Chapter 6 Flashcards
How many bones does the axial skeleton have?
80 bones
How many bones does the appendicular skeleton have?
126 bones
How many bones does the human body have?
206 bones
The axial skeleton contains bones of the
skull, thorax, and vertebral column
The appendicular skeleton contains bones of all the
limbs and griddles
The appendicular skeleton attach bones of all limbs and griddles that attach them to what
axial skeleton
What are the 5 primary functions of the skeletal system
- support
- store minerals and lipids
- produce blood cells
- protection
- leverage
Bones are classified by
shape and internal tissue organization
What bone:
thin with parallel surface.
ex: skull bones, sternum, ribs, scapulae
flat bones
What bone:
small, irregular bone
ex: found between flat bones of the skull
Sutural bones
What bone:
relatively long and thin
ex: arm, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes
long bones
what bone:
have complex shapes
ex: vertebrae, bones of pelvic, facial bones
Irregular bones
What bone:
small and flat
ex: develop inside tendons near joints of knees, hands, feet
Seasmoid bones
What bone:
small and bony/thick
ex: bones of carpals (wrist) and tarsals (ankles)
Short bones
Bone markings that are along bone surface, indicate locations of blood vessels or nerves
depression, grooves, or tunnels
Bone marking that are muscles, tendons, and ligament attachments. At articulations with other bones
Elevations or projections
Describe the structure of the long bone
Epiphysis, diaphysis, and metaphysis
Wide part at each end. Articulation with other bones (joints). Made mostly of spongy bone. Covered with articular cartilage
Epiphysis
The epiphysis is made mostly of what
spongy bone
The epiphysis is covered with?
articular cartilage
The shaft. A heavy wall made of compact bone. A central space called the medullary cavity.
diaphysis
What is the central space in the diaphysis called?
medullary cavity
What is in the medullary cavity?
red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow
involved in the red blood cell production
red bone marrow
