QuestionAnswer
What does the musculoskeletal system include. bones, muscles and joints
5 functions of bones. framework, protection of organs, attachment for muscles in movement, formation of rbc, store minerals such as calcium and phosphorous
what are joints. joints are places where bones come together.
average adult has how many bones. 206
what are muscles. muscles are responsible for movement
can bones move without muscles. no
what are bones. bones are complete organs
formation of bones. the formation of bones are dependant of proper supply of calcium and phosphorous to bone tissue
long bones. arms and legs
short bones wrist and ankles
flat bones cover body parts, shoulder, ribs,pelvis, skull
sesamoid bones shaped like sesame seeds, are near joints; the patella(knee cap) is the largest example
how many types of bones are there. 4 different types:long, short, flat, sesamoid.
2 bones cell types. osteoclast and osteoblast
osteoclast breaks down the bone with a type of acid
osteoblast rebuilds bone that the osteoclast breaksdown
long bone structure diaphysis, epiphysis, epiphyseal line
diaphysis the shaft of the bone
epiphysis each end of the bone
epiphyseal line thin layer of cartilage
interior bone structure periosteum, articular cartilage, compact bone, spongy bone
periosteum covers the bones, its a strong fibrous vascular membrane
compact bones lies beneath the periosteum and is around the shaft of the long bone
inside the bone hollow (medullary cavity) filled with yellow bone marrow
spongy bone cancellous bone less dense than compact bone and is found at the end of long bones
spongy bones produce red blood cells and are filled with red bone marrow
two divisions of the skeleton system axial, appendicular
axial head, trunk, shoulder girdle
appendicular arms, legs, hip girdle
what is a joint articulation or coming together of two or more bones
what joints are immovable the suture joints in the skull (baby soft spot)
synovial joint bones that are separated by a fibrous cartilage joint capsule
ligaments often anchor the bones together around the capsule
articular cartilage covers the end of bones
synovial membrane lines the capsule
synovial fluid nourishes and lubricates the joint
bursae closed sacs of synovial fluid
fracture sudden breaking of a bone
closed fracture bone is broken and there is no open wound in the skin
compound open fracture bone is broken and there is open wound in the skin as a result
osteogenic sarcoma malignant tumor arising from the bone, osteoblast are multiplying out of control and form a large tumor(especially at the end of long bones)
osteomyelitis inflammation of bone and bone marrow
etiology is a bacterial infection
osteomalacia softening of the bone with inadequate amt of minerals in the bone like calcium
osteoporosis decrease in bone density...lack of estrogen...often occuring in older women
ankylosing spondylitis chronic, progressive arthritis with stiffening of joints, primarily of the spine
dislocation displascement of a bone from its joint
