(137 cards)
The study of bone
osteology
composed of bones, cartilage, and ligaments
form strong, flexible framework of the body
skeletal system
Forerunner of most bones
covers many joint surfaces of mature bone
Cartilage
holds bones together at the joints (bone to bone)
Ligaments
attach muscle to bone
Tendons
Cartilage turns to what
Bone
Holds up the body, supports muscles mandible and maxilla support teeth
Support
brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs
Protection
limb movements, breathing , action of muscle on bone
Movement
calcium and phosphate ions
calcium needs to stay closer to the same level
Electrolyte balance
buffers blood against excessive pH changes
Acid- base balance
red bone marrow is the chief producer of blood cells
Blood formation
connective tissue with the matrix hardened by calcium phosphate and other minerals
Bone ( osseous tissue)
the hardening process of bones
Mineralization or calcification
_____ consists of bone tissue, bone marrow, cartilage, adipose tissue, nervous tissue, and fibrous connective tissue
Individual bones
Continually remodels itself and interacts physically with all of the other organ systems of the body
It shapes changes a little over time
Bones
Permeated with nerves and blood vessels, which attests to its sensitivity and metabolic activity
Bones and osseous tissue
Protect soft organs
curved but wide and thin
ex skull (occipital bone)
Flat bones
Longer than wide (columnar look)
Rigid levers acted upon by muscles
ex. Radius
Long bones
Equal in length and width (cube look)
Glide across one another I multiple directions
ex Carpels
Short bones
Elaborate shapes that do not fit into other categories
ex Ethmoid bone
Irregular bone
Outer shell of long bone
Compact (dense) bone
Cylinder of compact bone to provide leverage
Diaphysis (shaft)
Space in the diaphysis of a long bone that contains bone marrow
Medullary cavity (marrow cavity)
