SKELETAL Flashcards
What are the functions of skeletal system?
Framework of the body Support and attachment Protection/enclosure Movement and locomotion (tendons,ligaments) Storage of minerals ◦ (ca, Phosporus) Production of blood cells.
How many bones do we have? (adult)
206 BONES
T or F
Babies have 300 bones but fused when developed
T
◦ Upper and lower extremities/appendages. ◦ For movement and locomotion
LONG BONES
Study that deals/specialize with bones
Orthopedic medicine
◦ Upper and lower extremities/appendages. ◦ For movement and locomotion
Long Bones
Give examples for long bones
Radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula
◦ Wrists and ankle. ◦ Helps transfers force between long bones
Short Bones
Give examples for short bones
carpal, tarsal, metacarpal, metatarsal, phalanges
◦ Provides enclosure and barrier around soft organs. ◦ Skull, sternum, ribs, scapulae
Flat Bones
Give examples for flat bones
skull, breastbone/sternum, scapula
How many pairs of ribs?
12
How many pairs of ribs (TRUE)
Seven pairs
How many pairs of ribs (FALSE)
five
How many ribs (floating)
two pairs
Protection ◦ Allows bending and flexing ◦ vertebrae
`Irregular Bones ◦
=made up of cancellous
=pores
spongy bone
bone forming cells
Osteoblast
mature bone cells
Osteocytes –
=beginning to develop
=within the connective tissue membrane
=ossification centers
Intramembranous
Inside hyaline cartilage
Endochondral
T or F
Endochondral starts 4th,5th, 6th week (embryonic stage until it is delivered
T
formation of new bones from the embryonic hyaline cartilage.
OSSIFICATION
=process in which bone develops from preexisting hyaline cartilage
=begins around the 6th week of development and continues till about the mid twenties
=includes vertebrae, ribs, sternum, scapula, pelvis, and bones of the limbs
Endochondral Ossification
