How many skeleton does an adult have?
206 Bones
What is Axial Skeleton?
Long access of the body
-Has 80 bones
-Skully, thorax, and vertebral column
-Protect and support
What is Appendicular Skeleton?
Bones of the upper and lower limbs
-Has 160 bones
-Limbs and girdles
-Leverage for movement
What is Hematopoiesis?
The production of all the blood cells and occurs at the end of a long bone in the red bone area
-Mineral and fat storage
What is Support?
Bones provide a framework that supports the body and cradles it’s soft organs
What is Storage Of Minerals?
Bones are reserve for minimal storage with the most important being calcium
What is Blood Cell Production?
Hematopoiesis which includes red and white cells
What is Protection?
The bone protects organs and delicate tissue
What is Leverage?
Skeletal muscles attached to bones by tendons use bones as levers to move the bones as leverage
What is Long Bone?
Considerably longer than the they are wide and has a staff and 2 ends (Femur)
What is Short Bone?
Generally cube shaped (Wrist and Ankle)
What is Sesamoid Bone?
Special type of short bone that forms in a tendon (Patella-Kneecap)
What is Flat Bone?
Thin, flattened, and usually a bit curved (Sternum-Breast Bone, Rib, Scapula, and some of Skull)
What is Irregular Bone?
Have complicated shape (vertebra)
What is Sutural Bone?
Bones that are only found in the skull
What is Diaphysis?
Shaft of a long bone and forms the axis of the long bone
What contains Yellow Bone Marrow (A type of fat)?
Inside the medullary cavity
What is Epiphysis (Singular)?
Compact bone forms the anterior epiphysis and the interior contact spongy bone
What is Epiphyses (Plural)?
The ends of long bone and the joint surface of each epiphysis is covered with a thin layer of articular cartilage
What is Articular Cartilage?
Cushions the opposing bone ends during joint movement and absorbs stress (Sits in between bones)
What is Epiphyseal Line?
Between the diaphysis and each epiphysis of an adult long bone
-A remnant of the epiphyseal plate
What is Epiphyseal Plate?
A disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone
What is Metaphysis?
The region were the diaphysis and epiphysis meet
What is Membranes?
Another structural feature of long bone
