Skeletal System Flashcards
(36 cards)
Fossa
depression in a bone received the articulating bone
Notch
V shaped depression
Stabalises a bone
Condyle
Round bump
Processes
Raised area for connective tissue
Tuberosity
Raised bump used for muscle attatchment
Periosteum
Tough outer layer of bone for protection
Calcium
Mineral essential for bone growth
Vitamin d
Needed for uptake and absorption of calcium
Collegen
Protein
Connective tissue of tendons
Bone marrow
Soft tissue formed in bones
Red = rbc WBC and platletts
White = fat and cartilage
Epiphyseal
Rounded ends of bones forms a joint 2 or more bones
Growth plates
End of long bone cartilage
Site of ossifications
Diaphysis
Long part of the bone
Site of growth
Cancelleous bone
Sponges home
Red bone marrow
End of bone
Compact bone
Hardest part of the bone
Protection
Articulating cartilage
Cartilage that allow bones to move with minimum friction
Sagital
Splits body left vs right
Felxion and extension occur
E.g biceps curl
Frontal
Front vs back of body
Sideways movements - abduction and addiction
E.g cartwheel
Transverse
Splits top vs bottom
rotational movements
E.g pirouette
function of skeletal system
Red and white blood cell production
Protection of vital organs
Mineral storage
Framework support and structure
Movement and leverage
Muscle attatchment
Vertabrae column
Cervicle 7
Thoratic 12
Lumbar 5
Sacrum 5
Coccyx 4
Type of bones and example
Seasmoid patella
Long femur
Short tarsals
Irregular vertabrae
Flat sternum cranium scapula
Ligaments
Held together by tough fibrous tissue
Stop unwanted movements hyper extension and flexing
Connect bone to bone
Stabilises a joint
Function of each type of bone
Short weight bearing
Long leverages and movement and blood cell production
Irregular and flat protection of vital organs and muscle attatchment
Seasmoid reduces friction
