Question
Answer
skeletal system   supports and gives shape to the body;protects internal organs, helps with movements,stores calcium  
🗑
Calcium storage   hormones regulate  
🗑
calcitonin   increases storage;parathyroid hormone reduces stores of calcium  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   the blood cell formation in red bone marrow  
🗑
Four Major Bone Types(defines by the according to their shape)   1-Long(humerus) 2-Short(Carpals) 3-Flat(frontal) 4-Irregular(vertebrae)  
🗑
Diaphysis (Shaft)   is the hollow tube of hard compact bone  
🗑
Medullary Cavity   the hollow are inside diaphysis that contains yellow marrow  
🗑
Epiphysis(ends of the bone)   are the spongy that contains red bone marrow  
🗑
Articular Cartilage   covers the epiphyses and functions as a cushion  
🗑
Periosteum   is the strong membrane covering bone everywhere except at joint surfaces  
🗑
Endosteum   is the thin membrane lining the medullary cavity  
🗑
Flat Bones   have a spongy bone layer sandwiched between two compact bone layers  
🗑
Diploe   is the spongy bone layer of a flat bone  
🗑
trabeculae   spongy bone has a texture that results from needlelike threads of the bone, surrounded by a network of open spaces;found in epiphsis of bones contain red bone marrow  
🗑
Osteon   Structural unit in compact bone;  
🗑
Concentric lamella   calcified matrix arranged in multiple layers or rings  
🗑
Ostocytes   bone cells  
🗑
Lacunae   are small, spindle-shaped spaces each containing an osteocyte that is left behind by osteoblasts during the process of remodelling.  
🗑
Canaliculi   a small channel found in ossified bone  
🗑
Chondrocyte   cartilage cell  
🗑
Cartilage Matrix   is gel-like and lacks blood vessels  
🗑
Early bone development   before birth, consists of cartilage and fibrous structures  
🗑
Osteoblasts   FORM NEW BONE  
🗑
Osteoclasts   REABSORB BONE;are inactive osteoblasts  
🗑
Endochondral ossification   Cartilage models gradually and is replaced by the calcified bone matrix  
🗑
TWO main divisions of skeleton   1-Axial 2-Appendicular  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   skull, spine, throax, hyoid bone  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Upper extremites including shoulder girdle and lower extremites including hip girdle.  
🗑
Male Skeleton   Generally Larger than female; shape of pelvisis deep and narrow;pubic angle is narrower  
🗑
Female Skeleton   generally smaller than male; pelvis is shallow and broad; Pelvis inlet is generally wider; pubic bones is generally wider  
🗑
Hyoid Bone   anchors tongue; only bone not connected to another  
🗑
Three kinds of joints   1-Synarthrosis joint 2-Amphiarthrosis 3-Diarthosis  
🗑
Synarthrosis Joints   is no movement;fibrous connective tisse grows between articulating bones; EX. sutures of the skull  
🗑
Amphiarthrosis Joints   slight movements; the cartilage connects articulating bones; EX. symphsis pubis  
🗑
Diarthosis   is a free movement joint;joint capsule and ligaments that hold adjoining bones together permit movement at joint  
🗑
Synovial membrane   is the soft tissue found between the articular capsule  
🗑
Synovial fluid   its yolk-like consistency;the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement.  
🗑
Bursae   are fluid-filled pouches that absorb shock  
🗑
Bursitis   inflammationof a bursa  
🗑
Functions of free movable joints   1-ball and socket 2-hinge 3-pivot 4-saddle 5-gliding 6-condyloid  
🗑
