Exam 2 Flashcards
Chapters 6
4 components of the skeletal system
bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments
6 functions of the skeletal system
- framework for body (support/ bear weight)
- protection (organs)
- allow movement
- store minerals in bone (Ca, P)
- stores adipose in bone cavity (yellow marrow)
- red bone marrow (hematopoiesis)
what attaches muscles to bone
tendons
what holds bones together
ligaments
what cartilage is in the embryonic skeletal and bone
hyaline
3 cartilage types in the skeletal system
hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
what cartilage is at the ends of bones that help with glide and friction
hyaline
what cartilage has a glassy background and collagen
hyaline
what cartilage is elastin, flexible: external ear and epiglottis
elastic
what cartilage has collagen fibers, strong and often found in pubic symysis, knee mensicus and intervertebral discs
fibrocartilage
2 types of cartilage growth
appositional and interstitial
cartilage forming cells secrete new matrix against external face of existing caritlage
appositional
chrondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, expand cartilage from within
interstitial
reinforced concrete is
bone matrix
components of bone matrix
collagen and minerals
what has flexible strength. LOSE= BRITTLE
collagen
hydroxyapetite is
minerals
what has weight bearing strength LOSE= bend
minerals
build matrix is what bone cell
osteoblast
what lays down new bone on surface (appositional)
osteoblast
osteogenesis/ ossification
osteoblast
what bone cell arises from osteochondral progenitor cells (stem cells)
osteoblast
what bone cell maintain matrix
osteocytes
what bone cell is 90-95% of bone cells
osteocytes
