if blood calcium level decreases
|
*Parathyroid gland cells detect calcium concentration. *Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is secreted. *Osteoclast activity increased, kidney retains Ca+2 and produces calcitriol.
*increase is Ca+2 level/ return to homeostasis |
|
If Ca+2 get too high
|
Calcitonin hormone is secreted from thyroid, inhibits osteoclast activity, increases bone formation by osteoblasts

|
|
Cartilaginous joints
|
Lacks a synovial cavity. Little or no movement. bones tightly connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage. Synchondroses (costal cartilage & epiphyseal plate) and symphyses (intervertebral discs and symphyses.)
|
|
synovial joints
|
Synovial cavity separates articulating bones. Freely movable. Articular cartilage (hyaline) covers bone, reduces friction, absorbs shock. Articular capsule surrounds joint. Outer = fibrous capsule called ligaments -thickened continuation of periosteum. Inner= Synovial membrane -inner lining of capsule.
