Skeletal system
Function |
framework of bones and cartilage that prtoects our organs and allows us to move
1.support 2.protection 3.movement 4.mineral storage and homeostasis 5.site of bloodcell production (hemopoiesis) 6.storage of energy |
|
Long Bone
|
Length is greater than width; contain compact bone
ex: tibula and fibula |
|
Short Bone
|
Nearly equal in length and width
Ex: wrist and ankle bone |
|
Flat Bone
|
Provide protection and an area for muscle attatchement
ex: sternum |
|
Irregular Bone
|
Complex shape
ex: vertabrae |
|
Sutral Bone
|
wormian found in skull
|
|
Sesamoid Bone
|
bones with tendon
Ex: patella |
|
Diaphysis
|
body or shaft
|
|
Epiphysis
|
end of bone
|
|
Metaphysis
|
joins epiphysis to diaphysis
|
|
Articular Cartilage
|
thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering epiphysis
-area for articulation to reduce friction and absorb shock |
|
Periosteum
|
tough white fiberous membrane around the surface of bone
-not covered by articular cartilage -protection,nutritition, growth in diameter, repair, and attatchment of tendons and ligaments |
|
Medullary
|
marrow cavity
-contains yellow marrow |
|
Endosteum
|
lining of the medullary cavity
|
|
Compact Bone
-Volkman's canal -Haversian Canal |
volkman's canal- area where blood vessels and nerves penetrate the periosteum
Haversian Canal- runs length wise and surrounded by concentric lamellae, lucunnae are located between lamelle, and camaliculi connect one lucunae to the next |
|
Ossification
|
process of bone formation
TWO TYPES -intra membranes: cranial bones -endochondral- most bones formed this way -bone growth and remodeling deped upon nutrients available, hormones, exercise (most important hormone PTH) -demineralization results from the removal of mechanical/stress (ex: weight bearings, action at muscle) Osteroporosis- loss of calcium in bone over time |
|
How is the diameter of the bone increased?
|
Bone is increased by destruction of bone internally and deposition externally
-most important hormone that regulates blood calcium is PTH (neg.feedback) |
|
how does exercise affect the bone
|
increase strength of bone through increase deposition
-main stress on bone is from the pull of muscles caused by weight bearing exercise and gravity |
|
Loss Calcium
|
Decrease rate of protein formation which means decrease in organic portion of the bone of the matrix
-bone gets brittle |
|
Foramen
|
opening through which blood vessels nerve or ligaments pass
ex: foramen magnum depressions and opening |
|
Meatus
|
tube like passage way running within a bone
-canal Ex:external auditory meatus depressions and openings |
|
Paranasal sinus
|
-air filled cavity within a bone and connected to the nasal cavity
ex:frontal sinus cavity depressions and openings |
|
Fossa
|
depression in or on a bone
Ex:mandibular fossa (ditch or trench) Depression or openings |
|
Condyle
|
knuckle like process
-large rounded prominence that forms a joint ex: medial condyle process that form joints |
|
Head
|
-rounded projection that forms a joint and is supported by a constricted portion(neck)
ex:femoral head |
|
Facet
|
smooth flat surface
ex: illiac crest process that forms a joint |
|
tuberosity
|
large, usually roughened process
Ex:tibial tuberosity process in attatchment |
|
spinous process
|
sharp projection
ex: spinous process of vertabrae attatchement |
|
trochanter
|
large blunt projection found only on the femer
ex: greater trochanter process for attatchement |
|
crest
|
prominent border or ridge
ex: illiac crest process for attatchement |
|
Sutures
|
found in the skull and are considered immovable
-coronal suture- crown; unites frontal bone with 2 parietal bone -sagittal suture- unites the two parietal bones -lambdad- unites the parietal bones and occipital -squamous- unites parietal and temporal |
|
Cranium
|
Frontal bone- forms part of eye socket contains the frontal sinus
Parietal bone- form the majority of the roof of the cranial cavity Temporal-forms inferior portion of the cranium and portion of the floor -joins together with the zygomatic bone to form zygomatic arch -contains the mandibular fossa, mastoid process, styloid process, and the external auditory meatus -Occipital bone- contains the foramen magnum and has occipital condyles |
|
Fontels
|
cartilage or fiberous connective tissue membrane that hasnt been replaced by bone(intramembranous
aka soft spots allows rapid growth of brain during infancy |
|
articulation
|
point of contact between bones, cartilage and bones and between teeth and bones
|
|
arthorology
|
study of joints
structure determines function |
|
Joint flexibility
|
affected by hormones like relaxin
|
|
Types of structural joints
|
fiberous-no synovial cavity
-joint is held together by fibrous connective tissue cartilagonous- no synovial cavity -bones held together by cartilage synovial-has synovial cavity bones forming joint are united by a surrounding articulare capsule and accesory ligaments |
|
synarthrosis
|
immovable joints
sutures-skull gonphosis joint- teeth with maxilla and mandible synchondrosis-joint is eventually replaced by bone ex: epiphyseal plate |
|
amphiarthrosis
|
-slightly moveable
syndesmosis-band or ligament joint(dense fibrous connective tissue) -some flexibility symphysis-cartilaginous joint ex:intervertiable disc and pubic symphasis |
|
Diarthrosis
|
freely moveable (6 types)
1.gliding-back and forth movement ex:tarsals or carples 2.Hinge-ex:humerous and ulna 3.pivot-ex: proximal end of radius and ulna 4.condyloid- ex: temporal mandibular joint 5.saddle joint-ex: talus with the tibia and fibula 6.ball and socket- ex: femour with ilium -have a synovial cavity containing synovial fluid -presence of articular cartilage, fibrous capsules; ligament borsae (bone to bone) |
