Skeletal system notes from class Flashcards
what are the 6 fxns of the skeletal system
support and shape
movement
protection
storage of minerals
storage of lipids
blood cell production
where does movement occur
at joints
what bones are involved in protection
cranium of brain
ribcage of internal organs
how much of bone is inorganic salts
about 2/3
how much of the bodys Ca++ is in bone
about 99 %
what si phosphate needed for
energy
component of nucleic acid
modulating protein activity
what is calcium needed for
keeping bones hard
nervous impulses
muscle contraction
clotting
where are lipids stored
in the shaft of the bone, whcih is hollow
what is the shaft of a bone filled with
yellow bone marrow/fat
what is hemopoiesis
the formation of all red blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelets
where is red bone marrow located
at the epiphyses of long bones
body of vertebrae
where is yellow bone marrow loacted
diaphysis/ shaft of bones
what does calcitonin do
puts calcium in the bones
what does parathyroid hormone do
obtain calcium by degrading bone
how may named bones are there
206
what are the 3 cartilages
hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic cartilage
where is hyaline cartilage found
nose
ends of bones
ribs
where is fibrocartilage found
intervertebral disc
pubic symphysis
where is elastic cartilage found
auricle
epigoitis (flap of pharynx)
what cartilage is tougher
fibrocartilage
what cartilage has more collagen fibers…. which has more elastic ?…. which is the most common?
fibrocartilage has more collagen
elastic cartilagee has more elastic fibers
hyaline cartilage is the most common form
what are articular discs
flat bands of fibrocartilage
what do tendons do
connect bone to muscle
stability/movement
what do ligaments do
connect bone to bone
stability
