QuestionAnswer
What are the functions of the skeleton system? Support the body, protect soft organs, allow movement, store minerals and fats, blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)
If you were to break a shaft in a long bone, what part of the bone is actually broken? Diaphysis

What does hypercalcemia promote? Calcium storage to bones
What is ossification? Bone formation
What are the 4 steps in bone healing IN ORDER? Hematoma forms, fibrocartilage callus forms, bony callus forms, bone remodeling occurs
What is the axial system composed of? Skull, vertebral column, bony thorax
What tissue covers the epiphysis bones and reduces frictions in the joints? Articular cartilage
What does yellow marrow do? Contains/stores fat (energy)
What does the epiphyseal plate do? Causes lengthwise growth for longbone in childhood
What is an osteon? A unit of bone containing central canal and matrix rings
What runs through osteons? Blood vessels and nerves
Bones are remodeling throughout life in response to what two factors? Calcium ion levels and pull of gravity + muscles
Greenstick fracture Bone breaks incompletely like a green twig breaks - children
Depression fracture Bone is crushed - porous bones
Spiral comminuted fracture Ragged break from twisting forces - sports fracture
Impacted fracture Broken bones forced into each other - break fall with arms
What is the order of the vertebra from superior to inferior? How many are in each section? Cervical curvature C1 - C7 (Atlas, axis) Thoracic curvature T1 - T12 Lumbar curvature L1 - L5 Sacral curvature (conex) 5 fused Coccyx 4 fused
What bones make up your cheekbones? Inside your eye area? Temple area? Zygomatic, temporal bone, lacrimal
Why are floating ribs called floating ribs? No attachment to the sternum
In our vertebra, what does the body do? Where does the spinal cord pass? Support vertebral foramen
On the back of our skull where the occipital bone is located, what structure allows the spinal cord to connect to the brain? Magnum foramen
What are the fontanels? Fibrous membranes connecting cranial bones "soft spots"
What is unique about the hyoid bone? The only bone that does not articulate with another bone
How many true ribs do we have? 1-7 True ribs (7 total) 8-12 False ribs 11-12 Floating ribs
What is the tailbone called? Coccyx
Primary curvature have what shape? Secondary curvature have what shape? Primary: c-shaped Secondary: s-shaped
What bone forms the inner and outer part of the ankle? Tibia + fibula, medial malleolus + lateral mallelous Calcaneus (heel bone) Talus (ankle)
What are the bones called that are found in the hand? Feet? Carpals = hand (Carpals, metacarpals, phalanges) Tarsals = feet (Tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges)
What bones make up the forearm? Lower leg? Ulna + radia, tibia + fibula
Know how to tell the difference between a male and female pelvis females is wider, male is narrower
Hinge joint Synovial
Skull sutures Fibrous
Created by intervertebral discs Cartilaginous
Created by public symphysis Cartilaginous
Created by teeth and mandible or maxillary bones Fibrous
What is articulation? Joints; where two bones meet
What is the difference between synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and diarthroses? Synarthroses - immovable joints Amphiarthroses - slightly movable joints Diarthroses - freely movable joints
What is osteoporosis? A bone-thinning disease
What are examples of long bones? Flat bones? Short Bones? Irregular? Long bones - Femur, tibia, humerus, radius Flat bones - Most skull bones, ribs, sternum Short bones - Carpals, tarsals Irregular bones - Vertebrae, hip bones
What are the subdivisions of the skeleton? The axial and appendicular skeleton
How many bones does adult skeleton have 206
What is the purpose of red marrow? Blood cell formation in infants until ages 6 or...7!!!
What lines the inner surface of the shaft and is made of connective tissue? Endosteum
What are the ends of bones composed mostly of Spongy bone called? Epiphysis
What is the outside covering of the diaphysis? Periosteum
What are projections/processes? Grow out of the bone surface Term often begin with "T"
What are depressions/cavities? Indentations Terms often begin with "F"
What part of the bone makes it have great tensile strength? Organic parts (collagen fibers)
What are trabeculae? Small needlelike pieces of bone in the Spongy bone
What are lacunae? Cavities in bone matrix that house osteocytes
What are lamellae? Concentric circles of lacunae situated around the central (haversian) canal
What is central (haversian) canal? Opening in the center of osteon, carries blood vessels and nerves
What is canalculli? Tiny canals that forma a transport system connecting all bones to a nutrient supply
What are perforating (vakmanns) canal Canal perpendicular to central canal
What is bone growth controlled by? Hormones
What are bones remodeled in response to? Calcium ion levels in blood (determines when it is broken down/formed) Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton (determines where it is to be broken down/formed)
What are bone fractures treated by? Treated by reduction and immobilization Closed reduction: manually coaxed into position by physician Open reduction: put in position by pins/wires
What is the difference between fibrous, cartiaginous, and synovial joints Fibrous - generally immovable Cartilaginous - immovable or slightly movable Synovial - freely movable
What is syndesmoses/gomphoses Syndesmoses - more movement than sutures but still immobile, found on distal ends of tibia and fibula Gomphoses - immobiles, found where teeth meet facial bones
What is synchrondrosis/symphysis Synchondrosis - immobile, found in epiphyseal plates of growing long bones Symphysis - slightly movable, found in the pubic symphysis/intevertebral joints
What are the four distinguishing features of synovial joints? Articular cartilage, articular capsule, joint cavity, reinforcing ligaments
