Skeletal System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the functions of bones? ** | provides structure & shape, protects organs, **aids in movement*, mineral storage CALCIUM & PHOSPHORIS can release calcium to maintain blood level |
| Types of Bones | Long bones - Short Bones - Flat Bones - Irregular Bones |
| Epiphysis | end section of each bone |
| Diaphysis | middle section of bone |
| Articular Cartilage | connective tissue between bones |
| Periosteum * | a membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones- except at the joints of long bones |
| Compact bone * | dense bone , Compact bone forms a shell around cancellous bone and is the primary component of the long bones of the arm and leg and other bones, where its greater strength and rigidity are needed. |
| spongy bone | igher surface area but is less dense, softer, weaker, and less stiff. It typically occurs at the ends of long bones, highly vascular and frequently contains red bone marrow |
| Medullary canal | central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow are stored |
| Endosteum | thin layer of connective tissue which lines the surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones |
| Bone Marrow | flexible tissue found in the interior of bones, marrow in large bones produces new blood cells |
| Haversian canals | series of tubes around narrow channels formed by lamellae, inside compact bone, surround blood vessels and nerve cells throughout the bone |
| Formation - Ossification | process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts. It is synonymous with bone tissue formation. |
| Formation - Osteoblasts | cells that are responsible for bone formation |
| Formation- Osteocytes | star-shaped cell, most abundant cell found in compact bone, used for exchange of nutrients and waste, |
| Formation - Epiphyseal plate | each end of a long bone. The plate is found in children and adolescents; in adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line. |

| Flat Bones * | contains most Red bone marrow, no yellow marrow. Includes, Cranium, Sterium and ribs. |
| Irregular bones * | includes remaining bones. ex. facial, auitory, vertebrae. |
| long bones * | largest bones and move the body. Ex. Femur and humerus. contains red and yellow marrow. |
| short bones * | increases joint strength and mobility. ex.metacarpel, metatarsel,phalangy |

| Facial Bones - Maxilla | upper jaw |
| Facial Bones - Mandible | lower jaw |
| Facial Bones - Nasal Cavity | - created by 5 bones, 2 nasal bones - Vomer- lower part of nasal septum, creates midline (septum) - Inferior Concha - one on each side of nasal cavity |
| Facial Bones - Lacrimal | eye socket, tear ducts |
| Facial Bones - Zygomatic | forms the cheek |
| Facial Bones - Auditory Ossicles | - 3 tiny bones in ear Mallleus , Incus (Anvil) , Stapes (stirrup) |
| Spine - Vertebrae - Cervical | (7) - in the neck, C1- atlas- 1st cervical vertebrae, articulates w/ occipital bones- up @ down movement C2 - axis, 2nd articulations, w/ the atlas- side-to-side movement |
| Spine - Vertebrae - Thoracic | (12) - chest area- upper back- works with ribs |
| Spine - Vertebrae - Lumbar | (5) - lower back, primary weight bearing vertebrae |
| Spine - Vertebrae - Sacrum | 5 as child, fuses into 1 as adult. Forms pelvic girdle, works w hips |
| Spine - Vertebrae - Coccyx | tail bone - 4 as a child, fuses to 1 as adult |
| Spine - Vertebrae - Foramen | opening thru a bone, hole down center for spinal cord |
| Rib Cage - True Ribs | (14), 7 on each side - attach in front of sternum to back vertebrae |
| Rib Cage - False Ribs | 3 @ side - attached @ 7 ribs & vertebrae |
| Rib Cage - Floating Ribs | 2 @ side - attach only to vertebrae |
| Rib Cage - Costal Cartilage | attaches ribs to sternum |
| Rib Cage - Sternum | breastbone -manubrium - upper portion - body - middle portion - Xiphoid Process - lower portion, made of cartilage |
| Appendicular Skeleton *know axial & appendicular diagram | 126 bones, shoulder girdle, pelvic, arms & legs |
| Shoulder Girdle | - scapula shoulder blade, triangle shape - Acromion Process - projection from the spine to scapula - clavicle- collar bone |
| Humerus | - upper arm, 2nd longest bone, funny bone |
