Chapter 6- Skeletal system Flashcards
(39 cards)
Hyaline Cartilage
In ribs, joints, nose, and larynx (provides support and flexibility)
Elastic Cartilage
External ear and epiglottis (contains elastic fibers)
Fibrocartilage
Menisic of knee and vertebral discs (thick collagen fibers)
The seven functions of bones
Supports, Protection, Movement, Mineral and Growth factor, Blood cell formation, Fat storage, Hormone production
How many bones in skeleton
206 named bones
2 groups of skeleton
Axial (middle) and Appendicular (arms and legs)
4 Category of Bones
Long bones, Short bones, Irregular bones, Flat bones
Whats the mendullary cavity
Middle part of long bone
Compact Bone
Sense outer layer that appears smooth and solid
Spongy bone
made up of small needle like pieces of bone called Trabecule
What do Long bones contain
Diaphysis, epiphyses (growth plate) and membranes
Types of Membranes
Periosteum (anchors for tendons and ligaments)
Endosteum (inside, connective tissue covering bone surface)
Osteoblasts, Osteocytes and Osteoclasts are all
cells
Bone forms by replacing
Hylanine Cartilage
osteogenesis
beginning of bones
Bone Resorption
New bone matrix is deposited by osteoblasts, resorption is function of osteoclasts
Diaphysis vs epiphysis
Diaphysis-shaft that forms long axis of bone
epiphyses-ends of long bone that has compact bone and spongy bone
What is inside the medullary cavity
Contains bone marrow & is the hollow part of bone
How does medullary cavities differ in adults & children
In children it contains red marrow
What is an osteon
Haverisan system, the structural unit of compact bone
Haversian vs Volkmann canals
Haversian-central canals contains blood vessels & nerves
Volkmann-contains blood and nerve supply
Function of canaliculi
Capillaries grow into hematoma
Osteoblast
Bone forming cells
Ostocytes
Mature bone cell
