Function of the Skeletal System

Provides internal framework that supports the body Protects internal organs and helps fight disease by producing white blood cells Makes movement possible by working in concert with muscle contraction and relaxation Stores calcium, a vital resource Forms blood cells—process is called hematopoiesis

Types of bones according to overall shape .

Long, short, flat , irregular , some are sesamoid.

bone cells , found inside the spaces called lacunae

Characterized by loss of calcified bone matrix and reduction in number of trabeculae in spongy bone Bones fracture easily, especially in wrists, hips, and vertebrae Treatment includes drug therapy, exercise, and dietary supplements of calcium and vitamin D

Rickets and osteomalacia

Both diseases characterized by loss of bone minerals related to vitamins .

Paget disease (osteitis deformans)

Faulty remodeling results in deformed bones that fracture easily Cause may be genetic or triggered by viral infections

General term for bacterial (usually staphylococcal) infection of bone Treatment may involve surgery, drainage of pus, and intravenous antibiotic treatment; often over prolonged periods

General name for several inflammatory joint conditions that may be caused by infection, injury, genetic factors, and autoimmunity Inflammation of the synovial membrane occurs, often with systemic signs and symptoms

Synovial inflammation caused by gout, a condition in which sodium urate crystals form in joints and other tissues

also known as the growth plate ,

usually involves muscle tissue.

type of joint uses cartilage to connect bones

Another name for a compound fracture

What are examples of inflammatory arthritis ?

Rheumatoid arthritis Gouty arthritis Infectious arthritis

serves as a stable anchor for the tongue.

Is the longest bone of the body

Is a type of joint that allows no movement.

division of the skeleton includes the skull, ribs, and vertebral column
