5 functions of skeletal system bone
Support Protection Movement Mineral storage Hematopoises
Describe the mineral storage function of the skeletal system
Bone store calcium, phosphorus and other minerals. Hold 99% of bodies calcium
Describe hematopoises is
Formation of blood cells takes place in red bone marrow
5 classificaitons of bone
Long Short Flat Irregular Sesamoid
Describe long bone
Cylindrical, longer Than they are wide, enlarged ends which interact with other bones
All bones are long bone except
knee cap,wrist and ankle bones
Short bones are
Cube or box shaped
Describe flat bone and four examples
Broad and thin with a flattened and often curved surface
Eg. Skull, scapula, ribs, sternum
Describe irregular bones and 3 examples
Often clustered in groups of various shapes and size
Eg. Vertebrate, hip bones, facial bones
Describe sesamoid (round) bones
Sometimes categorized as irregular bones
Number and size can vary among people
Common example is knee cap
6 parts of long bone
Diaphysis (shaft) Epiphyses (ends) Articulate cartilage Periosteum Medullary cavity Endosteum
Describe diaphysis of long bone
Hollow tube, hard compact bone, strong and light
Describe epiphyses of long bone
Contains spongy bone filled with red bone marrow
Provides attachments for muscles and stability for joints
Describe articulations cartilage of long bone
Thin layer that covers each end of the bone, cushions the bone
Describe 4 things for periosteum of long bone
Strong fibrous membrane covering the bone everywhere but the joints
Attaches tendons to bone
So Tanis osteoblasts, osteoclasts and blood vessel
Essential for bone formation and survival
Describe medullary cavity of long bone
Tube like hallow are inside diaphysis
In adults filled with yellow marrow (lots of fat)
Describe endosteum of long bone
Thin fibrous membrane
Lines medullary cavity
Contains various types of bone cells

Flare bones, short bone and irregular bones can have feature similar to _____
Cranial bones
Spaces inside the cancellous bone of short flat irregular and sesamoid bones are filled with _____
