones
Gross Structure of a Long bone
Diaphysis
Epiphysis
Epiphysis Line
make up most of bone’s length; composed of compact bone
Diaphysis or shaft
a thin line of decalcified bony tissue spanning the epiphysis in adult bones
Epiphysis line
Functions oF Skeletal System
provides support provides protection for the internal organs allows body movements stores minerals and fat site of blood cell production
Examples of Short bones
wrist and ankles, sesamoid bones (e.g. patella)
A fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers and protects the diaphysis
periosteum
glassy hyaline cartilate that covers external surface of Epiphysis
Articular cartilage
Two membranes that cover the bone
Periosteum
Endosteum
bones that do not fint in any categories
Irregular bones
thinner connective tissue membrane that lines the surface of the medullary cavity
Endosteum
Two types of marrow
red marrow
yellow marrow
Three types of bone cells
Osteocyte
Osteoblast
Osteoclast
consist of blood-forming cells; confined to the cavities of spongy bone or flat bones and the epiphyses of some long bones
Red Marrow
Classification of bones
Long bones
Short bones
Flat bones
Irregular bones
cartilage seen in young, growing bones; cause the lengthwise growth of a long bone
epiphyseal plate
In adults, the cavity of the shaft is medullary cavity or
yellow marrow
