- Babies are born with
~350 bones. That gradually shrinks down to 206.
- Cartilage is considered part of
the skeleton
- Three types of cartilage in the skeletal system:
Hyaline, Elastic, and Fibro.
Functions of the Skeleton
1.Support. // 2.Movement // 3.Protection // 4.Hematopoiesis – blood cell production // 5.Mineral (particularly calcium phosphates) storage.
Hyaline –
Found in four main areas: Articular cartilage, coastal cartilage, nasal cartilage, and respiratory cartilage (tracheal cartilage, bronchiole cartilage, and larnnyx)
Elastic –
Most flexible cartilage, has the biggest percentage of elastic fibers.Is found in the ear and the epiglottis
Fibro cartilage – .
Very tough and strong, hard to tear. Dense on the outside, squishy on the inside. Found in: intervertebral discs, menisci, and pubic sympysis.
Sinus –
Space within our bone that lightens the skull and resonates our voice. Lines with mucous membranes to fight respiratory infection
Cervical –
Curvature that develops when the child can hold its head up
Thoracic –
Curvature that develops when the child can sit up. Over-curvature is referred to as “lordosis”
Lumber –
Curvature that develops when a child can walk. Over-curvature is referred to as “kyphosis”
Intervertebral discs - .
Made of collagen fibers (annulus fibrousus) on the outside, Nucleus pulposus on the inside.
Nucleus pulposus – .
A glycoprotein that makes of the inside of intervertebral discs. Draws water to it through osmotic pressure.
osten that the ostecytes
Proximal epiphysis –
The end of the bone closest to the trunk of the body.
Distal epiphysis –
The end of the bone further away from the trunk of the body
Diaphysis -
The median area of the bone.
Epiphysis plate –
Hyaline cartilage cells that divide to add length to the bone, Gradually ossifies.
Endosteum – Lines the inside of the bone. Contains osteoprogenitor cells
Peristeum – Lines the outside of the bone and is continuous with the joint capsule. Contains osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoprogenitor – Makes osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Osteoblasts – Secrete bone matrix and moves like and amoeba. Works to remodel the bone.
Osteoclasts – Eats up bone
Concentric lamella – Bone matrix
Osteocytes – Bone cells that were osteoblasts before they stopped making
Canaliculi - Tunnels in the
