Skeletal System Flashcards
(31 cards)
Compact Bone
hard and protective nature
Spongy Bone
Sponge- like numerous spaces
Basic Structural Unit
Osteons
Which body tissue is bone?
Connective Tissue
Osteoblasts
(blasts- build matrix)
Immature Bone Cells
-secretes bone matrix (collagen fibers) then get trapped in lacunae)
Osteogenic cells
(genic- generates cells)
in periosteum and endosteum (where bone is laid down)
- only bone cells that go under cell division
Osteocytes
(cytes- maintain tissue)
Mature bone cells
- maintain bone/exchange nutrients with blood
-main cells in bone tissue
-found in lacunae
Osteoclasts
(clast- break down)
-formed from WBC/Monocytes
-“Digest” bone matrix for normal bone turnover/reabsorption
5 Bone Functions
Support
Protection
Movement
Storage
Blood cell formation
Axial
Head
Vertebrae
Ribs
Sternum
Hyoid bone
Appendicular
Pelvic Girdle
Pectoral Girdle
Humorous, Radius, Ulna
Femur, Tibia, Fibula
Metacarpals/metatarsals
Carpals, tarsals
phalanges
Calcium Homeostasis
- The bone is a major reserve of Calcium
-Blood levels of Ca controlled via remodeling
Negative feedback loops
- Parathyroid hormone
- Calcitonin
Parathyroid hormone
If blood Ca2+ decreases, stimulates increase in osteoclast activity + decreased loss of Ca2+ in urine → more Ca2+ in blood
Calcitonin
if Ca+2 is too high this will decrease osteoclast= get Ca+2 out of blood
Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint Disease
(most common
-pain, stiffness, tenderness, loss of flexibility, bone spurs
Can range from unaffected to severely disabled
Rheumatoid arthritis
Stiffening/swelling of joints
Cranial Bones (8)
Frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid
Facial Bones (14)
Maxilla, mandible, palatine, zygomatic, lacrimal, nasal, vomer, inf. nasal conchae
lambdoid Suture
separates Occipital bone Parietal Bone
Squamous Suture
Separates the Temporal bone and the Parietal Bone
Sagittal Suture
Separates Parietal bones
Coronal Suture
Separates Parietal Bone and Frontal Bone
Foramen Magnum
Hole in the Occipital Bone for the Spinal Cord
