Skeletal System

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Skeletal System   Includes bones, cartililages, joints, and other connective tissues.  
🗑
Properties of Skeletal System   Support, storage, blood cell production, protection, movement.  
🗑
Osseous Tissue   (bone) a supporting tissue that has specialized cells and a matrix consisting of extracellular protein fibers and a ground substance.  
🗑
Bone Texture   From decomposition of calcium salts within matrix.  
🗑
Calcium Phosphate   2/3 of bone weight  
🗑
Collogen FIbers   1/3 of bone weight.  
🗑
Diaphysis   Long central shaft of long bones.  
🗑
Ephyses   The head of a long bone covered in articular cartiledges, this is where growth occurs.  
🗑
Compact Bone   Solid, usually where stresses come from a limited range of directions. Osteons are only in this type of bone!  
🗑
Spongy Bone   (cancellous) a network of bony rods or struts (trabecular) separated by spaces. Reduce weight of skeleton, makes it easier for muscles to move bones.  
🗑
Trabeculae   Bony rods in spongy bones.  
🗑
Endosteum   Covers spongy bone marrow cavity inside the bone, active during cellular growth and repair,  
🗑
Osteocytes   Present in both spongy and compact bones. Found in lacunae between lamellae.  
🗑
Lacunae   small pockets osteocytes are in bone spongy or compact  
🗑
Lamellae   In narrow sheets in lacunae in osteocytes  
🗑
Canaliculi   Branch off lacunae of spongy bone, where nutrients and waste diffuse between marrow and osteocytes. Small channels radiate through matrix, interconnecting lacunae and linking them to nearby blood vessels. They have cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes,  
🗑
Osteon   The basic functional unit of a COMPACT BONE. Inside osteocytes and are arranged in concentric layers around a perforating canal that contains 1 or more blood vessels. Lamellae are arranged parallel to the long axis of central canal.  
🗑
Perforating Canals   (Haversian Canal) prove passage ways for linking the blood vessels of the central canals with those of the periosteum and the marrow cavity.  
🗑
Joint Capsoles   Articular cartilages protect opposing surfaces on the inside.  
🗑
Three Primary Bone Cells   Osteocytes, Osteoclasts, and Osteoblasts  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Dissolve the bony matrix. Giant cells with 50 or more nuclei. Release stored minerals through osteolysis, helps regulate phosphate and calcium in body fluids.  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Cells responsible for production of new bone = Ossification! Makes a new bone matrix and promotes deposition of calcium salts in organic matrix. Creating an osteocyte.  
🗑
Ossification   The replacement of cartilage with bone, during development. Deposits of calcium happen during this. Active Process.  
🗑
Intramembraneous Ossification   Bone develops within sheets of membranes of connective tissues, in deep dermis. Process begins in ossification center. How flat bones are made.  
🗑
Endochondral Ossification   How most skeletal bones are made. First cartilage is formed in embryo, bones start to solidify at 6 weeks old, peaks during puberty, and ends around 25 years old.  
🗑
Ephysal Closure   End of bone growth.  
🗑
Appositional Growth   When a bone grows longer it also grows wider, when cells of periosteum develop into osteoblasts and produce bony matrix. Marrow cavity grows as osteoblasts erode inner surface.  
🗑
Essential bone growth nurtrients   Calcium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin A, Vitamin C  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   80 bones. 20 in skull, 7 associate bones, 6 auditory ossicles, hyoid bone, 24 thoracic cage (rib cage) with sternum, and 26 bones in vertebral column  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   126 bones. 32 upper limb, 31 lower limb, pelvic and pectoral girdles.  
🗑
Bone Shapes   Long, short, flat, and irregular.  
🗑
Axial Skeleton Functions   Protects brain, spinal chord, and organs in the subdivisions of ventral body cavity, Provides surface are for attachment of muscles that adjust head, neck, and trunk. Helps perform respiratory movements, and stabilizes the appendicular skeleton.  
🗑
Skull   Bones: 8 cranium (encloses cranial cavity), 14 face, 7 additional, 6 auditory ossicles (little tinies for sound), enclosed in temporal and hyoid bones.  
🗑
Cranium (point to bones on yourself and name them)   Frontal, Parietal, Occipital, Temporal, Sphenoid, Ethmoid,  
🗑
Bones of the Face   Maxillae, Palatine, Vomer, Zygomatic, Nasal, Lacrimal, Inferior Nasal Conche, Mandible, and Hyoid  
🗑
Fontanelles   Fibrous connective tissue that connects cranial bones at birth.  
🗑
Vertebral Column   Spine bones: 26; 24 vertebrae, 1 sacrum, 1 coccyx,  
🗑
Name Spinal Curves and how many vertebrae   7 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar (longest vertebra), embryonic vertebrae sacrum and fused vertebrae coccyx.  
🗑
When are all spinal curves developed by?   10  
🗑
