What are the functions of the skeletal system?
Support, (entire body)
Protection of the organs
Movement (attachment of the muscles)
Hemopoiesis (blood cell production)
Energy and mineral reserves (calcium)
pectoral girdle, upper limb, pelvic girdle, lower limb
bones of the appendicular skeleton
vertebral column, thoracic cage
bones of the axial skeleton
3 types of cartilage
hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
cartilage found in the ends of long bone, costal cartilage, respiratory structures, fetal skeleton
hyaline
cartilage found in pinna(inner ear) and epiglottis
elastic
cartilage found in intervertebral disks, knee joints, pubic symphasis
fibrocartilage
what kind is bone is inside bones, and shock absorption
spongy bone
what kind of bone is smooth, dense external portion of bones , strong, rigid
compact bone
humerus, tibia, fibula, metatarsals, metacarpals, phalanges, femur
examples of long bones
talus, carpals, tarsals
examples of short bone
sternum, scapula, skull bones, rib bones
examples of flat bones
vertebra, sacrum, patella, mandible, coccyx
examples of irregular bones
The epiphysis (ends)
Epiphyseal line (growth plate)
Diaphysis (shaft)
Compact bone (superficial)
Spongy bone (deep)
Periosteum (sheath on outside of bone)
Endosteum ( lines internal cavity)
Medullar cavity (bone marrow)
Nutrient arteries (feed bone)
parts of a long bone
a process that gradually replaces cartilage with bone tissue to form bones.
endochondral ossification
a process that converts mesenchymal tissue directly into bone, forming flat bones in the skull, clavicle, and other parts of the body
intramembranous ossification
Which bones form via endochondral ossification?
long bones, axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton, skull base, clavicle
Which bones form via Intramembranous ossification?
flat bones of the skull, cranial bones, clavicle
a disc of cartilage that allows long bones to grow in length
epiphyseal plate
the set of bones in the appendicular skeleton which connects to the arm on each side
pectoral girdles
What are the major parts/processes of the scapula?
the acromion, the spine, and the coracoid process
What bones are found in the upper limb?
clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna and hand bones.
The proximal end (including the greater tubercle), the shaft (body), and the distal end (including the capitulum and trochlea)
major parts of the humerus
How many phalanges are in the hand? How many carpals?
8 carpals, 5 phalanges
