80
|
|
How many bones are in the Appendicular skeleton?
|
126
|
|
What are the functions of bones?
|
Support (of the body), Protection (of soft organs), Movement (due to attached skeletal muscles), Storage (of minerals & fats), Blood cell formation.
|
|
What minerals do the bones store?
|
Ca, Phosphate, Magnesium & sulfur.
|
|
What are the 2 basic types of bone tissue?
|
Compact bone (homogeneous), Spongy bone (porous)
|
|
Describe long bones;
|
Typically longer than wide, Have a shaft w/heads @ both ends, Contain mostly compact bone (ex; Femur, Humerus)
|
|
Describe short bones;
|
Generally cube shaped, Contain mostly spongy bone (ex; Carpals, Tarsals)
|
|
Describe flat bones;
|
Thin & flattened, Usually curved, Thin layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone (ex; Skull, ribs, sternum)
|
|
Describe the Diaphysis of a long bone;
|
Shaft, Composed of compact bone.
|
|
Describe The Epiphysis of a long bone;
|
(growth plate) Ends of the bone, Composed mostly of spongy bone.
|
|
(Long Bone)
What is the Periosteum? |
The outside covering of the diaphysis, it is a fibrous connective tissue membrane, it is secured to the bone by Sharpey's Fibers. (has arteries running through it that supply bone cells w/nutrients)
|
|
(Long Bone)
What is the Articular cartilage? |
The outside covering of the epiphyses, is made of hyaline cartilage, it decreases friction @ joint surfaces.
|
|
(Long Bone)
What is the Meduallary cavity? |
Cavity of the shaft, it contains yellow marrow (mostly fat) in adults & red marrow (for blood cell formation) in infants.
|
|
What are bone markings?
|
Surface features of bones, sites of attachments for muscles, tendons & ligaments, passages for nerves & blood vessels.
|
|
What are the categories of bone markings?
|
Projections & processes (grow out from the bone surface), Depressions or cavities (indentations).
|
|
What is a Osteon?
|
(Haversian System) Name for each Complex consisting of central canal & matrix rings.
|
|
How do you remember which markings are Projections & which are Depressions?
|
All the terms beginning w/T are projections & the terms beginning w/F (except Facet) are depressions.
|
|
What is the Central (Haversian) Canal?
|
Opening in the center of an Osteon, Carries blood vessels & nerves.
|
|
What is a Perforating (Volkman's) Canal?
|
Canal perpendicular to the central canal, Carries blood vessels & nerves.
|
|
What are the Lacunae?
|
Cavities containing bone cells (osteocytes), arranged in concentric rings.
|
|
What are the Lamellae?
|
Rings around the central canal, sites of lacunae.
|
|
What are the Canaliculi?
|
Tiny canals that radiate from the central canal to lacunae (look like cracks from the Lacuna through the Lamella) They form a transport system.
|
|
What is the embryotic skeleton made up of?
|
Hyaline cartilage, during development most is replaced by bone.
|
|
Where does Cartilage remain p birth?
|
Bridge of the nose, ears, trachea, bronchi, parts of ribs, joints, discs of vertabrae.
|
|
What part of bone allows for growth of long bones during childhood?
|
Epiphyseal plates, new cartilage is continuously formed, older cartilage becomes ossified, cartilage is broken down, bone replaces cartilage.
|
|
What are Osteocytes?
|
Mature bone cells
|
|
What are Osteoblasts?
|
Bone-forming cells
|
|
What are Osteoclasts?
|
Bone-destroying cells, They break down bone matrix for remodeling & release of calcium.
|
|
Bone remodeling is a process by which cells?
|
Both Osteoblasts & Osteoclasts
|
|
What is a closed (simple) fx?
|
Break that does not penetrate the skin
|
|
What is a open (compound) fx?
|
Broken bone penetrates through the skin
|
|
Bone fractures are tx by;
|
Reduction & Immobilization (realignment of the bone
|
|
Explain the repain of bone fx;
|
Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed, Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus, Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus, Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch.
|
|
What 3 parts make up the Bony Thorax?
|
Sternum, Ribs, Thoracic vertebrae
|
|
What bones make up the Appendicular Skeleton?
|
Limbs (appendages), Pectoral Girdle, Pelvic Girdle
|
|
What 2 bones is the Pectoral (shoulder) Girdle composed of?
|
Clavicle (collarbone) & Scapula (shoulder blade), These bones allow the upper limbs to have exceptionally free movement.
|
|
What single bone forms the arm?
|
Humerus
|
|
Where on the Humerus does the deltoid attach?
|
Deltoid Tuberosity (mid humerus)
|
|

|
Ulnar-Capitulum,
Radius-Trochlea |
|
What 2 bones make up the forearm?
