Question
Answer
Name the four classifications of bones   1. Long Bones 2. short bones 3. flat bones 4. irregular bones  
🗑
example of a long bone   femur humerus  
🗑
example of a short bone   carpals tarsals  
🗑
example of a flat bone   scull scapula ribs  
🗑
example of a irregular bone   vertebrae  
🗑
structure of a long bone   diaphysis - periosteum - epiphysis - articular cartilage  
🗑
describe diaphysis   shaft of the bone, dense compact bone covered by a hard outer casingq  
🗑
periosteum   hard outer casing of the bone  
🗑
epiphysis   bone end less dense spongy bone covered by articular cartilage  
🗑
articular cartilage   covers the bone ends and allows the bones to move more freely over each other and ot protect the bone beneath from possible friction  
🗑
Name the five functions of the skeleton   Storage - Shape - Protection - Production - Movement  
🗑
What does the skeleton store?   In the long bones there is a storage of mineral like calcium and phosphorus necessary for bone health  
🗑
Shape?   The skeleton gives us our supportive framework giving us our charateristic shape.  
🗑
Protection?   The skeleton protects delicate structures . the skull protects the brain  
🗑
Production?   Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body. White blood cells contribute to the bodys defensive system.  
🗑
What is osteoporosis?   Brittle bone disease.  
🗑
What is a joint   When two or more bones meet to form a joint whether they allow movement or not.  
🗑
Ligaments connect   bone to bone prevent unwanted movement make joints more stable  
🗑
Name the three types of joints   Immoveable Slightly moveable Freely moveable  
🗑
Immoveable fibrous fixed joint   no joint cavity bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue little or no movement possible  
🗑
Bone is classified as what?   Connective tissue  
🗑
Ossification means what?   When calcium and minerals are deposited on cartilage which then hardens and becomes bone.  
🗑
Osteoblasts are cells which?   create new bone  
🗑
Osteoclasts are cells which?   remove existing bone  
🗑
What age does the skeleton mature   25  
🗑
To which age to the bones get stronger   35  
🗑
Risk factors contributing to osteoparosis   low body fat percentages (less 20pc) smoking excessive alcohol sedentry lifestyle inadequate diet insufficient calcium intake  
🗑
Which hormones work in favour of osteoblasts?   Ostrogen in women Testosterone in men Calcitonin (from thyroid) and calcium intake.  
🗑
According to Wolfs Law which percentage of skeleton is replaced by a healthy regular active person   10per cent  
🗑
Description of long bones   Act as levers greater in length long diaphysis variable number of epipyses most are slightly curved (shock absorbers at different points)  
🗑
description of short bones   Strong less mobile than long bones cubed shaped equal in length than width spongy bone tissue (except on surface which is thin layer compact bone)  
🗑
description of flat bones   vary in shape generally thin parallel plates of compact bone enclosing layer of spongy bone tissue provide a large surface for muscle attachment  
🗑
decscripton of irregular bones   bones which cannot be grouped into any other category eg vertebrae  
🗑
