Term
Definition
Functions of the skeletal system   1. Supports and gives shape to the body 2. Protects internal organs 3. Helps with movement (bones are pulled by muscles) 4. Stores calcium 5. Helps with Hematopoiesis  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   Blood Cell Formation  
🗑
Skeletal system is composed of:   -Joints -Ligaments -Cartilage -Bones  
🗑
Joints   Part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement.  
🗑
Joints are classified into three categories   - Synarthroses - no movement - Amphiarthroses - slight movement - Diarthroses - free movement  
🗑
Synarthroses   Immovable, connected with fibrous tissue  
🗑
Amphiarthroses   Slightly moveable, connected by cartilaginous tissue  
🗑
Diarthroses   Free movement aka as a synovial joint, lined by articular cartilage and lubricated with synovial fluid  
🗑
Different Joints   Hinge joint - elbow joint Pivot joint - dens of axis rotating against atlas Saddle joint - Carpometacarpal joint of thumb Condyloid joint - Atlantooccipital joint Ball-and-socket joint - Shoulder, hip joint Gliding - Articular process between vertbr  
🗑
Ligaments   Bands of tough elastic tissue around your joints. They connect bone to bone, give your joints support, and help limit their movement.  
🗑
Cartilage   Can be found around joints, fibers are embedded in a gel-like substance as opposed to a calcified hard substance like bone, therefore cartilage has much more flexibility.  
🗑
Cartilage can be classified into three categories!   A. Elastic Cartilage B. Fibrocartilage C. Hyaline Cartilage  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   Articular cartilage when it covers the ends of bones at a joint, is the most abundant in the body.  
🗑
Bones   Substance that forms the skeleton of the body  
🗑
Ossification   Bone formation, begins during prenatal development andpersists throughout adulthood.  
🗑
Bones of infants   Are softer than adults because it has not yet been ossified.  
🗑
There are two ways osteogenesis or ossification occurs:   Intramembranous Ossification: Develops from mesenchymal cells replacing the cartilage Endochondral Ossification: Develops from the cartilage that is already present  
🗑
Words to Remember   Osteoblasts - Build bone Osteoclasts - Chew bone Osteocytes - Maintain bone Osteogenic Cell - Stem Cells  
🗑
Bone Tissue Structure   Typical bone has an out layer of hard or compact bone, inside this layer is spongy bone. In the middle of some bones is jelly-like bone marrow, where new cells are constantly being produced for the blood.  
🗑
Red and Yellow Bone Marrow   Red - contains blood stem cells; can become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. Yellow - made mostly of fat; contains stem cells that can become cartilage, fat, or bone cells.  
🗑
Bone Types   -Long -Short -Flat -Irregular -Sesamoid  
🗑
Sesamoid   Usually short or irregular bones, imbedded in a tendon. It passes over a joint which serves to protect the tendon.  
🗑
Examples of sesamoid bones   Patella (knee cap) - sits in the quadriceps tendon. Pisiform (smallest of the Carpals) and two small bones at the base of the first Metatarsal.  
🗑
Irregular   These are bones which do not fall into any category (due to non-uniform shape). Primarily consists of cancellous bone, aka spongy bone, with a thin outer layer of compact bone.  
🗑
Examples of irregular bone   -Vertebrae -Sacrum -Mandible (lower jaw)  
🗑
Flat   Strong flat plates of bone with main function of providing protection to the vital organs, and a base for muscular attachment. Anterior and posterior surfaces are made of compact bone to provide protection with the center (spongy) bone and bone marrow.  
🗑
Examples of flat bone   -Scapula -Sternum -Cranium -Coxae -Pelvis -Ribs  
🗑
Short   Being approximately as wide a they are long, have primary function of providing support and stability with movement.  
🗑
Examples of short bone   Carpals and tarsals (wrist and foot bones) Consist of only a thin layer of compact, hard bone with spongy bone on the inside along with relatively large amounts of bone marrow.  
🗑
Long   Largest bones in the body, such as the Femur, Humerus and Tibia. Some of the smallest including the Metacarpals, Metatarsals and Phalanges.  
🗑
Structure of long Bones   -Diaphysis (or shaft) -Epiphysis (ends)  
🗑
Articular Cartilage   Covers epiphysis and functions as a cushion9  
🗑
Structure of long bone (medullary cavity, etc)   Medullary Cavity - hollow area inside diaphysis of the bone that contains yellow marrow Endosteum - membrane lining medullary cavity Periosteum - strong membrane covering bone everywhere except at joint surfaces  
🗑
Divisions of the Skeleton   Axial & Appendicular Skeleton  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton (126 total)   -Upper extremities, including shoulder (pectoral) girdle -Lower extremities, including hip (pelvic) girdle  
🗑
Axial Skeleton (80 total)   -Skull -Spine (vertebral column) -Thorax (ribs & sternum) -Hyoid bone  
🗑
Bones of the SKULL   Skull consists of: -8 bones that form the cranium -14 bones that form the face -6 tiny bones in the middle ear  
🗑
Middle Ear (bones)   The following assists with amplifying sound through vibration: -Malleus (hammer) -Incus (anvil) -Stapes (stirrup)  
🗑
Spinal Column   Consists of a series of separate bones called vertebrae that form a flexible curved rod -The curves provide strength to support weight of the body & balance  
🗑
Regions of the vertebral column:   1. Cervical Vertebrae (7) *breakfast 2. Thoracic Vertebrae (12) *lunch 3. Lumbar Vertebrae (5) *supper 4. Sacrum (1) 5. Coccyx (1)  
🗑
Thorax or Chest   Consists of 12 pairs of ribs, the sternum, and thoracic vertebrae.  
🗑
Ribs   12 pairs except for the lower 2 pairs are attached to the sterum by costal cartilage 8th, 9th, 10th ribs are attached to the 7th rib called "False Ribs" Last 2 pairs of ribs are not attached to any costal cartilage calld "Floating Ribs"  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Upper and Lower extremities  
🗑
Upper Extremities   Pectoral Girdle -Scapula (shoulder blade) -Clavicle (collarbone) Humerus - long bone of the arm Radius & Ulna - bones of the forearm Carpals - wrist bones Metacarpals - first section of finger bones Phalanges - second & third sections of fingers  
🗑
Sternoclavicular Joint   Connects the upper extremity to the axial skeleton  
🗑
Lower Extremities   Femur - thigh bone (largest in the body) Patella - knee cap Tibia - inner lower leg bone Fibula - outer lower leg bone  
🗑
Lower Extremities continued   Tarsals - bones of the ankle area Carpals - wrist bones Metatarsals - first section of toe bones Phalanges - second section of toe bones  
🗑
Pelvic Girdle (male vs female)   Shape of pelvis (male) deep and narrow (female) broad and shallow Size of pelvic inlet (female) generally wider, normally wide for a baby's head to pass through Pubic Angle (female) angle between pubic bones generally wider  
🗑
