Q

The functions of the skeletal system

A

The functions of the skeletal system

  • Support -maintain shape
  • Protection- internal organs
  • System of levers for movement (muscles “pull” against bone for movement)
  • Hematopoiesis -production of blood cells,
  • Fat storage-in adults
  • Mineral storage- calcium ions & phosphate
  • Acid-basic homeostasis

Q

5 Bone Shapes

A
  • Flat Bone: any bone that is broad, flat, & thin
    Example: Sternum, Scapula, Cranial, rib
  • Long Bone: longer than it is wide
    Example: humerus, tibia, Ulna, Clavicle, Metatarsal, Femur
  • Short Bone: about as wide as it is long
    Example: carpal, metacarpal,

-Sesamoid Bones: round, flat & found encased within tendon.
Example: patella

  • Irregular Bones: any bone that do not fall within any of the pervious categories
    Example: sacrum, vertebra

Q

The purpose of red marrow…

A

responsible for producing blood cells; infants & young children contain mostly red bone marrow b/c their rapid rate of growth requires a constant supply of new blood cells.

  • Children: red marrow everywhere
  • Adults: Red marrow remains only in the bones of the pelvis, proximal femur, humerus, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, clavicle, & scapulae

25
Intramembranous ossification (membrane bone)
(membrane bone) bones build on starting material known as a model that is made of a membrane of embryonic connective tissue Examples: skull & clavicle (flat bones) Steps: 1. Ossification centers- formation of primary woven between membranes 2. Periosteum forms 3. Formation of Compact bone plates 4. New woven bone matures to spongy bone
26
Endochondral Ossification (cartilage bone)
(cartilage bone) bones build on a model made of hyaline cartilage; this results in a growth plate o Examples: all the bones in the body below the head, except the clavicles o Steps: 1. hyaline cartilage model is formed 2. bone collar & periosteum are formed around the shaft of the model 3. the primary ossification center is formed in the center of the diaphysis 4. the diaphysis is remodeled & the II ossification of epiphyses begins 5. the only cartilage remains at the articular surfaces & at the epiphyseal plate
27
Appositional Growth
growth in bone width
28
Interstitial Growth
increase in bone length; inside the tissue
29
Epiphyseal plate growth
Epiphyeal plate growth: 1. Chondrocytes replicate & enlarge (more cells make more matrix) 2. Cartilage plate grows, increasing bone length 3. Cartilage dies & is replaced by bone 4. Epiphyseal plate remains same size, while bone grows
30
Growth in Bone Length
Growth in Bone Length: structure of the epiphyseal plate 1. Zone of reserve cartilage; resting zone (G0) 2. Zone of proliferation; actively dividing 3. Zone of hypertrophy & maturation; too little oxygen (start to die) 4. Zone of calcification; dead chondrocytes 5. Zone of ossification; bone cells moved in & made bone
31
Growth Hormone (GH)
produced by the anterior pituitary, an endocrine gland below the brain. Enhances protein synthesis and cell division. Infancy & childhood - Increase rate of mitosis, promoting longitudinal growth - Increases activity of osteogenic cells including their activity in the zone of ossification - Direct stimulation of osteoblasts in periosteum, triggering appositional growth
32
Testosterone
male sex hormone - Increase appositional growth (thinker)& great calcium salt deposits - Increase rate of mitosis at the epiphyseal plate-->“growth spurts” - Accelerates the closure of the epiphyseal plates
33
Estrogen
female sex hormone - Increases rate of longitudinal bone growth & inhibits osteoclasts-->”growth spurt” - Increase mitosis & osteogenesis - Accelerates closure of epiphyseal plates, more potent effect -->women are shorter
34
Bone Remodeling
the continual process of bone growth & bone loss that takes place within healthy bone. Gives you mature bone. - Causes: Stress (amount of compression), Tension (stretching force), Pressure (continuous downward force) - Factors: stress, damage, nutrition, hormones, age
35
Bone Repair
replacement of primary bone with secondary bone | -Causes: damage
36
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
increases calcium ion level in blood
37
Calcitonin
produced by the cells of the thyroid gland, located in the anterior neck. Decrease blood calcium ion concentration by stimulating osteoblasts to build bone. Triggers negative feedback loop when there is an increase in the number of calcium ions
38
Vitamin D
a steroid synthesized by the body in response to exposure of the skin to UV light; absorbed from the intestines
39
The process of fracture repair
4 Step: 1. Blood clot formation (inflammation) 2. Fibrous network forms a soft callus 3. Osteoblasts enter the callus & begin cancellous bone formation 4. The bone callus is remodeled & primary bone is replaced with secondary bone
40
Osteopetrosis
(marble bone disease) defective osteoclast that do not properly degrade bone -disorders of the skeletal system
41
