Osteoblasts |
Bones forming cells |
|
|
Endochondrial bones |
Most of bones of the body- originate as masses of cartilage later replaced by bone tissue |
|
|
Growth at the Epiphyseal plate |
Bone growth takes place at the epiphyseal plate(growth plate) |
|
|
Growth at the epiphyseal Plate |
Bone remolding occurs throughout life as osteoclasts resorb bone & osteoblasts replace the bone |
|
|
Growth at the epiphyseal Plate |
10%-20% of the skeleton is replaced each year |
|
|
Nutrition |
Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium- available in milk and other diary products. |
|
|
Vitamins A |
Necessary for osteoblasts and osteoclasts activities |
|
|
Vitamin C |
Necessary for collagen synthesis |
|
|
Pituitary |
Gland secretes growth hormone |
|
|
Thyroid |
Secretes thyroxine that stimulates replacement of cartilage |
|
|
Physical stress stimulates bone growth- |
When muscle contract and pull against the attachment points, the stress stimulates bone tissue to strengthen |
|
|
Lack of exercise cause the bone- |
To waste away becoming thinner and weaker |
|
|
Bone function |
Bones shape, support and product body structures, aid in body movement, house tissues that produce blood cells and share various inorganic salts. |
|
|
Support protection and movement |
The lower limbs, pelvis and vertebral column support the body’s weight |
|
|
Support, protection and movement |
The bones of the skull protect the eyes, ears, and brain |
|
|
Support, protection, and movement |
Rib cage and shoulder girdle protect the heart and lungs |
|
|
Blood cells formation |
Hermatophosis |
Process of blood cell formation- it starts in the yolk sac outside the embryo, then moves to the liver and spleen before they move to the bone marrow |
|
Two types of marrow |
Red+ yellow |
|
|
Red marrow |
Red blood cells, white blood cells and blood platelets form- the color of blood comes from hemoglobin |
|
|
Yellow marrow |
Stores fat |
|
|
Skeletal organization |
Number of bones in the body is often reported as 206 |
|
|
Sutures |
Immovable joint between the flat bones of the skull |
|
|
Axial skeleton |
Bony and cartilaginous parts that support and protects organs of the head, neck and trunk |
|
|
Appendicular skeleton |
Bones of the upper and lower limbs and the bones that anchor the limbs to the axial skeleton |
|
|
Skeleton system |
Bones that support+ protect softer tissues, provides points of attachment for muscles, house blood- producing cells+ store inorganic salts |
|
|
Skeleton system |
Bones are classified by shape long bones, short bones, flat bones + irregular bones |
|
|
Bone structure parts of a long bones |
1. Epiphysis- expanded portion which articulates(forms a joint) w/ another bone |
|
|
Proximal epiphysis |
End of bone nearest the torso(closer) |
|
|
Distal epiphysis |
End farthest from torso |
|
|
Peristeum |
Touch vascular covering of dense connective tissue, that encloses the bone except for the articular cartilage on its end |
|
|
Compact bone |
Tightly packed tissue composing the wall of the diaphysis or cortical |
|
|
Spongy bone |
Cancellous bone making up the epiphysis- this is covered by thin layers of compact bone |
|
|
Medullary cavity |
Hallow chamber inside the semingid tube in the diaphysis of a long bone |
|
|
Osteocytes |
Bones cells located in bony chambers that transport nutrients |
|
|
Ostean |
Cylinders shaped unit of osteocytes that run longitudinal w/ the bone functioning as weight bearing pillows |
|
|
Appendicular skeleton |
Pectoral girdle- scapula( shoulder blade), clavide(collarbone) |
|
|
Upper limbs |
Humerus, radius, ulnar, carpals, metacarpals and phalanges |
|
|
Pelvic girdle |
Hip bones |
|
|
Lower Limbs |
Femur, patella, Tibia, fibula, tarsals,metatarsals, phalanges |
|
|
Skull |
Usually consists of 22 bones that are firmly interlocked along sutures except the lower jaw |
|
|
Facial skeleton |
8 of these bones make up the cranium and 14 make up the.. |
|
|
Sutures |
Immovable joint |
|
|
Mandible( lower jawbone) |
Is moveable bone held to the cranium by ligaments |
|
|
Facial skeleton |
Consists of 13 immovable bones and a moveable lower jawbone. |
