Soto - skeletal system Flashcards
fFunctions of the skeletal system
-provide a framework to support the body’s systems
-provide an attachment for muscles
-enclose and protect vital organs
-manufacture blood cells
-store calcium &phoshorus… vital for metabolism
bone
The hard framework
What does Vitamin D do
helps it use calcium so that it hardens properly
(bone is a living and stable organism)
Sinus
a cavity in the interior of bone it is lined with mucous and filled with air
**1. how many bones are in the skeletal system
2. what are the two groups called
3. how many bones are in each group
1.* 206*
2. Axial-basic framework-80 bones
3. Appendicular-the extremities-126 bones
Axial Skeleton
Skull-Verbal Column-Thorax
Skull
- Cranial bones surround and protect the brain
***2. Frontal - Parietal
- Temporal
- Occipital***
Frontal
The forehead
Parietal
The Roof
Temporal
- The sides
- Interacts with the lower jaw mandible
cartilage
tissue with less calcium than bone
ligament
tissue connecting* bone to bone* at the joints
Tendon
Tissue muscle to bone
Diaphysis
the shaft or main central portion
Epiphysis
the ends covered in cartliage (lubericant)
Marrow
lies within the diaphisis produces red&white blood cells and platelets
Periosteum
a membrane covering the bone with blood vessels and nerves…. growth and repair of bone begins here…. tendons attach to periosteum
Occipital
The back… contains the Foramen Magnum (a hole that allows the brain to attach to the spinal cord)
Maxilla
The Upper Jaw
Vertebral Column
- The main Axis of the Body
- Rigid yet Flexible
- It Incloses and Protects the Spinal Cord
- Its Curved Shape serves as a Shock Protector
- Between the Cartilage are Discs made of cartilage
- Ligaments hold the Vetebrae in place
Cervical
The 7 Neck Vertebrae
Thoracic
The 12 Chest Vertabrae Supporting the RIBS
