25
nutrient foramen
on surface of bone where blood vessels enter and leave
26
perforating canal
canal perpendicular to the central canal carries blood vessels and nerves
27
canaliculi
tiny canals radiate from central canal to lacunae form transparent system connecting all bone cells to nutrient supply
28
Bone formation
ossification intramembranous ossification endochondral ossification bone growth appositional growth
29
ossification
bone formation calicification of bone
30
intramembranous ossification
begins as fibrous sheet produces flat bones
31
endochondral ossification
bone develops from hyaline cartilage model six weeks fetal development to early 20s most bones develop this way
32
bone growth
epiphyseal plates allow for longitudinal growth of long bones during childhood new cartilage is continuously formed older cartilage becomes ossified epiphyseal plate ossifys then growth stops
33
appositional growth
process by which bones grow in diameter
34
bone remodeling
process of reabsorption and depostion that occurs throughout life 3-5percent annually
35
remodeling factors
blood calcium level pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton
36
cells involved in remodeling
osteoclasts secure substances that break down calcified extracellular matrix Acids dissolve inorganic components Lysosomal enzymes digest organic components Osteoblasts secrete new bone
37
types of bone cells
osteocyte mature bone cells osteoblast bone forming cells osteoclasts bone destroying cells
38
Axial skeleton
forms longitudinal axis of the body support head neck and trunk 3 parts
39
parts of axial skeleton
Skull and hyoid vertebral column ribs and sternum
40
Skull
two sets of bones cranial and facial bones are joined by sutures only mandible is attached f=reely moving
41
bones of hard palate
maxilla palatine
42
bones of nasal septum
ethmoid vomer
43
paranasal sinuses
hollow portions of bones surrounding the nasal cavity frontal maxillary ethmoid sphenoid
44
functions of paranasal sinuses
lighten the skull give resonance and amplification to voice
45
hyoid bone
only bone that does not articulate with any other bone serves as a movable base for tongue aids is swallowing and speech
46
fetal skull
large compared to infants body frontanels fibrous membranes connecting the cranial bones allow bone to grow convert to bone within 24 months
47
vertebral column
24 bones separated by discs 7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacrum fused 4 coccyx fused
48
spine curvature
primary are spinacurvatures of the thoracic and sacralsecondary are spinal curvatures of cervical and lumbar
49
primary spinal curve
present from birth convex posteriorly
50
secondary spinal curve
develope after birth convex anteriorly
51
spinal curvature disorders
scoliosis abnormal lateral curve kyphosis exaggerated thoracic curve lordosis abnormal anterior convexity of lumbar
52
Vertebrae
body anterior weight bearing portion foramen canal which spinal cord passes spinous process
53
cervical vertebrae
Atlas C1 Axis C2 transverse foramen 2 holes spinous points down
54
thoracic vertebrae
long pointed spinous process large body horseshoe shaped articulate with ribs giraffe
55
lumbar vertebrae
large rounder bodies supports body weight no facet for rib lumbering moose
56
sacrum
formed by fusion of 5 vertebrae
57
coccyx
formed by fusion of 4 vertebrae tailbone
58
total number of vertebrae
child 33 adult 26
59
bony thorax
forms a cage to protect major organs sternum ribs thoracic vertebrae
60
ribs
true ribs 1-7 false ribs 8-12 floating ribs 11-12
61
appendicular skeleton
126 bones limbs pectoral girdle pelvic girdle
62
pectoral girdle shoulder
clavicle collarbone scapula shoulder blade
63
clavicle
elongated s shaped bones forms joint with sternum only joint that attaches upper limb to axial skeleton
64
scapula
flat triangular bone articulates with clavicle and humerus
65
bones of upper limbs
humerus brachium extends from scapula to elbow antebrachium 2 bones ulna medial bone radius lateral bone
66
Manus hand
8 carpals wrist bones 5 metacarpals palm 14 phalanges fingers
67
Pelvic girdle
2 coxal bones ossa coxae composed of 3 fused bones illium ischium pubis protects several organs, reproductive, urinary and part of large intestine
68
Lower limbs
Femur heaviest and strongest in body crural region 2 bones tibia shinbone larger and medial fibula lateral to tibia thins and sticklike, non weight bearing
69
Foot bones
7 tarsals largest talus calcaneus heelbone 5 metatarsals top 14 phalanges toes
70
joint
articulation holds bones together allows for mobility
71
joint classifications
functionally structurally
72
Funtional joints
synarthoses immovable joints amphiarthoses slightly movable joints diarthoses freely movable joints
73
structural joints
fibrous joints cartilaginous joints synovial joints
74
fibrous jointts
generally immovable articulating bones held together by fibrous tissue no joint cavity
75
cartilaginous joint
immovable or slightly movable bones connected by cartilage no cavity
76
synovial joint
freely movable joint articulating bones separated by cavity most complex most joints in body
77
synovial joint features
hyaline cartilage covers ends of bones fibrous capsule encloses joint surface dense connective tissue joint cavity is fill with synovial fluid lubricates articulating surfaces
78
ligaments
structures associated with synovial joint
79
bursae
flattened fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid not part of joint reduces friction between muscles and bone, tendon and bone
80
tendon sheath
elongated bursa that wraps around a tendon
81
menisci of knee
fibro cartilage pads shock absorbers limit lateral movement
82
ligaments
cruciate ligaments limit anterior-posterior movement of knee ligamentum capitus of hip
83
types of synovial joints
plane joint hinge joint pivot joint condyloid joint saddle joint ball and socket joint
84
Plane joint
articulating surfaces nearly flat between carpal and tarsal bones
85
hinge joint
convex surface fits into a concave surface elbow, knee interphalangeal
86
pivot joint
cylyndrical surface rotates with a ring of bone atlas and axis vertebrae proximal radius and ulna
87
condyloid joint
ovoid condyloe fitting into and elliptical cavity between metacarpal and phalanges
88
