Question
Answer
functions of skeletal system   support, protects, movement, hematopoiesis  
🗑
four major types of bones   long(humerus) short(carpals) flat (frontal) irregular (spinal)  
🗑
diaphysis or shaft   hollow tube of hard compact bone (shaft of long bone)  
🗑
epiphyses or end of long bone   made of spongy bone that contains red bone marrow  
🗑
hematopoiesis occurs   ends of long bones  
🗑
structure of flat bones   thin layer of compact bone surrounding cancellous (spongy or diploe) bone Open spaces within spongy bone are surrounded by bony trabeculae  
🗑
compact bone   structural unit is an osteon calcified matrix arranged in multiple layers or rings covered by periosteum (dense)  
🗑
bone cells   osteocytes  
🗑
spongy bones   found in epiphyses of bones appears porous spaces contain red blood marrow texture results from trabeculae  
🗑
osteoblasts   bone building cells  
🗑
Bone remodeling   continuing "sculpting " by osteoblasts and osteoclasts bones giving the abiltiy to ossify, grow, change shape, heal  
🗑
skeleton can still grow as long as there is   cartilage left in the epiphyseal plate  
🗑
epiphyseal line (bone) replaces ? when growth ceases   epiphyseal plate (cartliage)  
🗑
sternum and sacrum are part of the   axial skeleton  
🗑
appendicular skeleton (126) bones   upper extremities- shoulder (pectoral) girdle lower extremities- hip (pelvic) girdle  
🗑
skeletal divisons   axial and appendicular  
🗑
true ribs   pairs 1-7 attached to sternum  
🗑
false ribs   pairs 8-10 , attached to cartilage 7  
🗑
floating ribs   pairs 11-12, no anterior attachment  
🗑
shape of pelvis   male pelvis deep and narrow female broad and shallow  
🗑
pubic angle in female   female wider for baby to pass (greater than 90 degrees)  
🗑
osteoporosis   loss of calicified bone matrix bones fracture easily occurs most in postmenopausal woman with calcium deficiencies  
🗑
rickets and osteomalacia   both characterized by loss of bone minerals related to vitamin D.  
🗑
rickets   bowing of legs because of insufficient amount of vitamin D in children. Prevents bone mineralization  
🗑
osteoarthritis   deterioration of the bone in a joint through wear and tear.  
🗑
Rheumatoid arthritis   an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks the joints causing swelling, pain, inflammation.  
🗑
osteoclast   cell that breaks down bone (resorption)  
🗑
collagen   the organic component that makes up the fibers in bones.  
🗑
Calcium phosphate   The inorganic mineral composition of bone  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
